Speech to Text in Arabic

Explorer ,
Jan 24, 2023 Jan 24, 2023

I am surprised that Adobe has some languages included in Speech to Text (Transcribe) feature but not a major language which is used and spoken by over 350 million people which is Arabic? With so many Arabic production features now that are aired and uploaded to many online streaming services, it is CRITICAL that Adobe pays respect to it's users who work in Arabic content/film/TV series.  Now that this request is as important as any new update, it is getting huge attention in the media and NLE users everywhere. So I hope that in the next update 23.1 Premiere Pro will have Arabic included in Speech to Text.

I use another site (Sonix), it has an amazing Arabic transcription accuracy, mostly above 90%. But yes, we definitely should have that option natively within PPro.

Right now, the Auto-Transcribe and Auto-Caption tools don’t recognize Arabic.
We spend hours using external AI sites or manual typing — which kills creative flow

Imagine if Premiere could:

  • Automatically transcribe Arabic dialogue

  • Generate accurate Arabic subtitles (RTL)

  • Detect dialects like Jordanian, Egyptian, Gulf, etc.

This would change everything for thousands of Arabic filmmakers, YouTubers, and editors.
