Questions about Arabic captions
Does Captions Cut make captions in Arabic?
Yes. Choose Arabic as the spoken language, or leave it on Auto detect, and the Arabic speech in your clip becomes timed, word-by-word captions. This works in the iPhone app and in the web editor.
How accurate are automatic Arabic captions?
Good but not perfect, as with any automatic transcription. Clear speech close to the microphone transcribes best; names, slang, background music and people talking over each other cause mistakes. Every word stays editable, so read the captions before you post.
Can I translate Arabic captions into another language?
Yes, with Captions Cut Pro. The translation is shown as a second line under the Arabic captions, so viewers can read both. Translation runs on your iPhone with Apple’s on-device translation, and the languages it offers come from iOS.
What does a Arabic video cost to caption?
1 credit per second of audio, rounded up per video, whatever the language. A 60-second Arabic clip costs 60 credits. Pro includes credits every month; a 30 minutes pack (1,800 credits) costs $2.99 and never expires.
Are right-to-left Arabic captions laid out correctly?
Yes. Arabic is written right to left, and the captions are laid out in that direction, with the spoken word highlighted in reading order. The caption fonts include faces with Arabic script support.
Is the app itself available in Arabic?
Yes. The Captions Cut interface is translated into Arabic, one of 47 app languages, and follows your iPhone’s language setting.
