Why Tifaftir

Somali deserves better writing tools.

About 24 million people speak Somali, yet almost no one has a tool to check what they write. Tifaftir is built by Sahan Solutions for standard Af-Soomaali.

01

Errors in print

Books, school materials and official documents are published with mistakes.

02

Old tools

Existing spell checkers are unmaintained word lists, with no grammar checks.

03

No single standard

General AI writes Somali, but doesn’t follow one standard or explain the rules.

04

Slow proofreading

Checking by hand takes weeks, and trained Somali editors are few.

How it works

Three steps. A few seconds.

No editor to wait for and no appointment to book.

1

Paste or upload

Type, paste a post, or upload a Word file, from one sentence to a full book.

2

See every correction

Each error is marked with the fix and a short explanation of the rule, in Somali.

3

Accept and download

Accept one fix or all of them, then copy your text or download the corrected file.

What we check

Built for the rules of Af-Soomaali.

Every rule follows a written style guide reviewed by Somali linguists.
