Arabic Handwriting to Text

Convert a photo of handwritten Arabic into editable text line by line, with uncertain words highlighted and unreadable words marked instead of guessed.

Turn a photo of a handwritten Arabic page into text you can copy and edit, line by line, exactly as written — no spelling correction and no completing half-written words.

What makes it usable for real work: words read without certainty are highlighted, and a word that could not be read is replaced with [؟]. You do not get clean text that hides the doubt; you get text that shows you where to check.

Who it is for

  • Study notes

    A lecture notebook turned into searchable text.

  • Family archives

    Old letters and diaries preserved as text.

  • Paper surveys

    Handwritten answers transcribed for analysis.

  • Drafts and recipes

    A draft written on paper moved onto the computer.

How it works

  1. Photograph the page in good light and upload it.
  2. Text is transcribed line by line as written.
  3. Uncertain words are highlighted and unreadable ones marked [؟].
  4. Copy the text and review the highlighted words before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is it?

It depends on the handwriting and the photo. That is why uncertain words are highlighted instead of silently guessed.

Does it fix spelling?

No — you get what the writer wrote. Use the proofreader afterwards if you want corrections.

Does it read old manuscripts?

It tries; modern ruq'a and naskh hands give far better results than old manuscripts. What it cannot read is stated.
