iTypeArabic β€” 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 β€” single letters, two-letter pairs, three- and four-letter words, and finally fully-vocalized words with tashkΔ«l. 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 β€” آ، ث، ذ، ظ، ع، غ، Ψ‘ β€” 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.
