Translate a Arabic video into English subtitles
A Arabic video with no English subtitles only reaches people who already speak Arabic. This takes the file and returns an English subtitle track timed to the speech.
You get an SRT you can edit, or a copy of the video with the line already burned in.

What happens to your video
- Upload the file or paste a public link. Phone footage (HEVC/MOV) is read as it comes off the phone.
- The audio is transcribed first, with word-level timing, so every cue starts where speech starts.
- Each line is translated on its own. Timecodes are copied through and never rewritten.
- Download the SRT, or a copy of the video with the subtitles burned in at the original resolution.
Notes on the audio
- Arabic runs right to left, and mixing Latin text or numbers into a cue moves punctuation to the wrong end of the line.
- Modern Standard Arabic and the regional dialect differ enough that a single video often contains both.
- Right-aligned Arabic reads more naturally, but most players default to centred or left-aligned cues.

Questions
Does it need subtitles to already exist?
No. It listens to the audio and builds the English lines from scratch, so a Arabic video with no captions works the same way.
Will the English lines land in the right place?
Yes. The timing is derived from the Arabic audio before any translation happens, so the cues do not shift afterwards.
Can I edit the result?
Yes. The SRT is plain text; open it in any editor and fix names or terms by hand.
