About Arabic typing with Likho
Typing Arabic from English letters
Use this English to Arabic typing page to enter Arabic words from an English keyboard. Type a phonetic spelling and choose an Arabic-script suggestion that matches your meaning. The editor aligns Arabic from right to left, making it easier to inspect words and sentences in their normal reading direction.
Arabic transliteration can be ambiguous because Roman letters do not capture every distinction in Arabic spelling or pronunciation. Vowels may be omitted in ordinary writing, and names often have established personal forms. A greeting like marhaban may appear as مرحبا, but review each result in context rather than treating it as a translation.
The page works for a short personal message, a note, an invitation, or a draft that you plan to refine. Choose suggestions deliberately and read the sentence from right to left. If the text is for a formal setting, check word choice, punctuation, and any conventions required by your audience.
Typing additional letters can narrow the choices, while a full phrase helps you spot a word with the wrong meaning. Arabic letters change shape depending on their position, so check the complete word rather than judging a single isolated character. Verify names and specialized vocabulary separately.
For a polished Arabic message, confirm the right-to-left flow and review how punctuation appears alongside the words. Check names, dates, and formal expressions against a trusted source. Transliteration helps with keyboard entry, but it does not translate sentences or confirm that a phrase is culturally appropriate.
Choose the page's language and type a word with familiar English letters. Review suggestions with arrow keys or a pointer, select the form you want, and continue. This changes script; it does not translate a sentence.
The editor lets you format text, adjust size and alignment, and keep several documents in tabs. Copy a passage, or use print and download controls. Review spelling, names, and layout before sharing.
The tool runs in your browser without a language keyboard installation. Documents remain in the current tab session, not cloud storage. Themes and learned preferences may be saved locally. Voice typing depends on browser support.
Live suggestions need internet and send the current word and language to Google Input Tools. Suggestions do not guarantee correct spelling, grammar, or tone. Read the full text and verify important writing with a reliable source.
