Closed Beta: Android now · iOS coming soon

Learn to read Tamil, one letter at a time.

Uyirmei teaches the traditional 247 letters of the Tamil script through short, delightful quizzes: the 12 vowels (uyir), the 18 consonants (mei), and the compound letters (uyirmei) they make together. Everything stays on your phone: no account, no tracking, no backend.

Built for real learners

Designed to help you master reading Tamil letters without memorization fatigue.

Uyir · Vowels

Life letters

Start with the 12 primary vowels that bring sounds to life, from short and long vowel pairs to the aytham ஃ.

Mei · Consonants

Body letters

Master the 18 pure consonants marked with the traditional pulli dot, focusing on sound nuances and letter shapes.

Uyirmei · Compounds

Life meets body

Combine vowels and consonants to form all 216 compound letters. Dissect vowel markers and understand the script systematically.

Drill confusable letters

Wrong answers are intelligently drawn from letters learners actually mix up: the three n's (ண, ந, ன), l's (ல, ள, ழ), and r's (ர, ற), plus short versus long vowels.

Spaced repetition progress

A 10-dot pulli indicator tracks your deck mastery. Letters advance only after you answer them reliably across spaced sessions, with built-in review rounds.

Interactive 247-letter chart

Explore the complete 18×12 script matrix. Tap any compound letter to inspect its breakdown into its consonant and vowel marker components.

Clean, playful, focused

Chunky tactile tiles, warm palm-leaf manuscript tones, and automatic dark mode that respects your system settings.
