Malaysian computing firm Murasu Systems on Tuesday released an upgraded version of its Tamil input tool Sellinam version 2.0 that introduces auto-correction facility. The free Application (App) for Android mobile devices can be downloaded from the Google Play store.
 
Tamil software industry veterans and regular users, including some from the Tamil Wikipedia volunteers’ community, said the auto correct would encourage more users to share their views in Tamil. Muthu Nedumaran, who heads Murasu and is a pioneer in the development of Tamil input tools for three decades now, termed it “the first big step in a series of developments planned.
 
Sellinam is integrated into the mobile operating system in Android and allows users to input text in Tamil in two keyboard layouts: in English (phonetic) and through a Tamil keypad. It throws up suggestions based on an internal dictionary of 1.5 lakh common words.
 
Sellinam currently has over 1 lakh users in Android platform and in Apple’s iOS platform.
