Adeeb Online is the Urdu Adab Mobile App available in Google Play and Apple App Stores. We do proper digitization of Urdu Books in Nastaleeq Font and present them in a manner that gives the audience a very pleasurable reading experience. We take due permission from authors and publishers and make fruitful collaborations. By taking the annual premium subscription you can become a part of our efforts in promoting Urdu Adab through legitimate means, encouraging Urdu reading in the young generation, and protecting authors’ rights.
There is a strong perception that Urdu Adab is slowly dying and people, especially our new generation, is going away from reading Urdu books. To a large extent, this is true since there are no serious efforts from either government institutions or private organizations to promote Urdu through technology and reach the masses. The first and the most important task is to take Urdu to the digital screens in an attractive way that could encourage people of all ages to give it a try. The second step is to expand the platform and glamorize Urdu reading for the young generation. This could be achieved by advertising effectively on all forms of media and using influencers and popular authors to extend their support to this noble cause.
This is what we have been doing on this platform. We have developed a unique interface through research and development and have been able to digitize Urdu in a way that looks very attractive and easy to read. Another important point to be understood is the technique we are using. There is a big difference between scanning a book and digitizing it properly. Scanning might be efficient in other languages but it is merely a picture when Urdu text is scanned. We cannot call it digitization. At Adeeb Online, we digitize Urdu books in Unicode that is presented in Nastaleeq font in our App. This changes the whole paradigm. There are numerous benefits of proper digitization that we will keep introducing as we enhance our App.
Another very important aspect is how Urdu readers worldwide can support us and become a part of this transformation journey that will definitely bring a positive change in our society in the years to come. All we need from you is to download our App, see the quality of the App (keeping in mind that this is a very basic version to enable reading and more enhancements are already planned for the future), provide positive feedback, spread in your circle, and buy an annual subscription to support us. We have not yet implemented any Ads and we do not want to do that, but we need support to maintain and expand this platform in the form of subscriptions and feedback. We have plans to add more languages to our platform, introduce audiobooks alongside reading, and also work with federal and provincial boards to digitize syllabus books in order to make them widely accessible for our children. This could only be possible with your support.
You may also follow our social media pages at Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok for regular updates, or contact our customer service or contact center emails or WhatsApp nos. for further inquiries or technical support.
Remember, it is the reading culture that could save us and our coming generations from the flood of misinformation, disinformation, and 5th generation warfare.
