Research you can inspect, examples you can question.
VowelMarks publishes these guides for people reading Persian. Because VowelMarks is also one of the tools discussed, product references are labeled and comparison methods are stated instead of hidden behind a score.
Claims point to named sources
Each guide explains which source supports which claim. Original teaching examples are identified, and links are there for verification, not as decoration or borrowed authority.
VowelMarks is accountable for every guide
VowelMarks researches and edits this library and takes responsibility for each guide's scope, wording, sources, and corrections.
Persian-language review is credited separately
Research and drafting may use software and AI assistance, but automated output is never called Persian-language review. A proficient Persian reviewer is credited by name on the guide when that review has been completed.
Corrections belong in the record
Persian varies by region, register, and speaker. Send a proposed correction with its sentence and variety to support@vowelmarks.com.
