No cumbersome keyboard layouts. No web dependencies. Press Alt+T anywhere—WhatsApp, Word, Chrome, Notepad—type in Tenglish and watch it transform into authentic తెలుగు in real-time.
Works seamlessly across all your favorite desktop apps
Type phonetic Roman English (Tenglish) on the left. Watch authentic halant-first Telugu form dynamically on the right with sub-millisecond precision.
Designed as a low-level native Windows utility, not an electron web wrapper. High-performance, memory-efficient, and deeply respectful of user privacy.
Single keys create authentic half-letters (n → న్), followed by vowels for full consonants (na → న). Naturally handles double letters (nna → న్న) and complex conjuncts (ksha → క్ష).
A dynamic taskbar icon renders తె in indigo when Telugu mode is active, and EN in slate when English mode is active. Always know your active language at a glance.
Visual Status IndicatorZero cloud APIs, zero telemetry, and zero network calls. All phonetic transliteration happens strictly inside your local RAM. What you write never leaves your personal machine.
Air-Gapped PrivacyToggle between Telugu and English effortlessly using Alt+T, Scroll Lock, or record your own preferred key combination with conflict-aware live re-registration.
Single-click the tray icon to open the complete reference matrix of Achulu (అచ్చులు), Hallulu (హల్లులు), Guninthalu, and Vatthulu with instant live search and test typing.
