Arabic transcription is underserved by mainstream tools: right-to-left script, regional dialects and sparse training data defeat casual efforts. Trustample transcribes Modern Standard Arabic and widely-spoken dialect audio into proper Arabic script.
Journalists, researchers and community organizations pair it with Pro translation — an Arabic interview becomes both an Arabic transcript and an English working translation from one upload.
Set the spoken language to Arabic before uploading — for Arabic more than most languages, explicit selection beats auto-detect, especially on dialect speech. Starting is free — 60 minutes monthly, 30-minute files, TXT export, nothing billed — which is the honest way to find out how your dialect and your microphone fare before committing to a batch of interviews.
How it works
- 1Set 'Spoken language' to Arabic under the upload box.

- 3Edit inline, export, and read the English translation on Pro.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which Arabic dialects work best?
Modern Standard Arabic (news, formal speech, lectures) transcribes best. Widely-spoken dialects like Egyptian and Levantine work reasonably; Gulf and Maghrebi dialects are more variable. Clear audio helps every dialect.
Is the output real right-to-left Arabic script?
Yes — proper Arabic text that pastes correctly into Word and websites. TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT all handle RTL correctly.
Can it transcribe Quranic recitation?
Recitation (tajwid) has elongations and melodic patterns that speech models mis-handle — published transcripts of recitation are a better source. Everyday speech is where Trustample helps.
Arabic mixed with English or French?
Common borrowed words survive; heavy sentence-level switching (common in North African speech) is genuinely hard. Choose the dominant language for best results.
Does the names-and-jargon vocabulary box work for Arabic?
Not currently — the model generation that supports Arabic doesn't accept our vocabulary boosting yet, so that box is ignored for Arabic uploads. Fix names inline in the editor instead; each correction is one click and carries into every export.
An honest note: Arabic accuracy varies by dialect more than most languages — expect strong results on formal speech and more inline corrections on informal dialect-heavy recordings.
