Arabic Diacritization: Add Tashkeel and Review It

Give tashkeel enough context

Submit a complete sentence or short paragraph instead of a disconnected word. Identify the intended meaning and register. A name, abbreviation or specialist term may need separate checking. If the text is a quotation, keep a copy of its source so you can distinguish an editorial choice from the original wording.

Review Arabic diacritization in two passes

First check the word itself: consonants, internal vowels, shadda and sukun. Then check its role in the sentence and any case ending. A correctly formed word can still have the wrong ending for its grammatical position. Reading aloud helps, but it does not replace syntactic analysis.

• Resolve the intended meaning before adding vowels.
• Check verbs and their subjects together.
• Review noun and adjective agreement.
• Distinguish a pause in speech from the written grammatical ending.

Work through an ambiguous example

The unvocalized word علم can represent different words or verb forms. In “العلم نور,” the intended noun is clear from the sentence: الْعِلْمُ نُورٌ. In another context, a reading related to knowing or teaching may be appropriate. The context, not the spelling alone, determines the answer.

Use the Arabic suite and keep an editorial check

In Humanizily, open the Arabic tashkeel tool, submit the passage and review its output beside the original. Use sentence parsing when an ending is unclear and morphology when the word form is unclear. Automatic marks are suggestions; for a teaching handout or publication, have the final passage reviewed by a qualified Arabic editor.
