Naqsh — Demo video

Naqsh (نقش) localizes a page into Arabic and gives it back as editable layers. Upload a comic page, poster or menu: Muse Spark reads the lettering and translates it into natural Arabic (Egyptian colloquial or Modern Standard), SAM 3.1 turns each text region into a pixel mask, and Muse Image repaints the plate where the lettering was. The Arabic is typeset right-to-left with HarfBuzz and fitted to the real bubble shape, not a guessed box. The layer editor then gives you every text region, plus scenery and speech-bubble layers on request, to rename, reorder, hide, move, resize, recolour or re-translate. Export: a layered SVG with real text elements, an outlined SVG, a PNG, or a ZIP with the fonts. It exists because Arabic creators still mask, repaint and re-letter by hand. A comic page costs about $0.03.
