How to add Arabic subtitles to a video

To add Arabic subtitles to a video, first create an SRT file from its Arabic audio track, review the result, and then import it into the media player or video editor you use.

The steps

  1. Create an SRT. Drop your video on the home page. The first 5 minutes each day are free in a slower queue; anything longer draws from your minute bank.
  2. Review the text and timing. Correct words, dialect spelling, and names. Check the beginning, middle, and end of the recording for sync.
  3. Import the file. In VLC or a similar player, choose the subtitle file. In a video editor, import it as a subtitle or caption track.
  4. Export the way you need. Keep the SRT as a sidecar file, or use your editor to burn subtitles into a new video if your audience requires it.

What this site does

Arabic Subtitles transcribes Arabic speech into Arabic text and saves it as SRT. To translate a video into Arabic, or Arabic into English, French or Spanish, use the video subtitle translation page. The site does not burn subtitles into the video or publish your file; those final steps happen in the player or editor you choose.
