How do I generate Arabic subtitles?

Pepys builds Arabic subtitles for you: upload audio or video, or paste a link, and it transcribes the speech and exports timestamped SRT or VTT caption files – written in proper right-to-left Arabic script – in minutes. It captures both Modern Standard Arabic and dialect (Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Maghrebi) and auto-detects Arabic. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

How arabic subtitle generator works

01

Upload or paste a link

Add an Arabic recording or paste a link – any audio or video format works.

02

Auto-generate captions

Pepys cuts the Arabic speech into timestamped cues, written right-to-left.

03

Download SRT/VTT

Export a ready-to-load SRT or VTT file with timing and script intact.

Captioning Arabic is where right-to-left text really matters: a cue that should read from the right edge inward gets mangled by tools that quietly treat it as left-to-right, and Arabic numerals or a stray English word inside the line make it worse. Pepys lays each cue out the way Arabic is actually read, captures both the fus-ha of a documentary and the dialect of a vlog – Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Maghrebi – and exports clean SRT or VTT files your player or editor can load straight away.

Two things break generic captioning here: the constant switch between standard Arabic and dialect, and a connected, right-to-left script with the short vowels left off. Pepys handles both, keeps the line breaks sensible for reading speed, and lets you translate the captions into another language. Your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.

The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.

um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Arabic subtitle generator – questions, answered

How do I generate Arabic subtitles?

Upload Arabic audio or video, or paste a link – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys returns downloadable SRT/VTT captions, written right-to-left, in minutes.

SRT or VTT – which should I pick?

Both are available. SRT is supported almost everywhere; VTT is the web-native format. Export whichever your platform expects.

Are the captions burned into the video?

No. You get a downloadable sidecar file (.srt or .vtt) that you load alongside the video – the picture itself is untouched, so you can edit or restyle the captions later.

Does it render Arabic script and direction correctly?

Yes. Each cue is laid out right-to-left the way Arabic reads, handling connected letters and mixed Arabic/Latin words that many tools flip or break, and you can edit any cue inline.
