Dialects, not just Modern Standard
AI voice, video and dubbing in Arabic
العربية
Most platforms offer one "Arabic" voice, which in practice means Modern Standard Arabic — correct for a news bulletin and wrong for almost everything else. An Egyptian audience hears MSA the way a British audience hears a formal read of a legal notice. ReVidGen carries Standard Arabic alongside a wide range of regional variants, so the voice matches the audience.

The dialect problem nobody else solves
A Gulf audience, an Egyptian audience and a Moroccan audience do not share a spoken register, and a single Modern Standard voice reads as institutional to all three. The voice engine here carries 21 Arabic variants — including Gulf, Egyptian, Najdi, Hijazi, Moroccan and Tunisian — so a campaign can be localised to the market rather than to the language.
Right-to-left, rendered rather than reversed
Arabic is cursive and contextual: letters change shape depending on what sits either side of them, and a renderer that lays out glyphs left to right and flips the result produces text that is subtly wrong in a way native readers spot instantly. Burned-in subtitles resolve to Noto Naskh Arabic and are shaped, not mirrored. The worker image installs the font explicitly, because fontconfig substituting a Latin face renders Arabic as a row of empty boxes on top of a video the customer has already paid for.
One budget across the region
Localising into Arabic usually means voiceover, dubbing, subtitles and often a presenter. Those come out of one credit balance here instead of four separate tools with four renewal dates.
Studios that work in Arabic

Common questions
- Which Arabic dialects are available?
- Standard Arabic, Najdi Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Gulf Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Hijazi Arabic, Omani Arabic, Tunisian Arabic and more — 21 variants in total. The list is read directly from the live voice engine, so this page cannot fall out of step with what you can actually select.
- Do Arabic captions render correctly?
- Yes. Captions and burned-in subtitles use Noto Naskh Arabic with proper contextual shaping and right-to-left layout.
- Can I dub a video into Arabic and keep the speakers’ voices?
- Yes. Dubbing Studio clones each speaker from their own audio and re-voices them in Arabic, keeping music and timing intact.
