WHAT’S NEW

New in Write Urdu

A simple history of features and improvements you can actually use. Each update explains what changed, why it helps and the quickest way to try it.

Faster, more reliable exports

PDF export works again, and you can now export as SVG

What changed

PDF export was failing for some users on the home page, Rich Editor and Invoice Generator; that is now fixed. PDF files are also smaller, and the “Generated with Write Urdu” credit now stays pinned to the bottom of every page instead of floating after short text. Word, PDF, PNG and a new SVG option are shown as clear, colour-coded icons at the top level of the export menu in both the Basic Writer and the Rich Editor, instead of hidden behind an extra click.

Why it helps

You can export your Urdu writing with confidence, get a lighter file to send or upload, and pick the right format at a glance — including SVG when you need crisp, scalable artwork.

How to use it

  1. Finish writing or formatting your document.
  2. Choose Word, PDF, PNG or SVG from the export row.
  3. Your file downloads directly — no extra menu to open first.

Try exporting from the Rich Editor

Easier to find what you need

Two small fixes to instructions that were too easy to miss

See the English-to-Urdu typing hint again

The short instruction explaining “type English letters, then press Space to get Urdu” was accidentally hidden on the home page, Rich Editor and Urdu Keyboard. It is now visible, and the Continue with… next-step panel appears right below the editor instead of further down the page.

Understand what Publish & Share does in Card Studio

The export panel now explains that Publish & Share creates a public link you can post to WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook — not just a local download — and suggests it right after you download an image.

Open Card Studio →
How to use these fixes: No action needed — both instructions now simply appear where you'd expect them, on your next visit.
Practise and measure your Urdu typing

A new Urdu Typing Practice and speed test

What changed

Write Urdu now has a dedicated Urdu Typing Practice tool that times you typing real Urdu passages using English-letter input, then reports your words-per-minute and accuracy.

Why it helps

You can see how fast and accurate your Urdu typing really is, warm up before serious writing, and track improvement over repeated attempts.

How to use it

  1. Open Urdu Typing Practice.
  2. Type the shown passage using English letters as usual.
  3. Check your speed and accuracy when the passage finishes, then try again.

What changed

The Write, Create, Tools and Learn menus at the top of the site now open into a panel with a short preview of what that group is for, alongside the full list of pages.

A clearer look, and clearer wording

What changed

Write Urdu has a new logo mark and a properly rendered browser-tab icon. The home page, Urdu Keyboard and typing tutorial now lead with the plain phrase English to Urdu typing in their titles and descriptions.

Why it helps

The brand is easier to recognise in a browser tab or bookmark list, and the wording now matches how people actually search for and describe this task.

Start writing without scrolling

The writer is now front and centre on phones

Share your writing with real readers

Publish your Urdu writing to Urdu Writers for others to read

What changed

Write Urdu now has Urdu Writers, a public reading space for Urdu writing submitted by the community. You can submit your own writing for review from the Basic Writer and Rich Editor using a redesigned publish dialog, which now converts a Roman-Urdu title into Urdu script for you.

Why it helps

You can share your Urdu writing with real readers beyond a private link, and browse what other people have written. Every submission is reviewed before it appears publicly.

How to use it

  1. Write your piece in the Basic Writer or Rich Editor.
  2. Choose Publish to Urdu Writers, add a title and tags, then submit.
  3. Once approved, read it — and other writers' work — on Urdu Writers.

Get your microphone working again

Clear steps to fix a blocked microphone on your phone

What changed

How to use it

  1. If the microphone doesn't start, look for the recovery steps shown on the page.
  2. Follow the steps for your phone and browser.
  3. Reload the page and try Start voice typing again.

What changed

Write Urdu now includes 12 editable writing templates for common tasks such as leave applications, job letters, complaints, notices, payment reminders and invitations. The writing-template experience is available in both English and Urdu.

  3. Replace the sample details, then continue editing or formatting in Write Urdu.

Use Write Urdu in Urdu

Key Write Urdu pages are now available fully in Urdu

What changed

Write Urdu now has an Urdu-language experience for the main writer, Urdu Keyboard, Rich Editor, Voice Typing, Urdu Alphabet, FAQ, Card Studio and the Urdu-on-photo guide. These pages include Urdu instructions, controls and supporting content rather than only changing the page heading.

Why it helps

If you prefer Urdu for menus and instructions, you can now complete the main writing and creation tasks without having to follow an English interface.

How to use it

  1. Open the Urdu version of Write Urdu.
  2. Use the language control to move between English and Urdu where a matching page is available.
  3. Keep writing, formatting or creating in the language that is easier for you.

Keep writing for later

Save writing to My Documents and continue on another device

What changed

Optional accounts can now save writing from the Basic Writer, Rich Editor and Urdu Keyboard. My Documents lets you open, rename, make a copy, create a share link or delete saved documents. Voice Typing can also save a transcript copy to My Documents after you sign in.

Why it helps

You can return to important writing later or continue it on another device. Normal Urdu typing and public share links still work without an account, so signing in remains optional.

How to use it

  1. Create or sign in to a free account when you want cross-device saving.
  2. Choose Save to my account from a supported editor.
  3. Open My Documents to continue, copy, rename, share or delete the saved document.

Clearer English to Urdu typing

The main typing page now uses simpler words

The page now describes the job in the same simple words people use when looking for Urdu typing: type Urdu words with familiar English letters and get Urdu script.

How to use it

  1. Open the main Write Urdu page.
  2. Type an Urdu word using English letters, for example mera.
  3. Press Space to turn the completed word into Urdu script.

Share writing as a real Write Urdu link

You can publish Urdu writing to a short share link

What’s new

The Basic Writer now has a clear Share action. After you confirm publication, Write Urdu creates a short write-urdu.com/s/… link with a visual preview instead of making you send only raw text.

Why it helps

Friends or readers can open a clean page, see the Urdu writing first, then choose to use the text, make their own design or create a QR code for the shared link.

How to use it

  1. Write your Urdu in the Basic Writer.
  2. Choose Share, then Publish & get short link.
  3. Copy or share the new link. You can also delete links you created from the same browser.

See the sharing guide

Less copying and pasting between tools

Your Urdu can continue into the next tool

What changed

After you have useful text, Write Urdu now shows a small Continue with… area with relevant next steps. Depending on the page, you can continue into the Rich Editor, Card Studio, QR Generator, Text Cleaner or another suitable workspace.

Why it helps

You no longer need to remember which tool comes next or repeatedly copy and paste your writing. The current work is carried locally between supported Write Urdu pages.

How to use it

  1. Write, clean, speak or extract some Urdu text.
  2. Look for Continue with… after the result.
  3. Choose the next task, such as formatting a document or creating a card.
