Transcription Built for Islāmic Speech

Kutib AI is a transcription system designed specifically for Islāmic content.

Unlike general transcription tools, it recognizes religious terminology, Qurʾānic recitation, and code-switched speech where Arabic and English are spoken together.

The result is clearer, more consistent text that reflects how Islāmic speech is actually delivered.

Why Islāmic Speech Needs a Different Approach

Islāmic sermons combine reflection, guidance, and sacred language in ways that differ from everyday speech. Qurʾānic verses, Arabic names, and religious terms are often woven naturally into English delivery.

For transcripts to remain readable and useful, these elements must be recognized and presented consistently, rather than treated as isolated or unfamiliar words.

How Kutib AI Works

  • Upload your audio, video, or link

    Upload a file or provide a recording URL. Kutib AI supports common audio and video formats, as well as streamed content.

  • Transcription with Islāmic context

    The audio is transcribed with attention to Qurʾānic recitation, religious terminology, and Arabic–English mixed speech. Important terms are written consistently, and recitation is handled distinctly from spoken commentary.

  • Structured, usable output

    Transcripts are prepared in formats that support reading, publishing, and captioning across documents and streaming platforms.

What Does a Transcription Look Like?

00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
number one, he is the final Prophet of Allāh. No Prophet of Allāh has obviously ever been the final prophet.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
And there’s only one prophet that can be the final. And Allāh chose him to be the final prophet.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
And this is explicitly mentioned in the Qurʾān.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:28
{مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ}

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
And another recitation, wa-khātim al-nabiyyīn (⁨وَخَاتِمِ النَّبِيِّينَ⁩).

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
And that is the seal and the end of the prophets. Number two,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
the prophethood of our Prophet ﷺ had been decreed by Allāh.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
Even before Ādam عليه السّلام existed. Even before Ādam عليه السّلام was a living soul.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
Allāh had decreed the Prophethood of our Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
even before the rūḥ was blown into Ādam.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
One of the Ṣaḥābah asked the Prophet ﷺ,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
When were you decreed to be a prophet, Yā Rasūl Allāh (⁨يَا رَسُول الله⁩)?

Output can be exported as plain text or caption-ready files for supported platforms.
