Why most tools get Urdu wrong
Urdu letters change shape depending on what sits beside them, and the line reads from the right. Many tools sidestep all of this by taking a picture of the page and calling it a PDF. It looks passable until you try to select a word, search the file, or read it on a screen reader — and then there is nothing there, because it is a photograph.
This tool does the real work instead: the letters are shaped, the line is ordered, and every word is stored as a word.
Urdu and English on one line
Mixing scripts is where things usually fall apart. An English phrase inside an Urdu sentence has to sit in the right place without the Urdu around it flipping. That case is handled, and it is tested.
The typeface
The text is set in Amiri, a naskh face. Nastaliq — the sloping style Urdu readers know best — is not offered yet, because doing it properly is a much harder problem and a bad Nastaliq is worse than none.
