Qalam is designed to facilitate writing, saving and sharing messages in Urdu spoken on a smart phone. The writings will be in noori nastaleeq font. Qalam is particularly useful for languages where letters of any given word are joined to one another in a continuous flowing line like in Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. Messages can be spoken in any language in the world and shared using the common message sharing tools. Once written, the messages can be viewed by scrolling by up and down arrow.
