Hello there,
Is there any sort of program, app, or CAT tool that would help with reviewing the grammar, sentence structure, and spelling of the Arabic language? Something similar to Grammarly that supports only the English language. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

You will be disappointed. Knowledge investments in the Arab region are substandard, so far.

The below service was presented in a different thread, but it's "lousy" to be merciful enough in describing it.

https://tadqeek.alsharekh.org/

Use the following extremely-easy example to see how it trips that service:

هذا الشجرة يحمل أعلاه طيور زهاء الألوان

Arabic Language Tool May 5, 2021

Hi,
I have checked the /languagetool.org/ and have found out it is not reliable. It identifies rudimentary issues such as punctuation and word space but is unable to tackle more elaborate aspects. I wouldn't recommend it for Arabic.

Thank you so much! It's a helpful resource but not that accurate.

Hi there,

Try using SmartCat, it's a cloud-based CAT tool that has many Arabic dialects (KSA, UAE, etc.). Very useful for reviewing grammar and spelling but not for sentence structure.

Free and open source CAT tools as Wordfast Anywhere or OmegaT?
