Tamil Specialist

Overview

Tamil catches AI on its split between everyday spoken forms and formal literary Tamil: the model mixes the two, producing text no one would say aloud or write in earnest. Its honorifics land unevenly and its script handling can slip, and a native speaker is who hears where it goes wrong.

As a Tamil Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Tamil, teaching models to keep spoken and formal registers where they belong.

What you’ll actually do

• Review translations between English and Tamil for meaning, flow, and the right register.
• Score and rank model output in Tamil, catching mixed spoken and literary forms and misused honorifics.
• Write the better version when the model falls short, natural in whichever register the context calls for.
