Transcribing Academic Islamic Lectures (Dr. Israr, Mufti Tariq Masood, Mufti Taqi Usmani)

Academic Islamic lecture audio being transcribed into structured English text for study notes

Academic Islamic lectures, such as those by the late Dr. Israr Ahmed or Mufti Taqi Usmani, are treasure troves of knowledge. However, because they rapidly switch between heavy Urdu and classical Arabic Quranic verses, extracting written notes from these videos is incredibly tedious.

Why Standard Speech-to-Text Fails

If you use standard transcription software on these videos, the AI usually crashes when the speaker switches from Urdu to Arabic. It misinterprets Quranic references as random Urdu words, ruining the transcript.

Extracting Text with Qaaf AI

Qaaf AI's Audio Transcriber is built for this dual-language complexity. By simply pasting the YouTube link, the AI isolates the Urdu speech and perfectly captures the Arabic references. This allows students and researchers to turn a 2-hour Tafseer session into a clean, readable document in minutes.
