THE CHALLENGE

Bridging the Language Gap for 90 Million People

Standard Arabic doesn't connect with Maghreb audiences. Your users speak Darija, Dziriya, and Tounsi—dialects that are fundamentally different languages with unique cultural context.

Your Users Don't Speak Standard Arabic

Maghreb dialects differ significantly from Modern Standard Arabic. Using MSA feels formal and distant, reducing engagement and connection with your audience.

60% lower engagement with MSA content

Cultural Context Matters

Direct translation misses cultural nuances, local expressions, and regional preferences. Generic tools produce awkward, unnatural text that users reject.

3x higher bounce rates with poor localization

Human Translation Doesn't Scale

Hiring native speakers is expensive, slow, and inconsistent. You need instant, reliable translation that maintains quality across thousands of requests.

10x cost reduction with automation

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to get started

How long does it take to integrate?

Most developers complete their first integration in under 10 minutes. Our REST API is simple, well-documented, and works with any programming language. Start with our playground to test without writing any code.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No! Our free tier includes 10,000 characters per month with no credit card required. Perfect for testing, prototyping, and small projects. Upgrade anytime as your needs grow.

What dialects are supported?

We support three major Maghreb dialects: Darija (Moroccan Arabic), Dziriya (Algerian Arabic), and Tounsi (Tunisian Arabic). Each with multiple style variations including informal, formal, marketing, legal, and more.

How accurate are the translations?

Our AI models are trained specifically on Maghreb dialects with cultural context and regional nuances. We achieve industry-leading accuracy by focusing exclusively on these dialects rather than generic Arabic.

What's the API response time?

Average response time is under 500ms for translation requests. Text-to-Speech typically responds in 1-2 seconds depending on audio length. We use intelligent caching to make repeated requests even faster.

Can I test the API before integrating?

Absolutely! Use our interactive playground to test all three APIs (Translation, TTS, STT) without writing any code. Experiment with different dialects, styles, and options to see real-time results.

How does billing work?

We charge based on usage: characters for translation, seconds for TTS/STT. All plans include generous quotas. You'll only be charged if you exceed your plan limits. View detailed usage analytics in your dashboard.

Is there a rate limit?

Free tier: 100 requests/minute. Paid plans: 1,000+ requests/minute. Enterprise plans offer custom rate limits. Rate limits are per API key, so you can create multiple keys for different applications.
