Google have a very interesting new tashkeel tool, we should try it out.

This tool adds missing diacritics to Arabic text. Diacritic symbols are
crucial to identify how words are pronounced and to disambiguate their
meanings. Arabic (along with some other languages) uses diacritic
symbols to specify short vowels. In wiriting, those symbols are usually
omitted, since the native speakers can usually guess from the context
the meaning and pronunciation. Adding diacritics is an important
pre-step to several text processing
