## What is iTypeArabic?

iTypeArabic — Arabic Typing Trainer                                         

Master the Arabic keyboard on iPhone, one letter at a time.                 
                                                      
iTypeArabic is a focused typing trainer that grows with you. Whether you're 
 new to the Arabic keyboard or want to type faster, six practice modes meet 
you where you are.                                                          
                                                      
Progression mode walks you through five stages — single letters, two-letter 
pairs, three- and four-letter words, and finally fully-vocalized words with 
tashkīl. Each session unlocks the next stage when your speed and accuracy   
improve.                                             

Free typing lets you cruise through Modern Standard Arabic paragraphs at    
your own pace, like a typing test for Arabic. Letter drills focus on tricky 
glyphs — ض، ث، ذ، ظ، ع، غ، ء — with custom word sets per drill. Sprints are 
60-second speed runs. The Daily challenge is the same word order for 
everyone on a given day.

Track your real progress: a 14-day speed chart, a per-letter accuracy       
heatmap that shows exactly which Arabic letters slow you down, streak 
counts, and unlockable achievements. Multiple profiles let your whole       
household share one device.                          

Three color palettes (Biomorphic, Bohemian, Chinoiserie) and three          
Arabic/Latin typography pairings (Reem Kufi, Amiri, Tajawal) let you match 
the look to your taste.                                                     
                                                      
Privacy-first: every session, every keystroke, every profile stays on your  
device. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions.
