Type3arabi 1.1.2

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Sep 17:59

Type Arabic on Windows the way you already text. Write Arabizi (mar7aba, 3ala, 2albi) in any app and
Type3arabi turns it into the Arabic you meant, with the most likely word already picked.

اكتب بالعربيزي في أي برنامج على ويندوز، و«اكتب عربي» يحوّلها إلى العربية التي قصدتها.

Type3arabi-1.1.2-x64.msi — Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit (contains the 64-bit and 32-bit keyboard, so 32-bit apps work
too). Type3arabi-x64.msi is the same file (the website's "latest" link). SHA-256 sums: SHA256SUMS.txt.

Not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows "Unknown publisher". Choose More info → Run anyway, ideally after
checking the SHA-256: Get-FileHash .\Type3arabi-1.1.2-x64.msi -Algorithm SHA256.

New in 1.1.2

  • Arabic (101) stays out of your keyboard list. Windows sometimes put an Arabic (101) keyboard back in the
    Win+Space list after a restart, next to Type3arabi, although you never chose it. Type3arabi removed it only in the
    first minutes after sign-in, so a later one stayed. It now also checks every 5 minutes. It changes no setting and
    never removes a keyboard you added yourself. You can turn the check off in Settings → Learning & privacy (the
    first minutes after sign-in are still checked).
  • The switching shortcut always picks Type3arabi, even when Windows had loaded Arabic (101) first.

New in 1.1

  • The word list shows in Windows Search and Settings. Typing there already turned Arabizi into Arabic, but the list
    of words stayed hidden behind the search panel. It now opens above it, as in every other app.
  • Uninstalling asks before it erases anything. The uninstall page has a checkbox, off by default: Also erase my
    learned word choices and settings
    . The last page confirms that Type3arabi is uninstalled and, when you kept them,
    that your learned words are still saved for a later reinstall.

Upgrading from 1.0 or 1.1: run the new MSI; your settings and learned words are kept.

Install

  1. Run the MSI. The page after the license lists what it adds. A restart is recommended at the end.
  2. Press Win+Space and pick Arabic · Type3arabi, or press Ctrl+Alt+A (your own shortcut can be set in Settings).
  3. Type mar7aba and press Space.

What's in it

  • A real Windows keyboard (TSF): one entry under Arabic, in every app.
  • Steps aside by itself: the browser's address bar and password fields get plain Latin — no switching back and forth.
  • Your word, already picked: Space inserts it, ↓ / click / mouse wheel pick another; Shift+Space keeps a word in Latin.
  • Reads your dialect automatically: Levantine, Egyptian, Gulf, Iraqi, Maghrebi and MSA.
  • ‎«اللّه»‎, «شكراً»‎ and Arabic punctuation ،‎ ؛‎ ؟‎ handled automatically.
  • Diacritics editor (Tab): any mark on any letter, several letters at once, ready-made vowellings.
  • Learns your choices, on this PC only; export/import them (.t3learn) or erase them.
  • Settings app: every shortcut editable (shortcuts Windows already uses are refused, with the reason); light/dark.
  • 100% offline: no account, no network, no telemetry. Privacy: https://type3arabi.com/privacy

Known limitations

  • Start menu search may add its own suggestion after your word (for example a whole sentence after «مرحباً»‎). That is Windows, not Type3arabi; pasting the word into Start shows the same.
  • x64 Windows only (ARM64 later). Egyptian has little training data yet.
  • Upgrading while apps use the keyboard finishes at the next restart.
