Arabic Subtitle Generator

• An Arabic subtitle generator with no language picker

  Upload a video and speech recognition detects Arabic on its own, the same way the add subtitles tool does for every language. There is no upfront menu to get wrong. If a clip mixes languages and detection lands somewhere unexpected, a From-language override lets you correct it after transcription.

• Fully shaped right-to-left rendering

  Arabic letters change shape depending on where they sit in a word. EchoWave's caption engine joins them correctly, flows lines right to left, and keeps punctuation on the correct side. Because subtitles are burned in on export, viewers see exactly what you styled on every player and every platform.

• Word-level timing and karaoke styles

  Every cue carries word-level timestamps, so karaoke presets with active-word fill work in Arabic too. Pick from 176 named styles, including the hormozi and Beast Mode looks popular with short-form creators, then recolor or emphasize individual words by hand.

• Translate between Arabic and 85 other languages

  Arabic is a verified entry in EchoWave's 86-language subtitle translator, a Pro feature. Turn an English video into Arabic captions for Gulf and North African audiences, or carry Arabic speech abroad with English, French, Indonesian or Urdu subtitles. Translation changes the subtitle text only, never the audio.

• Dual Arabic and English subtitles

  Show the original line and its translation on screen at the same time with bilingual subtitles. Creators in the Gulf and the diaspora use this for audiences that read both languages, and teachers use it to keep learners anchored to both scripts.

• Edit every cue by hand

  Click any line to fix a name, a dialect spelling, or the timing. Split long cues, merge short ones, and add tashkeel where the content calls for it, since automatic transcripts arrive undiacritized like most written Arabic. Everything sits on the same timeline as your video.

• Free burn-in, SRT, VTT, TXT and JSON on paid plans

  Burn your Arabic subtitles straight into the video for free, or download them as UTF-8 files that players read correctly on a paid plan. You can also import an existing SRT or VTT file and restyle it with the same controls as our add subtitles tool.

• Bring your own Arabic fonts

  Upload a Naskh face for readable body captions or a Kufi for bold titles through the brand kit, and it appears in the style picker next to the built-in fonts. Save brand colors too, so every video from your channel or company looks consistent.

1. 1

   Upload your video

   Drag in MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or any of the 20 accepted video formats. You can also record screen, webcam or voice directly with the built-in recorder studio and caption that instead.

2. 2

   Generate captions with one click

   Open the subtitles panel and click generate. The AI detects that the audio is Arabic, transcribes the speech, and lays word-timed cues along the timeline under your video.

3. 3

   Review, style and translate

   Skim the cues, correct dialect words or names, then apply one of 176 caption presets. With Pro, add a translation here if you want Arabic plus English on screen, or swap the subtitle language entirely.

4. 4

   Export or download the file

   Burn the subtitles into an MP4, or download SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON for use anywhere else on a paid plan. Free exports are HD 720p with a small removable badge and a short end card.

• Short-form clips for MENA feeds

  Most short-form video gets watched on mute, and TikTok, Reels and Shorts audiences across the Gulf and North Africa are enormous. Karaoke captions keep silent scrollers reading to the last second.

• Localizing English content for Arabic viewers

  Over 400 million people speak Arabic, and most global creators never caption for them. Translate your English subtitles into Arabic and open your back catalog to viewers from Casablanca to Muscat.

• Podcasts and interviews

  Transcribe an Arabic conversation, cut clips from the strongest moments, and caption them for promotion. Word-level timing means quotes highlight word by word as guests speak.

• Courses, lectures and sermons

  Teachers and lecturers caption recorded lessons so students can follow along and rewatch. Add tashkeel to cues when precise vowels matter, as in poetry, grammar lessons or recitation.

• Marketing for Gulf and North African markets

  Agencies caption product videos and ads in Arabic with brand fonts and colors saved to a kit. On a paid plan, download an SRT for platforms that accept sidecar files, or burn captions in for placements that do not.

• Bilingual channels and language learners

  Run Arabic and English on screen together for diaspora audiences who read both. Learners get the original line and its translation in a single glance.
