தமிழ்
All languagesAlfaaz speaks everyday Tamil on WhatsApp, follows what your parent says, and keeps each story in their original voice.
The easiest way to record your parents' stories in Tamil is to make speaking the only task. Alfaaz sends one gentle Tamil voice note on WhatsApp, your parent replies when they want, and the next question follows their answer. Every recording is kept with its transcript, story summary, people, and places.
“நீங்க சொன்ன அந்த மாமரம், தாத்தா வீட்டு முற்றத்துல இன்னும் என்னென்ன இருந்துச்சு, யாரு பார்த்துக்குவாங்க?”Spoken Tamil and literary Tamil can feel like different rooms. A parent who says சொல்றீங்க, வரேன், and இல்ல should not hear a stiff question written as if it came from a textbook. Alfaaz is configured for பேச்சுத் தமிழ் so the conversation stays close to everyday family speech.
Alfaaz writes Tamil in Tamil script for reliable speech, while leaving a natural English proper noun intact when the elder uses one. It prefers spoken forms over literary ones and does not force a regional dialect. It mirrors the elder's own wording as the relationship develops.
Follow the memory
Specific questions unlock scenes. Relationship words keep every person in the right place.
“நீங்க சொன்ன அந்த மாமரம், தாத்தா வீட்டு முற்றத்துல இன்னும் என்னென்ன இருந்துச்சு, யாரு பார்த்துக்குவாங்க?”Use the mango tree to reopen the whole courtyard memory.
Tamil kinship carries side and relative age. சித்தப்பா and பெரியப்பா distinguish a father's younger and elder brother; சித்தி, பெரியம்மா, மாமா, and அத்தை locate other relationships. பாட்டி and தாத்தா do not identify the side by themselves, so Alfaaz waits for context instead of guessing.
Tamil stories often hold more than events. They hold the exact word used for an older sibling, the town name pronounced at home, the recipe instruction no one measured, and the rhythm of a parent moving between Tamil and an English school or work word. The voice recording keeps all of it.
Your parent only speaks. Alfaaz carries the structure, memory, and archive.
