Select Smart keyboard
Open Smart Arabic keyboard and choose Smart keyboard. The virtual keys show Arabic letters, while physical English typing stays English until you choose a suggestion or finish a word.
Type salam, pause, and choose سلام from the available suggestions. Review the word before continuing.
Finish the word with Space
Type salam, pause, and choose سلام from the available suggestions. Review the word before continuing.
Space accepts the highlighted suggestion or the first available one. Check that the selected word is سلام before accepting it.
Choose and review the Arabic word
Space accepts the highlighted suggestion or the first available one. Check that the selected word is سلام before accepting it.
Review سلام. If a letter needs correction, select it and click the intended Arabic key.
The original English spelling is included among the word choices. A candidate replaces only its word while preserving nearby text and any following space or new line. A direct letter correction replaces your selected range. Undo reverses either edit.
Handle a missing match or connection
An empty response reports that no matching words were found and keeps the original input. Try another spelling, or switch to Fast and construct the word locally.
If suggestions are temporarily unavailable, the English word also stays in place. Arabic virtual keys still insert characters directly. Simple offers direct physical positions, and Fast offers local English-to-Arabic letter mapping.
A word request does not translate a sentence or guarantee that a name is spelled correctly. Review the Arabic before saving or sharing it.
Continue and keep your draft
Type the next English spelling and finish it with Space or Enter. For a known Arabic character or punctuation mark, click its key directly. Add harakat from the final row after the relevant letter.
Text style changes the complete draft. Copy gives you text to paste; Save Word (.docx) creates an editable document; Save image (.png) creates a rendered white-background image. Oversized image exports may need less text.
Smart sends the current transliterated word to the site endpoint for previews or completed-word suggestions, not the full draft. Recent results are reused only in page memory. Direct entry, editing, and download generation happen in the browser. Opening a search or share service sends the selected passage, or the whole draft when nothing is selected, to that destination.

Questions about this method
Why do English letters stay visible with suggestions?
A preview does not change the typed word. Choose a candidate or finish with Space to insert a suggestion. Choose Fast if you want each English key converted immediately.
Will a failed request erase my English word?
No. A failed or empty request keeps the word and displays feedback. Continue with another spelling or a local method.
Do the Arabic keys need the word service?
No. Clicking a displayed Arabic key inserts it directly. The service is used for English-word previews and completed-word suggestions.
