Arabic AI video generator
Turn a PDF, slide deck or notes into a narrated video lecture in Arabic, with titles and captions in Arabic too. Every scene is written from the files you upload.
Free to start, no credit card. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit.
Direct answer
Can AI make a video lecture in Arabic from my documents?
Yes. Upload a PDF, deck or notes, set the output language to Arabic, and Scholarly writes a script from your files, narrates it in Arabic and renders chaptered scenes with Arabic text on screen. The source can be in English or any other language.
- Free plan: One lifetime AI Creation Credit and one upload (up to 8 MB; the first 32 pages of a PDF are read), enough for one Arabic video of about 2 minutes at up to 720p. It carries Scholarly branding and is watched and shared by link; MP4 download is paid. No credit card.
- Paid plans: Premium ($30/mo in US dollars, lower local prices in some countries) includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, up to 10 sources per video, 1080p, target lengths up to 45 minutes and watermark-free MP4 downloads. A video over 15 minutes costs 1 extra credit, over 30 minutes 2. Laureate ($99/mo) includes 80 credits a week and 20 sources.
- What goes in: PDFs, slide decks, Word files, notes, images, YouTube links and recordings. Up to 10 files per video on Premium, 20 on Laureate, 1 on Free.
- What comes out: A chaptered video with diagrams, charts and illustrations, narration, captions and a transcript, shareable by link. Paid plans download a watermark-free MP4.
- How Arabic is handled: Narration, scene text and captions all follow Arabic. Built-in English scene labels are left out of non-English lectures instead of appearing untranslated. Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak Arabic instead of guessing the language from the text, and asked to read numbers and abbreviations the way a native speaker says them.

Language details
How Scholarly handles Arabic
What changes when the output language is Arabic, taken from how the speech and rendering pipeline actually works.
Voice
Narration is spoken by a multilingual voice that is told to speak Arabic instead of guessing the language from the text, and asked to read numbers and abbreviations the way a native speaker says them.
Script and layout
Right to left. On-screen text is set right to left, the layout mirrors, and English terms inside an Arabic heading keep their own word order.
Variants in the picker
The picker has one Arabic entry. There is no separate Egyptian or Gulf dialect option today.
Check before you share
Numbers, product codes and English acronyms inside Arabic sentences are the parts to check first in the first scenes.
Where it is used
Who makes Arabic material like this
Training for teams in the Gulf and MENA
Onboarding, safety and product training in Arabic for teams in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt or Jordan, from the English documents head office already has.
Bilingual Arabic and English material

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can my source be in English and the output in Arabic?
Yes. The source and the output do not have to share a language. Upload an English PDF, deck or recording, set the output language to Arabic in the creation panel, and the script, text and narration are written in Arabic. Leave the setting on Auto and Scholarly follows the language of the source instead.
Does it handle right-to-left text in videos?
Yes. Arabic lectures are laid out right to left, and when a heading mixes Arabic with an English term such as a product name, the English run keeps its order instead of being reversed.
Is the Arabic AI video generator free?
You can try it free: the Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit, enough for one roughly 2-minute video at up to 720p in Arabic, shared by link. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, longer target lengths, 1080p and MP4 downloads.
Does the video show Arabic on screen or only speak it?
Both. Titles, key points and diagram labels are written in Arabic along with the narration, and the captions and transcript follow the same language. English product names or technical terms from your source can stay in English where that is how your audience says them.
Is Scholarly's interface available in Arabic?
Not yet. Scholarly's interface is available in English (US), English (UK), Deutsch, Español (España), Español (Latinoamérica), Français, 日本語, 한국어, Nederlands, Português (Brasil), 简体中文, العربية, Italiano and Türkçe, but what you create can be in Arabic whichever interface language you use: pick it once as your default output language in Settings, or per creation in the language row of the creation panel.
