Transcribe an Arabic khutbah and publish Friday's reminder as text by the evening.
A 40-minute Friday khutbah recorded in Canada, in Arabic or Arabic and English, comes back as Arabic-script text in under 2 minutes, with the language detected automatically. Twelve such khutbahs, 480 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500 after the first 20 minutes free.
For the masjid's media volunteer
Many in the musalla catch the khutbah in only one of its languages. On the page, they can read the part they missed.
Bilingual khutbahs kept whole
A khutbah that opens in Arabic and continues in English is one recording. It is detected on its main language and the other is handled in the same pass. No language menu to choose; 99 languages are detected automatically.
Reminders for the week
The brief gives the khutbah's message and takeaways, a ready text for the newsletter, the website or the community group. The chapters mark the opening, the first and second khutbah and the closing du'a, so a reader can jump to the reminder itself.
Check recited verses
Ayat and hadith recited melodically or quickly deserve a check against the source before the text is published, along with names and dates.
Ramadan and the year in minutes
Thirty nightly talks of 30 minutes are 900 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. A two-hour lecture recorded on video goes through the upload page.
Where khutbahs go
The khutbah is given on Friday and remembered in pieces by Saturday.
✗ Audio only
The recording is posted, and anyone who wants the text types it themselves. Students and new Muslims who follow only the English part never get the Arabic section, and families who pray at work on Fridays miss the khutbah entirely.
- No written khutbah for the website
- Arabic sections lost on English-only tools

- Hard to find a past topic

✓ With the transcript
Friday's khutbah is text before Maghrib, in Arabic script with chapters. The text goes on the masjid website and newsletter, families who missed Jumu'ah read it at home, and the media team adds captions to the video so it can be followed on a phone without sound. A searchable archive of past khutbahs builds up week by week.
- Under 2 minutes per 40-minute khutbah
- Arabic and English in one text
- The khatib named in the summary

FAQ
Arabic khutbah recordings, answered.
How long does a 40-minute khutbah take?
Well under 2 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes of processing per hour of audio. A khutbah under 20 minutes, from a first-time visitor, is transcribed in full in the free preview.
What does a year of Friday khutbahs cost?
At 40 minutes each, twelve fit the $6 pack of 500. Fifty weeks, 2,000 minutes, fill the $12 pack of 2,000 exactly, so a full year of 52, 2,080 minutes, goes on the $24 pack of 5,000 with room for Ramadan talks and Eid khutbahs. Credits never expire, so a pack bought in Muharram still works the next Ramadan.
Our khutbah switches between Arabic and English. Which one is it detected as?
The recording is detected on its main language, and the other is handled in the same pass. A khutbah given mostly in English with Arabic openings and du'a is detected as English, and the Arabic still comes through.
Is the text in Arabic script?
Yes, Arabic speech comes back in Arabic script, as in the sample above. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON.
Can I paste the livestream?
A YouTube link, including a live replay, goes in directly with no upload. For a stream on another platform, download the recording and upload the file; one file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A phone recording of a 40-minute khutbah at 64 kbps is about 19 MB, which uploads in seconds.
Where is the recording processed?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
