Does Transcribsi transcribe Arabic?
No. Our engine reads 99+ languages only. A right-to-left file would come back in the wrong language, and we would rather tell you here.

In short
Right-to-left text and left-to-right numbers: an Arabic transcript has to get both directions right, and no pricing page we read names Arabic for transcription. The engine behind this site reads 99+ languages, and no other language. Rev gives 37+ languages on its Pro plan.
The case
Why an Arabic transcript has two directions
Arabic is written from the right, and the digits inside a sentence are read from the left — a small detail that breaks a subtitle track in one line and a document in the next. The vowels are usually left out, so one word can be read more than one way, and the marks that settle it appear only in careful writing.
The market for Arabic, counted to the last claim
| What | Value |

| What it costs there | Rev Pro is $47.99 a place a month for 37+ languages; our own Pro plan is $10 a month paid yearly |
How to transcribe Arabic without losing the direction
- 1
Check the direction of the export
Open the transcript where it will be used. The paragraph must run right, and a number inside it must not come out reversed.
- 2
Ask about the dialect
Formal Arabic and the everyday dialects are far enough apart to be a different job. A service that names the language rarely says which one it was tuned for.
- 3
Look for the missing vowels
Ordinary Arabic text leaves the short vowels out. If you need them, ask for them: most services will not add what was never spoken.
- 4
Test with a spoken number
A phone number, a date and a price in one minute tell you whether the digits and the direction both survived the round trip.
Tips
Open the export where it will be shown.
Numbers are the fastest check.
Say which dialect you need.
Leave the short vowels out.
Questions this page answers
Which services name Arabic?
None of the pricing pages we read on 22 October 2026. Fathom says it translates summaries into Arabic — a different job from transcribing a recording.
Do I need the vowel marks?
Only where the text has to be unambiguous. Everyday Arabic is written without them, so a transcript that adds them will not match the words as they were spoken.
What are the file limits?
One file is up to 30 minutes, and no 30 minutes on the free plan. The free plan is $0, 3 files a day. Those are our limits, for 99+ languages files.
