Drop in a Arabic recording and read the transcript minutes later — speaker labels, clickable timestamps and five export formats.
Yes — WhoScribe transcribes Arabic audio to text in the browser. Upload a file or paste a link and the transcript is ready in minutes, with speaker labels and clickable timestamps. Your first file needs no account, and every file shows its first 15 minutes free. Arabic is one of 100 languages recognised.
The language selector is already set to Arabic, so the model knows what it is listening for instead of guessing from the first few seconds. That matters most on short files, on recordings that open with music or silence, and whenever a second language turns up mid-sentence.
Arabic is written in the Arabic script, and the transcript comes back in that script rather than romanised.
Arabic reads right to left. That direction is kept in the transcript and in the SRT and VTT subtitle files.
The Arabic script is also used by Persian, Pashto, Sindhi & Urdu, which you can transcribe the same way.
How it works
Audio or video of any length; the free plan transcribes the first 15 minutes of each file. MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, MOV and a dozen more.
Leave the language on automatic or set it for better accuracy. Turn on speaker recognition if you need to know who said what.
The transcript opens with clickable timestamps — read it and fix a name straight away. A free account keeps it and exports it as TXT; DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT come with the unlimited plan.
FAQ
A clear Arabic recording comes out close to word-perfect. Accuracy drops with heavy background noise, strong regional accents and people talking over each other — the same things that make a recording hard for a person to follow.
Yes. Turn on speaker recognition and each line is tagged with its speaker, which is what makes Arabic interviews and meetings readable. You can rename the speakers in the editor afterwards.
Yes. Transcribe in Arabic first, then translate the finished transcript without uploading the file again. Timestamps and speaker labels survive the translation.
It comes back in Arabic — the script Arabic is normally written in — not romanised. You can edit the text, search inside it and export it while keeping that script.
Yes. Arabic reads right to left and the transcript keeps that direction, including in the SRT and VTT subtitle files you export.
Yes. Persian, Pashto, Sindhi, Urdu use the same Arabic script and work exactly the same way — upload the file and pick the language.
