How do I transcribe an Arabic video?
To transcribe an Arabic video, upload the file or paste a link and Pepys pulls the audio, writes the speech out as a timestamped right-to-left transcript, and exports SRT or VTT subtitles – all in minutes. It tracks the move between Modern Standard Arabic and dialect (Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Maghrebi) and auto-detects Arabic. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

From a news bulletin in crisp fus-ha to a Cairo street vlog in pure ammiyya, Arabic video rarely sticks to one register – and a sermon, a panel, a drama clip, or a Gulf talk show will swing between standard Arabic and dialect within a single scene. Pepys pulls the audio out of the video, follows that register-switching across Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, and Maghrebi speech, and hands back an accurate, timestamped transcript written right-to-left in Arabic script – with SRT or VTT subtitles you load alongside the file.
Video makes the job harder before a single word is recognised: background music, applause, overlapping voices, and a script that runs right-to-left with the short vowels left off. Pepys is built for exactly that. Arabic is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your video.
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

Transcribe arabic video – questions, answered
How do I transcribe an Arabic video?
Upload the clip or paste a link – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys extracts the audio and returns a timestamped Arabic transcript plus subtitles in minutes.
Can I get Arabic subtitles from the video too?
Yes. Export the captions as a downloadable SRT or VTT sidecar file with timing that lines up to the picture – it loads alongside the video, not burned in.
Does dialect throw it off in video?
No. It handles Modern Standard Arabic and the spoken dialects – Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Maghrebi – even when speakers switch register on screen, and you can correct any line inline.
Which video formats work?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI and more, plus links. Pepys lifts the audio track and transcribes the speech.
Is my video private?
Yes. We never train on your video or transcripts, and you can auto-delete files once they are processed.
