Convert lyrics you paste into English letters

How do I convert lyrics to English letters?

Paste the lyrics into the box. Leave the script on auto-detect or pick it yourself, then copy the result. Hindi comes out as what most people call Hinglish, Tamil as Tanglish and Malayalam as Manglish: the same words, typed in English letters the way singers type them to each other.

Is this transliteration or translation?

It is transliteration. Each word keeps its sound and is respelled in English letters, so a singer who cannot read the script can still sing the line. It does not tell you what the line means, and nothing here translates meaning.

What comes out:

• Plain English letters with no accent marks, dots or macrons. The spelling follows how singers write lyrics in chat messages, not a textbook romanisation scheme.
• The first letter of each line as a capital, for scripts that have no capitals of their own.
• Your line breaks, punctuation, English words and section tags such as [Chorus], left exactly as you typed them.

What does not come out is a line the rules cannot read. That line is returned unchanged and listed under the result with the note "this line needs the AI option in the app".

Which scripts can it convert?

The converter handles 14 scripts by fixed rules. The conversion is instant and uses no AI, so the same input always gives the same output.

Rows marked "by AI in the app" are not part of this tool. Inside the app those scripts go through an AI step, which needs a connection and can fail.

How does each script come out in English letters?

Each section below has the engine's own character table for a single script: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. The tables are produced by running the tool's rules over each letter, so a table and the tool cannot disagree.

A table shows a letter on its own. Inside a word the same letter can come out differently, because the rules look at the letters on either side of it. Convert a full line to see the real result.

How do I use the result on stage?

The tool stops at the text: it does not save it, scroll it or keep a song list. Copy the result into whatever you sing from.

In StageFloww the same rules sit behind a per-song switch, so you can flip a song between its original script and English letters while it is on screen. The transliteration feature page lists the scripts and the known failure cases, and lyrics on stage covers the full-screen view and auto-scroll. For how this fits a night with several languages in it, see the page for singers working in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam or the one for Bollywood bands.
