About this app

MobileJawi 2.0 is a brand new version of the custom keyboard app that includes a super easy Malay, English, Arabic and Jawi keyboards.

With these keyboards, you can type directly into any app. There is no need to cut-and-paste!

With the Rumi -> Jawi keyboard, you type the text with the standard qwerty keyboard used for English and Malay. MobileJawi includes an engine that will transliterate the Malay words from Rumi to Jawi as you are typing.

For example, to get ساي in Jawi, you just type saya in Rumi. You can type Jawi text like a pro, even if you are not a Jawi pro!

MobileJawi predicts the word you are trying to type and presents a list of suggested words. These words are shown in both Jawi and Rumi letters so you can cross check and be comfortable that you are indeed getting the word you want. It also auto-corrects the word before transliterating. Touching any of the suggested words will insert only the word spelt in Jawi into the text.

Once a word is selected from the suggestions and inserted into the text, MobileJawi will then present a list of possible words as the next word. These words will also be shown in Jawi and Rumi. You can select the correct word from the Rumi spelling, even if you can't read Jawi.

MobileJawi handles the common short-cuts used in Malay. For example, when you type jln, MobileJawi will expand jln into jalan and then provide the Jawi spelling for this word in the suggestions list.

For words that MobileJawi can not transliterate, like words from other languages, you can get the Jawi letters by long-pressing the keys or simply switch to the Jawi keyboard and type the word directly in Jawi. Even there, MobileJawi shows the Rumi spelling of the word spelt in Jawi!

Prediction is available in all languages supported by MobileJawi: Bahasa (Rumi and Jawi), English and Arabic.

With MobileJawi, you will never be lost!

Ratings and reviews

By far the best Jawi app I've ever used; not only can I type Jawi through Rumi very much like typing Chinese through Romanisation, I can also type in Jawi straight! All Jawi letters are in the correct configuration, aka ک ى ئ ڤ ڽ etc, I can type both Jawi and Arabic in one go. Best of all, I can easily switch back to Gboard whenever I'm done with Jawi, other apps either have this function but some letters aren't for Jawi or correct letters but can't switch back as easily. I highly recommend it.

Hi, it's me again. I accidentally deleted my original review. In the review I mentioned that the "Rumi->Jawi" feature did not work to change Rumi texts to Jawi when I typed. Edit: I wonder how to send a screenshot or video recording on PlayStore. The review section doesn't provide a feature to share pictures or videos. May I know if I can contact you in a different platform to send images or video recordings for you to check the problem? Otherwise I don't mind searching for another app.

Very good app. The rumi to jawi function is absolutly amazing for learning the script. It has any imput method you could want including pure Jawi or Arabic. It looked as if there were missing letters on the Jawi imput keyboard, but they appear if you press and hold shift. So there is no issue. Very good app, will recomend .
