English to Tamil audio translator

Family who follow Tamil more easily than English, a team sharing a briefing, a student going over a class. Every paragraph keeps its time, and the Word file opens with the recording’s length, “Translated: English → Tamil” and the date.

In our test, translation from English into Tamil scored clearly above the dedicated translation system we compared it with. Tamil came out about a tenth longer than the English it translated.

Yes, when the English says so. In our test, “Our doctor said she would call back tomorrow” kept its woman in both the Tamil pronoun and the verb ending. Tamil sentences usually end with the verb, so the order of the parts changes from the English.

The Tamil line: “அவள் நாளை மீண்டும் அழைப்பாள் என்று எங்கள் மருத்துவர் கூறினார்”, with அவள் (she) at the start and “our doctor said” at the end.

In Tamil script, with titles written out: “Dr. Patel and Maria Lopez” became “டாக்டர் படேல் மற்றும் மரியா லோபஸ்”. For the exact spelling of a name, to quote or search for it, go back to the English transcript at the same time.

Figures. Our test turned 6.5 percent into “6.50 சதவீதம்”, adding a zero, though $1,250 came through as “1,250 டாலர்”. Compare prices, percentages and dates with the English before you pass the Tamil on, and remember a word misheard in English is translated as misheard.
