The dictionary on your desk, not in the cloud.

Offline Quillar installs ten Tamil dictionaries on your PC and sits quietly in the tray. Select a word anywhere — a PDF, a web page, a document — press the hotkey, and the entry is there.

What it does.

Look up from anywhere

Select a Tamil word in any program and press the hotkey. A small glance window shows the entry; press again and it is gone. You never leave what you were reading.

Browse like a book

Every headword sits between its neighbours, so you can walk up and down the alphabet the way you would turn pages — useful when you are not sure of a spelling.

Two settings

Read it as a palm-leaf bundle — ochre, umber, madder — or as a nigandu, chalk on indigo. Switch any time.

Completely offline

The whole dictionary is on your disk. After activation the app never connects to anything; nothing you look up is recorded anywhere.

Ten sources, side by side

From the 1937 Madurai Tamil Peragarathi to the present, each dictionary's entry is shown under its own name and year.

Free upgrades

The download link in your licence email always fetches the newest version. Install it over the old one; your key and settings carry across.
