How to get a YouTube transcript in Arabic

  1. 1

    Copy the video link

    Any YouTube video, Short, or finished livestream, in Arabic or any other language.

  2. 2

    Paste it above

    If the video has Arabic captions you get them as they are. If not, the transcript is translated into Arabic automatically.

  3. 3

    Copy, compare, or download

    Turn on Show original to see each line next to its source, then copy the text or download a Arabic TXT or SRT file.

Arabic captions or a Arabic translation

Arabic auto-captions read right to left and usually follow Modern Standard Arabic, so dialect-heavy videos can be less accurate. When a video has no Arabic track, the tool machine-translates the transcript, which is accurate enough to follow along, study, or search. For publishing, have a Arabic speaker review it.

Learn Arabic with YouTube

Read a video's Arabic captions with your own language underneath, click any line to replay it, and download the bilingual transcript to study offline. Pick videos with creator-uploaded captions for the most accurate text.

Common questions

How do I get a Arabic transcript of a YouTube video?

Paste the link above. The tool uses the video's Arabic captions when it has them and translates the transcript into Arabic when it doesn't.

Can I translate an English video into Arabic?

Yes. Any video's transcript can be translated into Arabic. Turn on Show original to read both languages line by line, and download them together as a bilingual SRT or TXT.

Can I download Arabic subtitles?

Yes. After the transcript loads, click SRT or VTT for a Arabic subtitle file with the original timings.

Are Arabic auto-captions accurate?

Arabic auto-captions read right to left and usually follow Modern Standard Arabic, so dialect-heavy videos can be less accurate. Clear speech with little background noise gives the best results.

Is it free?

Yes. A few videos a day need no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.
