Proofreading Arabic and Persian as You Type

Most advice about grammar checkers assumes you write in English. If you write in Arabic or Persian, there are far fewer choices.

Edyt checks Arabic and Persian as you type, in the apps you already use on Windows and Mac. Persian is my first language, so this one matters to me.

How well it works

We tested it before writing this, because I did not want to claim something we had not checked. The test used 10 sentences with a known mistake in each language, plus 5 correct sentences, run through the same check the app uses.

That is a small test, and the sentences were written with AI help, so treat it as a good sign and not a guarantee. The one Persian miss was a verb that did not match its subject in the second half of a sentence.

Sentences with Arabic script go to a stronger AI model than most text, which is a large part of why these scores are good. That covers both Arabic and Persian.

What it checks

It catches spelling mistakes, including real words used in the wrong place, like حیات where you meant حیاط. It also catches verb agreement and common grammar errors, and hovering over a mark shows the fix.

The other actions work in your language too. A Rewrite of Persian text comes back in Persian, and Translate covers both Arabic and Farsi.

What you should know

The app's menus are in English. The text you work on can be Arabic or Persian, but the buttons and settings are not translated yet.

In a browser, the Edyt extension for Chrome handles right-to-left text as well.

Proofread as you type is free and does not use your actions. The pricing page has the details.

Write one message in Persian or Arabic with it turned on, and see what it finds.
