Tamil SMS - User Guide

  "TAMIL SMS" is a Tamil SMS application that can help iPhone users to sent SMS in Tamil. Any phone which has Tamil unicode support can display the messages  sent from this application. There are many Mobile Phone Brands which support Tamil unicode.

    Tamil SMS is one of the first attempts to create a mobile software keyboard for Tamil. This application fully utilizes the large iPhone screen instead of shrinking the buttons to  default software keyboard.The main screen displays most of the common alphabets and other letters can be accessed by pressing  "shift" button or double tapping the primary buttons on the main screen.

     Double tapping a keyboard button may be a new concept to iPhone keyboards, but tit is necessary for easy access. For example, the symbol " ி " can be added by double tapping the button " இ ".

Eg1: கி  can be typed in following ways:

      க + sfift +ி 

     க + double tap இ

Combination of letters can be entered in following ways:


Eg2: ப  +   ் =  ப்


Eg3: ப  +   ் +  ப  = ப்ப


Double tap on space bar produces a period followed by a space similar to iPhone keyboard. 

      Number button gives access to the default iPhone keyboard which can be used to key in numbers, English alphabets, symbols or any thing that can be entered from normal iPhone keyboard. Tapping the SMS button will take the user to iPhone SMS interface. The data entered by the user is automatically copied to the message body. The user can modify, cancel or sent the message. Tapping  Cancel or sent options will bring back the user to  "Tamil SMS" interface.
