Questions
Why do Arabic letters look separated in some apps?
Arabic letters change shape depending on their neighbours. Apps that don't shape text draw each letter on its own; EasyShoot shapes text correctly.
Can I mix Arabic and English in one note?
Yes. Set the direction for the line, and numbers and Latin words stay in the right order.
Does it support Hebrew?
Yes. Auto direction detects Hebrew as well as Arabic.
