01 / First pass
Turn Arabic speech into a draft you can edit
Upload a video spoken in Arabic and select Arabic. AIVideoCaption makes timed text from the speech, which you can review before downloading an SRT file or captioned MP4. This is transcription, not translation from English into Arabic.
For a lesson, interview or social clip, start by listening to one complete sentence while reading the draft. Correct a missed name or number before adjusting any visual style. A noisy recording or speakers talking over one another needs a closer human pass.
02 / Script and layout
Read the right-to-left line in its final position
Arabic letters join and the line runs from right to left. Mixed Latin brand names and numbers can make punctuation look surprising if you only inspect an editor field. Preview the complete cue on a phone-sized frame and inspect a rendered export before sharing.

خطوة بخطوة.
The W3C guide to right-to-left text explains why direction must be handled explicitly. For captions, the practical check is simple: read the exported line as your audience will see it.
03 / Human review
Do not flatten a local voice into a generic phrase
Arabic speech varies by region and setting. If a creator uses a familiar local word, keep the wording that was actually spoken. Review proper names, place names, dates and prices against the audio or a written reference. Do not assume a single automatic draft will be equally reliable for every dialect.

04 / Publishing
SRT for a subtitle track; MP4 for visible captions
An SRT keeps the Arabic text and timing separate so a platform or editor can display a subtitle track. The SRT guide explains how to review and move that file. An MP4 keeps the styled captions in the video; inspect its rendered Arabic text and placement before posting.

06 / Questions
Arabic subtitle questions
Can this translate an English video into Arabic?
No. Select Arabic for Arabic speech in the source video. This workflow transcribes rather than translates.

Arabic text is right to left. Review mixed names, punctuation and the rendered caption before you publish.
Can I download an Arabic SRT?
Yes. You can export timed SRT text or a captioned MP4 within your plan limits.
