How to Write Arabic Without an Arabic Keyboard

Type your text in the box above using the Latin letters closest to how the word sounds. The converter recognizes common digraphs (like "sh" for ش and "kh" for خ) as well as Arabizi digits (like 3 for ع and 7 for ح), so you can write naturally, the way people already text in Arabizi.

This is especially useful if you're on a device without an Arabic keyboard layout installed, or if you simply find it faster to type using the keys you already know.

Common Uses

  • Writing a message in Arabic on a computer or phone without an Arabic keyboard.
  • Converting Arabizi chat messages into proper Arabic script for a more formal context.
  • Practicing spelling Arabic words by sound.
  • Preparing Arabic text for documents, captions, or social media posts.

Example Conversions

marhaba → مرحبا
shukran → شكرا
7abibi → حبيبي

Frequently Asked Questions

Type your text using Latin letters (or Arabizi, using numbers like 3 and 7) in the box above. The Arabic script equivalent appears instantly on the other side, ready to copy.

Yes. The converter recognizes common Arabizi conventions, such as 3 for ع and 7 for ح, alongside standard Latin spellings.

Because Arabic has sounds that don't exist in Latin script, some words have more than one common spelling. If a conversion doesn't look right, try an alternative spelling (for example "kh" instead of "x" for خ).

It serves the same purpose without requiring you to learn a new keyboard layout: you type using the keys you already know, and the tool produces the corresponding Arabic script.
