العربية
Arabic coverage without hiding dialect differences
Build Arabic calling experiences with distinct coverage for Modern Standard Arabic and Gulf conversations across speech recognition, voices and complete agents.
Modern Standard Arabic
MSA is evaluated for formal service language, announcements, explanations and scripted information.
Gulf Arabic
The first dialect track uses native Gulf recordings, beginning with Saudi and Hijazi/Najdi coverage rather than treating all Arabic as one accent.
Dialect-aware routing
Choose Modern Standard Arabic or Gulf Arabic explicitly for the market and conversation you serve.
What Arabic speech-to-text should solve
Keep dialect visible
Evaluate MSA and Gulf speech separately so one passing variety does not become a blanket Arabic claim.
Capture transaction details
Test names, digits, amounts, dates, confirmations and corrections that matter in service and financial calls.
Build on Hear
Use the normal transcription API for both supported Arabic tracks.

Arabic Speech-to-text FAQ
Which Arabic varieties are supported?
Modern Standard Arabic and Gulf Arabic are supported as distinct varieties. Gulf coverage includes native Saudi speech.
Will the API expose the Arabic variety?
Yes. Select the supported MSA or Gulf identifier for the conversation rather than treating Arabic as one universal dialect.
How is accuracy measured?
Word error rate is combined with native and independent semantic review because a low aggregate error rate can still hide material mistakes in names, amounts or intent.
