Best for modern Persian prose. Poetry, difficult literature, and highly colloquial writing still need extra care.

What is Persian or Farsi diacritization?

Persian diacritization—also called vowelization, vocalization, harakat, tashkeel, or e'rab-gozari—adds missing pronunciation marks to Persian script. Persian normally leaves short vowels such as zabar, zir, and pish and many Ezafe connections unwritten. VowelMarks makes those sounds visible so a word you already understand in speech is easier to recognize on the page.

Persian vowel marks chosen in context

The same spelling can represent different Persian words or pronunciations. VowelMarks uses the surrounding sentence when choosing many short vowels, ambiguous-word readings, and Ezafe connections. It is built for Persian and Farsi rather than treating the text as Arabic.

Your original Persian stays intact

VowelMarks places marks on the original source characters instead of rewriting the sentence. Persian letters, punctuation, numbers, URLs, English words, and joining characters remain in place, so the marked result stays recognizable and copyable.

Every reading layer stays connected

Marked Persian, Farsi-to-Finglish/Pinglish pronunciation, speech, word origins, VowelMarks AI, and English translation are first-class views of the same passage. Open any view and move among them while the Persian remains at the center.

How do I add short vowels to Persian or Farsi text?

Paste Persian script into the tool and choose Read this. VowelMarks returns the same text with contextual reading marks added, so you can compare the marked result with the original sentence.

Which Persian pronunciation marks can VowelMarks show?

VowelMarks can add short-vowel marks such as zabar, zir, and pish, along with Ezafe, tashdid, and contextual cues for ambiguous spellings when the reading supports them.

Is Persian diacritization the same as Arabic tashkeel?

The scripts share several marks, but Persian pronunciation, vocabulary, Ezafe, and ambiguous word readings require Persian-specific context. VowelMarks is designed around Persian rather than applying Arabic pronunciation rules to Persian text.

How accurate is automatic Persian diacritization?

VowelMarks is strongest on modern Persian prose. Poetry, difficult literature, and highly colloquial writing are more challenging, so important or unusual passages should still be reviewed.
