About this app

Sellinam 5.1 for Android is a complete new version that supports Android 11. In addition to Tamil and English keyboards, that include voice typing, this version adds Solvan - an advanced Text-to-Speech utility that reads aloud Tamil and English text.

Major new features in the keyboards include next word prediction, word correction, spelling correction, user-dictionary, short-cuts and many others.

As this is a system wide input method, you may use Sellinam to send SMS messages, Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, Tweet, Facebook and all the fun things you do on your phone --- directly in Tamil. There is no need to cut-and-paste!

Sellinam was first developed for featured phones in the year 2003 and subsequently launched for public usage in 2005, on Ponggal day.

Enjoy Sellinam and please spread the word around if you like this app.

When im typing a page and above. It goes very bad. The poiner jumps from the end to somewhere in middle. Often it highlights some words and started to write over it. Words will suddenly move from their place and jump to somewhere else. Im facing this issue for 4 years. I have used muliple brand phones ( Mi, samsung, vivo )...this happens in all of them.

Could you capture a video that demonstrates this problem and send it to us at sellinam.help@gmail.com. This sounds very strange and we have not heard about this from any of our users before. If you can send us a video capture, we will most definitely look into the issue. Thank you!

Nice keyboard. Only two things are missing. 1. Swipe. 2. Arrow keys. Edit (Nov 2022): I have to bring down the star rating from 5 to 3, as the cursor arrow keys are sorely missing. Dictionary also missing. Biggest miss is the support from the developer. He has not even responded. He seems to have abandoned it.

Arrow keys are a new feature request. We are considering it but not for immediate releases. Work is going on to fix the dictionary editor. Sellinam is our flagship. We respond to all support emails we receive.

Hi, I’m facing a backspace/cursor issue with Sellinam on Android. In ChatGPT and X, when I place the cursor after an incorrect letter and press Backspace, sometimes the space before the word gets deleted instead of the letter. This does not happen in WhatsApp or Instagram. I tested with Gboard and it works normally. So this seems to be a Sellinam compatibility issue with certain apps. Please check and fix this in a future update.
