About the English to Arabic Typing
English to Arabic Typing lets you write Arabic without an Arabic keyboard. Type the sounds in English letters and the tool converts them to Arabic script (العربية), shown right to left as you type.
Capital letters give the emphatic and distinct Arabic consonants: H is ح, S is ص, D is ض, T is ط and Z is ظ, while lowercase gives the plain forms. Two-letter sounds like sh, th, kh and gh map to single Arabic letters.
Everything runs in your browser and stays private. Copy the Arabic output and paste it wherever you need it.
