Arabic Audio to Text

Around 400 million people speak Arabic, but almost no one speaks it the way it is written. People reach for Modern Standard Arabic – fus-ha – in a lecture or a news segment, then slip straight into their own dialect the moment the conversation turns casual: Egyptian in a Cairo podcast, Khaleeji in a Gulf board meeting, Shami across the Levant, Darija in the Maghreb. This work of writing speech down even has its own name in Arabic – tafreegh (تفريغ). Pepys follows that switch instead of forcing every speaker into textbook Arabic, so an interview, a khutba, a voice note, or a two-host show comes back as text you can search, quote, and translate.

The part that defeats most tools is twofold. Arabic is written right-to-left in a connected script where the short vowels are usually left off the page, so the model has to recover meaning the orthography never spells out – and the same word can be standard one second and pure street the next. Pepys is built for both. Arabic is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.
