Tips for better Arabic captions
- Spoken Arabic varies by country; review dialect words and names in the editor before exporting.
- Arabic letters join, so very wide letter-spacing breaks words — keep tracking at the template default.
- Word-by-word reveals follow the right-to-left reading order.

Frequently asked questions
Does Samsaam support Arabic dialects?
Arabic speech is transcribed as spoken. Dialect words are more likely to need a correction than Modern Standard Arabic, so check them in the editor.
Can I export Arabic subtitles for YouTube?
Yes — SRT or VTT, with right-to-left text, ready to upload as a caption track.
