Our verdict on Murasu Anjal

Murasu Anjal is desktop software for Tamil text input and typography on Windows and macOS. It suits people who type Tamil regularly and want a choice of familiar keyboard layouts, along with tools for refining and reading text. The published feature set includes nine layouts, including Anjal, Tamil99, typewriter, Bamini and Inscript, and supports Tamil and Tamili (Tamil Brahmi) target scripts. Offline use makes it relevant for work that does not depend on an internet connection; it is not a typing tutor or a mobile typing option.

Its breadth goes beyond keyboard entry. Predictive word and next-word suggestions, auto-correction and learned-word prioritization help adapt input to vocabulary, while a wordlist editor gives users a way to manage learned terms. Built-in dictionaries, an expanded Tamil font library and a character palette for Tamil signs, Grantha letters and symbols support text work beyond basic composition. Solvan adds a Tamil text-to-speech reader. This mix makes Anjal more suited to people who need both varied input methods and typography tools than to users seeking a narrowly focused keyboard utility.

According to the vendor's description, a free licence covers everyday Tamil typing with keyboards, input methods and core fonts; Personal and Premium licences add extended fonts and additional tools. The software is paid overall, but the free licence provides a way to handle core typing before paying for those additions. Support channels include email, phone and documentation, and the product's history dates to 1985. Choose Anjal if desktop Tamil typing, layout flexibility, offline access or font and text tools are priorities. Those who need mobile access, guided typing practice or only a basic input method may be better served by a simpler alternative.
