Free to start, no credit card. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit.
Direct answer
Can AI turn a document into a podcast in Arabic?
Yes. Upload the document, set the output language to Arabic, and Scholarly scripts a conversation between a host, a producer and a guest from your source. All three speak Arabic, and the transcript and captions follow the episode language.
- What goes in: PDFs, notes, slide decks, website links, YouTube videos and recordings. One source on Free, up to 10 per episode on Premium and 20 on Laureate.
- What comes out: A three-speaker episode with chapters, a clickable transcript and page-level citations, plus a chapter-slide video mode.
- How Arabic is handled: Every voice is multilingual and follows Arabic. The source can stay in English; the conversation is written in Arabic. Narration uses a voice set to Arabic (Saudi Arabia), and the speech engine is told the language explicitly instead of guessing it from the text.
- What each plan gets: Free makes one episode of about 2 minutes, streamed and shared by link. Premium adds 15 AI Creation Credits a week, episodes up to 60 minutes and MP3 and MP4 downloads.

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 uses a voice set to Arabic (Saudi Arabia), and the speech engine is told the language explicitly instead of guessing it from the text.
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
Keep English product names and technical terms inside Arabic narration and on-screen text, and make the English version from the same file.
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 podcast generator free?
You can make one episode free: the Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit, which makes an episode of about 2 minutes in Arabic. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits a week, episodes up to 60 minutes and MP3 downloads.
Can I download the Arabic episode as an MP3?
On a paid plan, yes. Premium and Laureate download the episode as an MP3 for podcast apps or as an MP4 of the chapter-slide video. On Free you can stream it in Scholarly and share it by view link.
Is Scholarly's interface available in Arabic?
Not yet. The app itself is in English or Japanese, but what you create can be in Arabic: pick it once as your default output language in Settings, or per creation in the language row of the creation panel.
