Transliteration Engine

This extension uses the Google Input Tools API for transliteration — the same engine that powers Google's Malayalam typing tools used by millions of Malayalis worldwide. It understands natural, casual Manglish the way people actually type in chats and messages, without requiring any special notation.

Tips

• Type the word fully before the result appears — there is a short delay while the result is fetched
• If the output isn't what you expected, try an alternate spelling (e.g. sneham instead of snehm)
• Your last 20 transliterations are saved in History for quick reuse

Requirements

• macOS
• Raycast
• Internet connection (required for transliteration)
