Why Use Our Online Arabic Keyboard?
Our online Arabic typing tool lets you type Arabic quickly without installing software or changing your device settings. Whether you are on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone, you can write Arabic straight from your browser. It is built for students, teachers, travelers, translators, and anyone who needs to write in Arabic without extra setup.
Unlike older tools that only let you click letters with a mouse, this keyboard also maps your real keys to the standard Arabic layout and offers English-to-Arabic transliteration, so you can type as fast as you think.
Three Ways to Type Arabic
This tool gives you every way to write Arabic in one place:
- On-screen keyboard: Click the Arabic letters with your mouse or finger.
- Your own keyboard: In Arabic Keyboard mode, your physical keys follow the standard Arabic (101) layout. Pressing H types ا, J types ت, and so on, even on a keyboard with no Arabic letters printed on it.
- Transliteration: Switch to transliteration and write the sound in English. Type salam for سلام, 7abibi for حبيبي, or 9alam for قلم. This Franco-Arabic style is popular across North Africa and the Middle East.
Type Arabic with Tashkeel
Tashkeel matters for correct pronunciation and meaning. Our keyboard includes the main Arabic diacritics such as Fatha, Damma, Kasra, Tanween, Shadda, and Sukun in a dedicated row. Type a letter, then tap the diacritic to add it. This is ideal for learners, teachers, and anyone writing educational or religious Arabic text.
Works on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android
The keyboard is fully responsive. On a phone you can tap the on-screen keys or use transliteration; on a desktop you get the full Arabic layout, copy and save tools, and text-to-speech. It works in Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and other modern browsers.
Copy, Save, Translate, Listen and Search
Besides Arabic letters, Tashkeel, and Eastern Arabic numerals (٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩), you can copy your text in one click, save it as a file, translate it, listen to it with text-to-speech, and search it directly on Google, YouTube, or Wikipedia in Arabic. Everything is processed privately in your browser — use Copy or Save as .txt to keep your text before you leave.
Tips for Typing Arabic Faster
If you are new to writing in Arabic, start in transliteration mode and type words the way they sound, then switch to the standard layout as you memorise the key positions. Use the diacritics row only when you need precise vowels, keep your sentences short, and rely on the copy button to move text into WhatsApp, email, or documents. When you finish, copy your text or save it as a file — the editor starts fresh on every visit. With a little practice, most people write here as quickly as they do in their own language, whether they are on a phone, tablet, or computer.
How We Compare to Other Arabic Keyboards
Most online keyboards do one thing and stop there. Many have no Tashkeel, no voice, only mouse-clicking, and an interface that was last updated years ago. We built this tool to fix every one of those gaps in a single, fast, mobile-first page.
