# Arabic Video Transcription

Paste or upload your Arabic video and Cliphi transcribes it into clean Arabic-script text.

## How it works

1. **Paste a link or upload a file** Drop in a supported video link or upload a video or audio file. Cliphi pulls the audio for you.
2. **AI transcribes every word** Cliphi detects the language and transcribes the whole thing into clean, readable text, accents and all.
3. **Read it, or turn it into clips** Get the full transcript to read, copy, or search. If you want, let Cliphi cut captioned vertical clips in the same language.

## Why Cliphi

- **Right-to-left script, done right** Arabic is written right to left in its own script, and it drops short vowels. Cliphi handles both, so the text comes back clean rather than mangled.
- **MSA and the dialects** Modern Standard Arabic and dialects like Egyptian, Gulf, and Levantine can mix inside one video. Cliphi follows the shift between registers without breaking.
- **Detected automatically** You do not have to set the language. Cliphi detects it for you, including non-Latin scripts and the odd switch between languages mid-sentence.

## Arabic script, standard or dialect

Arabic spans Modern Standard Arabic and a wide range of dialects, from Egyptian to Gulf to Levantine, and it is written right to left in its own script. That is a lot for a transcriber to get right. Cliphi transcribes Arabic in its own script and handles the spread of dialects, so a formal talk or an Egyptian vlog both come back as clean Arabic text rather than a mangled guess.

## Put your Arabic video to use

A transcript is how an Arabic video gets subtitles for viewers watching on mute, show notes, a searchable record, or a written version for a wider audience. Cliphi detects the language for you, with the script handled correctly, so you just paste or upload.

And because Cliphi clips, the same Arabic video can become \[captioned vertical clips\]\(/tools/add-captions-to-video\) with Arabic captions, ready for \[TikTok\]\(/tools/youtube-to-tiktok\), \[Reels\]\(/tools/youtube-to-instagram-reels\), and Shorts, so the transcript and the shorts come from a single paste.

Arabic also drops short vowels in writing and mixes the formal standard with everyday dialect inside the same video, which is a lot for a transcriber to track. Cliphi handles the right-to-left script and the shift between registers, so the text reads naturally instead of breaking. Paste a short clip or a long recording, and the transcript comes back ready to subtitle, search, or quote for an Arabic-speaking audience.

## FAQ

### Can it follow a switch between standard Arabic and dialect?

Yes. Cliphi tracks the shift between Modern Standard Arabic and everyday dialect inside the same video, so the transcript reads naturally throughout.
