Arabic Text

Hello! Many thanks for your efforts!

I noticed the dataset includes the phonetic and orthographic transcript, but not the actual Arabic text. Is the actual Arabic transcript available somewhere? If not, is there a way or tool to convert the phonetic or orthographic transcript into actual Arabic? Thanks!

The orthographic text is written in the Buckwalter format which could be converted back to Arabic.

There are a number of libraries/scripts online that can do that for example this one by Hayder Kharrufa which I've tested and works well:

Many thanks! I highly appreciate your response.
