BeamTake transcribes English speech, translates it into Arabic subtitles and burns them into the video. The audio stays the same, so the speaker keeps their own voice; only the text on screen changes.

Speech is transcribed with word-level timing.
Subtitles are translated and their timings rebalanced for the target language.
Arabic subtitles are rendered into the video, and .srt files in both languages download too.
Speech is fast, with lots of contractions and connected forms (gonna, wanna). Names and brand names get spelled by ear; downloading the transcript and fixing them is the fastest route.
Spoken English uses connected forms: “going to” becomes “gonna”. The transcript writes what was said, not written English; you can tidy it up in the .srt file.
English captions open content up to the global feed. Most viewers whose first language isn't English still follow English captions easily, so it's usually the first extra language to add.
Translation follows the flow of speech, not word by word: a English sentence can come out longer or shorter in Arabic, so subtitle timings are rebalanced. Printed without letter shaping, words look broken apart; right alignment and connected forms are both required.
Line breaks follow the target language: 26–30 characters per line, right-aligned. The source reads left to right and the target right to left: caption alignment and line-breaking rules are set up from scratch.
Arabic is spoken from Morocco to the Gulf, and mobile video use in the region is above the global average. The right-to-left direction makes captioning a technically separate job.

We don't generate synthetic voices. The speaker's own voice and intonation stay, and viewers read the text. For interviews, lectures, podcasts and other speech-heavy content, that's more honest than imitating a voice, and causes fewer problems in practice.
No. The audio stays as it is and the translation goes out as subtitles, so the speaker's voice and tone are preserved.
Spoken English uses connected forms: “going to” becomes “gonna”. The transcript writes what was said, not written English; you can tidy it up in the .srt file.
Yes. Printed without letter shaping, words look broken apart; right alignment and connected forms are both required.
