A course that teaches you to read and type Arabic from the first letter. You type every word yourself, on the app's Arabic keyboard or your phone's, so you learn where each letter lives. 36 lessons cover the alphabet, tashkeel, and the most common words. Every word has audio, and words you miss come back for review. No account, no ads. Lesson 1 is free.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Salah. I made ArabicTyper.
It began as a website where you practise typing Arabic words on the Arabic keyboard layout. That site is still free, and it has a page for about 2,800 words. People kept asking for something that starts earlier, before you know the letters at all. So I built the app.
The course has 17 units and 36 lessons. Seven units go through the alphabet a few letters at a time. One covers tashkeel, the small marks that change how a word sounds. The rest teach the most common words, then everyday phrases and short sentences.
In a lesson you see the new letters, find them on the keyboard, and type real words from Arabic script, from Arabizi, and from English. You also build words from letter tiles, pick meanings, and type what you hear. Every word and sentence has audio, and I listened to each clip before it went in. Words you miss come back in a review queue, spaced further apart each time you get them right.
There's no account and no ads. Your progress stays on your phone.
On pricing, up front: lesson 1 is free and the rest is paid. Pro is $7.99 a month, $39.99 a year with 7 free days, or $79.99 once.
It's on iPhone, iPad and Android. I'd love to hear where a lesson felt too fast or too slow, and which words you expected to find and didn't.
