What Arabic Transcription Costs
Price depends on audio length, which dialect you have, whether it's formal MSA or colloquial dialect. Modern Standard Arabic is different from Egyptian colloquial Arabic. Some dialects are harder to transcribe than others. Real people do the work, not software that makes mistakes with Arabic's complexity.

Our transcribers actually grew up speaking these dialects as their first language.

We Handle What Makes Arabic Complex

Formal vs informal address. Regional differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar. We deal with all of it because our transcribers live this complexity every day.
The Arabic Language
Over 400 million native speakers across 22 countries spanning North Africa and the Middle East. Fifth most spoken language in the world. Official language of the United Nations. Critical for Middle East business, Islamic studies, international relations, oil and energy sectors.
Arabic has two distinct levels. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) gets used in formal contexts like news broadcasts, education, official government documents, formal writing. Regional dialects get used in everyday life, family conversations, casual settings. Egyptian Arabic is widely understood because of Egyptian movies and TV shows watched across Arab world. Gulf Arabic gets used in wealthy oil states. Levantine Arabic in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan. Maghrebi Arabic across North Africa. These dialects differ significantly in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar. An Egyptian and a Moroccan both speak Arabic, but they might struggle to understand each other's dialect without switching to MSA.
That's exactly why Arabic transcription needs native speakers who know specific regional varieties, not just people who studied MSA grammar in university classes.
