Frequently asked questions

How do I add Arabic diacritics automatically?
Type or paste your text in Andalusi and pick the diacritics tool. AI adds the fatha, damma, kasra and shadda to every letter within seconds, with no manual editing.
Does the AI set harakat from sentence context?
Yes. The tool reads the context of the whole sentence and places each mark in its correct position, instead of vowelling each word in isolation, which is what prevents pronunciation and meaning errors.
Can I color the diacritics without changing the text?
Yes, and this is unique to Andalusi: color the harakat independently of the letters, white text with gold harakat for example, for a visual contrast that sets your design apart.
Can I add harakat to single words and names?
Yes. The tool works with any Arabic text, a single word, a name, a verse or a full paragraph, and adds the correct marks with the same accuracy.
Is the Arabic diacritics tool free?
Yes, you can use the diacritics tool free after installing the app on iOS and Android, with extra capabilities in the Pro subscription.
What are the Arabic accent marks called?
The Arabic accent marks are the harakat, known in Arabic as tashkeel: fatha, damma and kasra for the short vowels, plus shadda for a doubled letter and sukoon for no vowel on a letter such as alif. Andalusi adds all of them automatically.
Does it work with every Arabic font?
Yes. Diacritics work across more than 455 Arabic fonts in the Andalusi library, from Naskh and Thuluth to modern faces, and render correctly on mobile.
