Question 1

Does Mufakkir support Egyptian Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mufakkir supports Egyptian Arabic natively, including Egyptian dialect vocabulary, the /g/ pronunciation of the Arabic letter jim, glottal stop for qaf, and the fast speech patterns of Egyptian colloquial Arabic. You can record in masri and receive an accurate transcript without switching to Modern Standard Arabic.

Question 2

How accurate is Mufakkir for Arabic dialects?

Accepted Answer

Mufakkir achieves up to 95% transcription accuracy on Arabic dialect speech. This applies across Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Moroccan Darija, Iraqi, Sudanese, and 9 other Arabic dialects. Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, and speaking pace.

Question 3

Is my audio private? Does Mufakkir store my recordings?

Accepted Answer

Mufakkir processes your audio for transcription and does not sell your data. The free audio tools (trimmer, converter, splitter) run entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and never upload your files to any server. For transcription, audio is sent to the processing engine and is not retained after the transcription is complete.

Question 4

How much does Mufakkir cost?

Accepted Answer

Mufakkir offers a free plan that includes 60 minutes of transcription per month with no credit card required. Paid plans are available for users who need more transcription time. The free audio tools (trimmer, converter, speed changer, and others) are always free with no account required.

Question 5

What languages does Mufakkir support besides Arabic?

Accepted Answer

Mufakkir supports over 20 languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Hindi, and more. Arabic dialect support covers 15+ varieties including Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Iraqi, Sudanese, Yemeni, Hejazi, Najdi, Kuwaiti, Emirati, Omani, and Libyan Arabic.

Question 6

What is the difference between Arabic dialects and Modern Standard Arabic for transcription?

Accepted Answer

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA or Fusha) is the formal written form of Arabic used in news, official documents, and education. Most Arabic speakers use regional dialects in everyday conversation, such as Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine Arabic, which differ significantly from MSA in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Standard transcription models trained only on MSA produce poor results on dialect speech. Mufakkir is trained on real dialect audio, not just MSA, which is why it transcribes natural Arabic speech accurately.
