Spoken Tamil and written Tamil

Tamil on video sounds very different from Tamil in a textbook. Translation starts from what was said.

Written formWord for wordOur English
வந்துட்டேன் (vandhutten)வந்துவிட்டேன்I have comeI’m here
என்ன ஆச்சு? (enna aachu)என்ன ஆயிற்று?what becameWhat happened?

Machan, Semma, Vanakkam

Words Tamil viewers love. Translate them, or keep them with the glossary.

Carnatic music lessons

Raga and tala names, swaras and kriti titles must never be translated. Put “Kalyani”, “Adi talam” or “sa ri ga ma” in the glossary as bare terms and they stay exactly as said.

Pick English subtitles when the singing is the lesson: the teacher’s voice stays untouched and the English explains between phrases.

  • Raga and tala names kept
  • Singing left untouched
  • Bilingual subtitles for students

Tamil film reviews

Kollywood reviews have fans far outside Tamil Nadu.

Reviewers talk fast, in Tanglish, with jokes in every line. The English keeps the punch: “mass scene” stays a mass scene, and “BGM” stays BGM.

An English voice in the reviewer’s own tone keeps the personality that viewers subscribe for.

Tamil from India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Malaysia

Frequently asked questions

Can AI translate Tamil video to English if it is in spoken Tamil?

Yes. It is built for speech, so colloquial forms and Tanglish are read as they are said, then turned into natural English.

Will English words in the Tamil stay the same?

Yes. Words already said in English, like “mass” or “super”, stay in the English line.

Can I keep Tamil words like machan?

Add the word to the glossary as a bare term and it stays as written in every line.

How much does Tamil to English cost?

The first 60 seconds are free. English subtitles use 0.2 credits a minute, an English voice 1.5 and lip sync 5. Signing up gives 3 free credits for 30 days.

Can I translate Tamil songs?

Speech translates well; singing is not voiced in English. For music lessons, use subtitles so the singing stays as it is.

Can I get Tamil and English subtitles together?

Yes. Download a bilingual SRT or VTT file.
