Abstract

Latin-derived letters may be converted into Arabic letters by performing processing associated with causing, with a display module in communication with a processor circuit and a display, the display to display a wheel comprising a Latin-derived letter and a corresponding Arabic letter; performing processing associated with receiving, with a UI module in communication with the processor circuit and an input device, a selection of a Latin-derived letter via the input device; and performing processing associated with causing, with the display module, the display to display an Arabic letter corresponding to the Latin-derived letter in a window on the wheel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for converting Latin-derived letters into Arabic letters, comprising:
 a processor circuit;   a display;   an input device;   a display module in communication with the processor circuit and the display; and   a user interface (UI) module in communication with the processor circuit and the input device; wherein   the display module is configured to cause the display to display a wheel comprising a Latin-derived letter and a corresponding Arabic letter;   the UI module is configured to receive a selection of a Latin-derived letter via the input device; and   the display module is configured to cause the display to display an Arabic letter corresponding to the Latin-derived letter in a window on the wheel.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a letter is determined to be corresponding if the pronunciation of the Arabic letter corresponds to the pronunciation of the Latin-derived letter. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the wheel shows all Arabic letters corresponding to the Latin-derived letter. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein all versions of the Arabic letter are shown. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the versions comprise the version of the letter at the beginning, middle, or end of a word, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to cause the display to indicate when a letter may not connect to a letter on the left. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to cause the display to illustrate an example of the pronunciation of the Arabic letter. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to cause the display to illustrate how each letter is written. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the UI module is configured to receive a selection of a combination of Latin-derived letters; and   the display module is configured to cause the display to display an Arabic letter corresponding to the combination.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the Latin-derived letters comprise letters from Latin-derived alphabets. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the Latin-derived alphabets comprise the English alphabet. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the Latin-derived alphabets comprise: the English alphabet, the French alphabet, the Spanish alphabet, the Italian alphabet, the Catalan alphabet, the Portuguese alphabet, or the Romanian alphabet, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a speaker in communication with the processor circuit. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the speaker is configured to play a sound associated with the Arabic letter corresponding to the Latin-derived letter. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to cause an indication to be displayed when the received selection contains an error. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to display a guide comprising operating instructions, grammar rules, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         17 . A method for converting Latin-derived letters into Arabic letters, comprising:
 performing processing associated with causing, with a display module in communication with a processor circuit and a display, the display to display a wheel comprising a Latin-derived letter and a corresponding Arabic letter;   performing processing associated with receiving, with a UI module in communication with the processor circuit and an input device, a selection of a Latin-derived letter via the input device; and   performing processing associated with causing, with the display module, the display to display an Arabic letter corresponding to the Latin-derived letter in a window on the wheel.
