Tamil output, written the right way

Tamil output is in Tamil script. Spoken Tamil differs a lot from formal written Tamil, and casual speech often mixes in English words, which makes recognition harder. Standard and broadcast Tamil transcribe well; heavy regional varieties from Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka are less reliable.
