How it works

Drop the file or click to browse. MP3, M4A, MP4, WAV, MOV, WEBM, AAC, and FLAC up to 5 minutes and 25 MB are free.
We detect Arabic automatically
Automatic language detection recognizes that the audio is Arabic and transcribes it in Arabic — there's no language menu to set. Accuracy is strongest with clear Modern Standard Arabic.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Arabic dialects like Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine?
It performs best on clear Modern Standard Arabic (fusha) — the register of lectures, news, and formal speech. Dialect-influenced speech can still work, but heavily colloquial Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine audio reduces accuracy, so expect to edit those transcripts more. Clean recordings with one person speaking at a time help a lot.
Does the transcript come out in Arabic script?
Yes. The transcript is written in Arabic script, read right-to-left, just like standard written Arabic — not a romanized transliteration. Copies and downloads preserve the script.
Does the transcript include diacritics (tashkeel)?
Transcripts typically come out as standard unvocalized Arabic — without full tashkeel — the way most modern Arabic prose is written. Occasional diacritics may appear, but don't expect fully vocalized text.
Can it translate Arabic audio into English?
No — this tool transcribes, it doesn't translate. The transcript is in Arabic, matching what was said. If you need an English version, download the text and run it through any translation tool afterwards.
Is Arabic transcription free?
Yes — Arabic audio up to 5 minutes and 25 MB is free with no signup. The page itself is in English, but your audio and transcript are in Arabic. For longer files, AI summaries, and exports, create a free account.
Need more than 5 minutes?
A free account unlocks 25-minute files, AI summaries, and TXT, SRT, and VTT export — enough for a full lecture or a complete khutbah.
