Script and dialects

Arabic output, written the right way

Output is in Arabic script, right-to-left. Modern Standard Arabic (the language of news and formal speech) transcribes best. Regional dialects like Egyptian, Levantine, and Gulf are harder and accuracy varies. Arabic is the most demanding of our top languages.
