OCR is under maintenance

We're upgrading the Tamil OCR engine to improve accuracy.

Both Tamil OCR (printed text) and Handwriting OCR are temporarily unavailable while we roll out improvements. Everything else on ProofTamil is working normally.

What's still available

Tamil Proofreading — spelling, grammar, sandhi, style
AI Content Writer — blogs, essays, articles in Tamil & English
Free Tamil Editor — type Tamil in your browser

Sorry for the interruption. We'll have OCR back online shortly with better accuracy for both printed and handwritten Tamil text. Need help in the meantime? Contact us.
