How English to Tamil typing works

This is transliteration: you spell Tamil words with the English alphabet and Bhasini writes the same sounds in Tamil. It does not translate English words into Tamil. Type vaNakkam, not "hello".

Each word is redrawn on every key, so combinations like kh, aa and ksh form the right letter automatically.
