Khatt review
Free offline Arabic handwriting practice with detailed letter feedback.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Khatt is a mobile app for learners who want to practice writing Arabic, especially beginners working on letter formation. Its short interactive lessons move from tracing letters to recognizing and copying them, then writing from memory. The app provides feedback on shape, stroke direction and order, dots, and proportions, and includes instruction in Ruqah and Naskh scripts. It is a focused writing tool rather than an all-around Arabic course: learners seeking spoken-language instruction should look elsewhere.
Offline access is central to Khatt’s fit. The app works fully offline, so learners can practice without a connection, and spaced repetition supports review of letters. Exercises also cover Arabic words and vowel marks, with short hadith calligraphy practice. Arabic letter names and words can be read aloud using the device’s Arabic text-to-speech voice when one is installed. That audio is a reading aid, not a substitute for speaking practice.
Khatt is described as free for Android and iOS. Its progress tools include an alphabet chart, mastery map, streaks, and activity chart, giving learners ways to follow practice over time. School subscriptions are available by contacting the vendor, while public pricing for those subscriptions is not stated. Choose Khatt if offline handwriting practice and detailed letter feedback are your priorities; choose a broader language-learning app if you need spoken Arabic lessons or wider language skills.
