Voice Typing in Urdu
Urdu's Nastaliq script, flowing, calligraphic, and right-to-left, is beautiful but extremely difficult to type digitally. Most Urdu speakers resort to Roman Urdu on messaging apps because Nastaliq keyboards are so cumbersome. Zavi AI changes this: speak in Urdu and get properly formatted Nastaliq script text, bringing the elegance of written Urdu back to digital communication.

Urdu typing: default keyboard vs Zavi
| Workflow | Default keyboard | With Zavi |
|---|---|---|
| Typing effort | Manual Urdu typing means wrestling with nastaliq variant of arabic script, right-to-left, with urdu-specific characters and slowing down for every correction. | Speak naturally in Urdu and let Zavi handle the script, spacing, punctuation, and cleanup. |
| Accuracy | Default keyboards often miss regional accents, code-switching, or specialized wording. | Zavi is tuned for Urdu use cases, regional pronunciation, and context-driven output. |
| Cross-language work | Translation usually means rewriting or copying content into a separate tool. | Keep the output in Urdu or translate it instantly into English and other supported languages. |
