Frequently asked questions
Why does the Urdu text look like Naskh, not Nastaliq?
The shape depends on the fonts on your device. If you have a Nastaliq font such as Jameel Noori Nastaleeq or Noto Nastaliq Urdu installed, the box uses it.
Can I paste the text into Word or WhatsApp?
Yes. Press Copy and paste it anywhere that supports Urdu or Hindi, which is almost every app.
Is my text saved?
