Tamil Pad

استمتع بملايين من أحدث التطبيقات والألعاب والمقاطع الموسيقية والأفلام والعروض التلفزيونية والكتب والمجلات والمزيد على نظام التشغيل Android، وقتما تشاء وأينما تذهب، وذلك عبر أجهزتك.

TamilPad is a lightweight tool/utility which comes in handy to type in tamil using normal english soft keyboard.

The main advantage TamilPad offers is that it doesn't require Internet connection. As you start typing the text is instantly converted into tamil in another view below english text.

Other features include:

* Allows saving the text to a file.

* Opening saved TamilPad text for re-editing.

* Allows sending the text via SMS and Email.

* The text can also be copied which can be later pasted wherever required.(Say for example, you want to add a new contact to phonebook with name in tamil.)

* Separate buttons are available at the top for each of these features.

Examples:

தமிழ் --- tamizh

திருவண்ணாமலை --- tiruvaNNaamalai

சிறந்த நண்பர் --- ciRanta naNpar

The saved documents can be located in your external storage(or in your Internal storage on some devices) at: /Your_SD_Card/TamilPad folder.

The saved documents can be opened with any text editor of your choice. The same file opens perfectly on your laptop/desktop too. However if you want to update the file, you should open it in TamilPad.

One more thing to note here is that the folder also contains a "tmp" folder which contains some metadata of the files saved. So please make sure that the files under this folder is not deleted incase you want to edit the saved files later.

Regarding sending email, the first part of the text until an enter key press is treated as the email subject. And the remaining text goes as the email body.

Please Note: The app purely depends on the unicode support of your device. As you start typing in english, if you dont see corresponding tamil text being generated, then probably your device doesnt support unicode and sorry that TamilPad cannot be of any use to you.

The permissions read/write external storage are for opening/saving existing TamilPad documents. The other permissions are of course added to serve advertisements.
