Darija is not written down the way it is spoken

Moroccan Darija has no single standard spelling. The same word can be written in Arabic script or in Latin letters, and many creators switch between the two. That is why a Darija subtitle tool needs to handle both Arabic script and Arabizi.

Everyday words are a good test. "Wakha" (okay), "safi" (enough, done) and "bzaf" (a lot) are written in Arabic script as واخا، صافي and بزاف. In Arabizi the same words appear as wakha, safi and bzaf, and some creators write them with numbers such as 3 for ع and 7 for ح.

Subtitles for how Moroccans actually talk

Moroccan speech regularly moves between Darija, French and sometimes English inside one sentence. ArabCap detects that mixing and keeps the French and English words as they were spoken, so the subtitle matches what the viewer hears.

  • Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube videos from Moroccan creators

  • Ads and brand videos for Moroccan audiences
  • Training and corporate video with French technical terms

Arabic script or Arabizi: pick per video

Choose Arabic script for a clean, readable subtitle track. Choose Arabizi when your audience reads Latin-letter Darija, for example on social video aimed at younger viewers. Either way you can export SRT or VTT and import it into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or CapCut.
