Accuracy & Limitations

Accuracy & Limitations

We aim for correct, transparent calculations. This page explains what our tools can and cannot tell you.

What the tools do well

  • Sum letter values accurately for Arabic, Urdu and Persian text using standard tables.
  • Show a full letter-by-letter breakdown so you can verify every result.
  • Support multiple systems (Kabir, Maghribi) and reductions such as the digital root.

Things that change a result

  • Spelling: different spellings of the same name give different values. Always check the exact letters used.
  • System: Kabir and Maghribi assign different values to six letters, so totals can differ.
  • Diacritics: harakat are ignored by default; enabling or disabling them can change how input is read.
  • Transliteration: converting an English or romanised name to Arabic script involves choices that affect the value.

Known limitations

  • Some regional or historical methods are documented but not universally agreed; we flag these as awaiting a cited source.
  • A numerical value is not a statement about a person, outcome, or future event.
