Quran Caption Documentation

Quran Caption is a desktop and mobile video editor built specifically for Quranic recitations. Import an audio or video file, generate timed Arabic subtitles, add translations, style the result, and export — ready for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. No video editing experience required.

This guide describes the desktop interface. The layout and available controls may differ on Android.

The production workflow

Every project follows the same five steps, mirrored in the editor's tabs:

1. Media — import the recitation (audio or video) and place it on the timeline in the Video editor.
2. Subtitles — create and align the Quran subtitles with the recitation, manually or with AI, in the Subtitles editor.
3. Translations — optionally add one or more translations and adapt them to each recited passage in the Translations tab.
4. Style — apply a ready-made preset or customize every visual detail in the Style editor.
5. Export — render the final video, subtitles, YouTube chapters, or project package in the Export tab.

The editor at a glance

Once a project is open, five tabs organize the whole workflow:

• Video editor — manage assets, download media, and build the timeline.
• Subtitles editor — caption the recitation word by word or with AI.
• Translations — add, review, and refine translations.
• Style — browse presets and customize typography, layout, and effects.
• Export — configure and launch your exports.

AI-powered features

Quran Caption ships with a family of AI tools that remove the manual work where you want it gone:

• AI Segmentation — automatically detect verse boundaries and word-by-word timings from a recitation. Review the generated subtitles before exporting.
• AI translation assistants — trimming, review, bolding, and word-by-word translation mapping.
• Batch processing — run segmentation, translations, styles, and export across many projects at once.
