Understanding Arabic transcription

Who transcribes Arabic content?

Broadcasters and news agencies covering the Middle East and North Africa, academic and policy researchers, NGOs and international organizations, and diaspora media outlets regularly transcribe Arabic interviews, briefings, and broadcasts. Journalists and documentary teams also use Arabic transcripts to pull quotes and create subtitles.

Arabic dialects and accents

Arabic is diglossic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) dominates news broadcasts, speeches, and formal settings, while everyday conversation happens in regional dialects such as Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Iraqi, and Maghrebi. Spoken dialects can differ substantially from MSA and from each other, which affects how recognizable conversational audio is to speech recognition.

Where Arabic is spoken

Arabic is spoken in Algeria, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Tanzania, Somalia, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
