We are a non-profit research foundation building free technology for Tamil: dictionaries, analysers and learning labs that keep the world's oldest living language thriving in the digital age.
Every tool begins as a research question in language computing and ends as free public infrastructure: a dictionary of a million words, morphological analysers built on Tholkappiyam's grammar, learning labs used across India.
No paywall, no advertising. Sign in once and every tool is yours, on your phone, tablet or desktop.
