Arabic Auto Captions for Video
ArabCap is an AI caption generator for Arabic video. Upload a clip in Darija, Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic, get captions timed to the speech, split them down to one word per caption for Reels and TikTok, and export an SRT for CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
How to add Arabic captions to a video
- Upload your video or audio: MP4, MOV or MP3, up to 2 minutes.
- Choose Arabic script or Arabizi for the captions.
- ArabCap writes the captions and times each one to the speech.
- Choose how captions are split, by words or by characters, down to one word per caption.
- Export for your editor, style the captions there and export the video with them burned in.
Captions sized for short-form video
Reels, TikTok and Shorts usually show one to three words at a time in large type. Long subtitle lines that work on YouTube are hard to read on a phone. In ArabCap you set the length of each caption before you export, by number of words or characters, and can turn on silence-aware and punctuation-aware splitting so a caption never runs across a pause or the end of a sentence.
Set it to one word for word-by-word captions. The timing comes from the speech, so each word appears when it is said.
Choose how French and English words appear
Arabic creators mix in French and English all the time. Pick one consistent style for those words across the whole video:
- Kept in their original Latin letters, as spoken.
- Written in Arabic script, so the whole line reads right to left.
- Translated, so the caption is entirely in one language.
Why built-in auto captions often miss Arabic dialect
Auto captions in editing and social apps are mostly built for widely written languages and for Modern Standard Arabic. Dialect vocabulary, slang, names and mixed French or English are where they tend to drop or misspell words. ArabCap is trained for exactly that speech, so you spend less time fixing captions line by line.
