Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about reading handwritten Urdu.

Handwritten Nastaliq Urdu, Read Right-to-Left

In Nastaliq, letters don't sit neatly on a line — they stack and flow into each other, and the same letter shifts shape by position. This tool was tuned for that complexity, reading handwritten Urdu faithfully and reconstructing it in correct right-to-left order.
