76,645,541 and counting. Growing the Arabic web one word at a time !

June 25th, 2009 by Habib in Smart Arabic Keyboard, Yamli

We decided today to run a little script to see how many words have been typed with Yamli so far, and the result was impressive: 76,645,541, that is roughly equivalent to 255,485 Wikipedia articles ! We are happy that the usage of Yamli has been growing but most importantly are happy to contribute in the expansion of the Arabic content online.

Today, Yamli’s Smart Arabic Keyboard powers a number of sites, such as As7ab and Clipat Maktoob, Ikbis, Annahar, Art-TV and about 200 more sites. Although our focus is on Arabic native speakers Yamli has also been used at some universities to help teach Arabic.

We thank our users again for the support and will continue in building products to empower the Arabic web.

    Hello guys,

    man this is a great webpage. Yamli changed my web behaviour :) I am since 13 years living outside Lebanon, and since I know Yamli I started typing Arabic on the internet. It is a great feeling getting back to the roots. I use yamli for facebook, blogs, emails, and for Microsoft-Worf (copy-paste) :)

    Please keep up the good work. And may suggest to make the Yamli Editor as a standalone application?

    Thanks and regards,
    J. T.

    Je voudrais confirmer l’usage quasi quotidien que je fais du site Yamli. C’est un outil franchement très utile et efficace. J’essaie de constituer un dictionnaire trilingue et j’avoue que yamli est ma référence dans le domaine arabophone. J’aimerais bien que votre blog puisse offrir – comme le fait si bien le site officiel- une version francophone. Merci par avance.
