Tamil Conversion Tools for Docs

Transliterate & convert legacy Tamil (Bamini/TSCII) fonts to Unicode

tamilunicodetransliterationbaminitsciilegacy font
Three Tamil text utilities in one Google Docs card — type in English and get
Tamil script, convert legacy Bamini / TSCII-style fonts into real Unicode, and
clean up your text, all in place inside the document.

WHAT IT DOES
• Transliteration — type romanised Tamil (tamil) and turn it into Tamil Unicode
  (தமிழ்).
• Legacy font to Unicode — convert common Bamini / TSCII-style legacy characters
  into proper Tamil Unicode that is searchable, portable, and future-proof.
• Cleanup — collapse double spaces, strip stray control characters, trim
  trailing whitespace, and normalise to Unicode NFC.
• Scope selector — whole document or the current selection only.
• Formatting preserved — edits run on the document model in place, so paragraph
  and character formatting survive.

GREAT FOR
• Migrating legacy Tamil documents into portable Unicode.
• Typing Tamil phonetically in English and getting clean script.
• Cleaning up mixed or messy Tamil text without a third-party site.

FREE & PRO
• Free: all three modes, whole document or selection — 30 conversions/month,
  no signup.
• Pro: unlimited conversions. 14-day full trial.

Honest note: the transliteration and legacy maps are pragmatic and
representative — they cover the common letters and are built to be extended, not
a claim of full coverage.

Privacy-first: the add-on only touches your active document — no upload to a
third-party site. Fast support and frequent updates.
