See more Miguel, I recommend Writing Arabic: A Practical Introduction to to the Ruq'ah Script by T. F. Mitchell. It is an excellent resource for learning good penmanship, and can help you become more accustomed to handwriting so it is a little easier to see the shapes in these kinds of documents written in a more natural style From the introduction: This little book is intended primarily to assist beginners. It is a curious fact that students of Arabic have in the past strangely neglected those elements of grammar without which there would be no grammar, viz. the letters. The infrequency with which one encounters European scholars having a knowledge of the Arabic script has often been observed, but we may go further and say that the number of those who write Arabic in an acceptable manner is remarkably small.

I am quite proud of my Arabic... See more Timothy, that book looks like a good investment.

I am quite proud of my Arabic handwriting, and didn't like a single bit to be unable to understand the Ruq'ah, but I now I feel like this can be a nice field to research, moreso since I am interested in optical character recognition. ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Help deciphering handwritten script Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
