Transcription Built for Islamic Speech

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

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

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

Why Islamic Speech Needs a Different Approach

Islamic sermons combine reflection, guidance, and sacred language in ways that differ from everyday speech. Qur'ānic 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 Islamic context

    The audio is transcribed with attention to Qur'ānic 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 Allah. No prophet of Allah 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 Allah chose him to be the final prophet.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
And this is explicitly mentioned in the Qur'ān:

00:00:20 --> 00:00:28
‎مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ ۗ (33:40)

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
And another recitation: wakhatama al-nabiyyīn.

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 Allah

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
even before Ādam عليه السلام existed. Even before Ādam عليه السلام was created as a living soul.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
Allah had decreed the prophethood of our Prophet Muhammad 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?
