How it works

How to add Arabic subtitles to a video

Add the video

Upload an Arabic lecture, interview or news clip as a video file, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link.

Choose Arabic

Open the language list and choose Arabic under All Languages. The Beta Languages group at the end of the list adds 18 more options, such as Arabic (Algeria) and Arabic (Bahrain). Unsure what language a file is in? Auto Detect (beta) also recognises Arabic.

Edit the captions

Open the subtitle editor to correct words, drag each caption's start and end on the timeline, and set the maximum lines and characters per line. With Arabic itself chosen, the captions run right to left.

Download or burn in

Download SRT, VTT or TXT files, or style the captions in the video editor and download the video with them burned in.

Questions

Common questions

How do I add Arabic subtitles to a video?

Upload the video or paste a link and choose Arabic as its language. When the transcript is ready, open the subtitle editor to fix words and timing, then download an SRT or VTT file, or style the captions in the video editor and download the video with them burned in.

Does Exemplary AI handle right-to-left Arabic?

Yes, when you choose Arabic itself. Arabic is on Exemplary AI's right-to-left list, so the transcript editor, the subtitle editor and the caption preview all run Arabic text from right to left. The Beta Languages options, such as Arabic (Algeria), are not on that list and show left to right, so choose Arabic itself for right-to-left text.

Can I turn subtitles in another language into Arabic?

Yes. Generate subtitles in the video's own language, then use Translate in the subtitle editor and pick Arabic, one of the 116 languages subtitles can be translated into.

Which Arabic options can I choose from?

Arabic, plus 18 more options in the Beta Languages group: Arabic (Algeria), Arabic (Bahrain), Arabic (Egypt), Arabic (Iraq), Arabic (Israel), Arabic (Jordan), Arabic (Kuwait), Arabic (Lebanon), Arabic (Libya), Arabic (Morocco), Arabic (Oman), Arabic (Palestine, State of), Arabic (Qatar), Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Arabic (Syrian Arab Republic), Arabic (Tunisia), Arabic (United Arab Emirates) and Arabic (Yemen).

Can I fix the timing of Arabic subtitles?

Yes. In the subtitle editor, drag a caption's edges on the timeline to change when it starts and ends, set the maximum lines and characters per line, or re-align the audio and text.
