The dialect AI platform for developers
Every dialect, understood.
Your users don’t type textbook Arabic. Linguini lets your app understand and answer them in their own dialect, in Arabizi, Arabic script, speech, or all three mixed with English and French. Starting with Lebanese.

Illustrative example · API in developer preview
One dialect, every form
Arabizi, Arabic script, speech. Same language.
People write Lebanese in Latin letters with numbers, in Arabic script, or mixed with English and French in the same sentence. Linguini reads all of it as one language, so you don’t have to.
- Arabizi and Arabic script, read as the same words
- Arabic, English and French in one sentence
- Text and audio, in and out
- Dialect memory, so answers stay in the user’s dialect
shu 3am ta3mel?
“What are you doing?”شو عم تعمل؟
Okay، بدّك ٣ تي شيرتات size medium
“Okay, you want 3 T-shirts, size medium.”Hear it
Real recordings, real dialect.
Two recordings from a voice assistant built on the engine, taking a shop order. Listen to it switch between Lebanese and English inside one sentence, the way people here talk.
Recording 1 · confirming an order
Okay، بدّك ٣ تي شيرتات size medium، بس عم لخّصلك طلبك وما رح أعمل طلبية.
“Okay, you want 3 T-shirts, size medium. I’m just summarising your order, I won’t place it yet.”
Recording 2 · checking before ordering
شفت إنّك بدّك ٣ تي شيرتات... المقاس medium، وما عملت أي طلبية.
“I see you want 3 T-shirts… size medium, and I haven’t placed any order.”
For developers
One call. Any form of the dialect.
Send what your users actually type or say. Get back the dialect, how it was written, the Arabic script and the meaning, ready for your app’s logic.
