Video Transcript to Arabic Study Notes
Extract structured Arabic notes from English or Arabic video transcripts using Gemini
Your video library is in English but your learners need Arabic materials. Manual translation of hour-long videos into useful notes takes days and the structure often gets lost.
That is the gap this drop closes. It is a content & writing skill built for Gemini, and it takes about ten minutes to set up the first time. After that it runs in under a minute.
Who should use it
Trainers, educators and L&D specialists who need Arabic study materials from video content
How it works
The skill file does five things, in this order.
1. Get the transcript with timestamps. Use YouTube's transcript feature or a tool like Otter.ai to extract the full video text with time markers.
2. Request Arabic note structure. Tell Gemini to create Arabic section headings, bullet points and key terms from the transcript.
3. Specify technical term handling. Instruct the model whether to translate technical terms fully, keep them in English with Arabic explanation, or transliterate them.
4. Add context for your domain. Provide industry context or preferred terminology so Arabic output matches how your audience actually speaks.
5. Review for formal versus accessible tone. Check that the Arabic register suits your learners and adjust the prompt if the language is too formal or too colloquial.
What comes back
Arabic study notes with section structure, key concepts and timestamp references for learners to navigate back to the original video
The mistake to avoid
Gemini sometimes defaults to overly formal Arabic that sounds unnatural to Gulf learners. Test a sample with your actual audience and add tone guidance to your prompt. If technical terms are inconsistent across runs, build a small glossary in your prompt.
Running it
Save the prompt as a Gem so it is reusable, or paste it into Gemini with your files attached. If the task touches Sheets, Docs or Gmail, run it from the Workspace side panel so it can read the file you already have open.
Where this fits
On its own, one skill saves an hour a week. The compounding happens when three or four of them run in sequence on the same input, the same transcript that produces a scope of work also produces the follow-up email and the project brief. That is the point at which it stops being a prompt and starts being an internal tool. If you want that wired into the systems your team already uses, that is the work 67 Digital does.

Create structured Arabic study notes with these requirements:
1. Organize content into logical sections with clear Arabic headings
2. Extract 3-5 key concepts per section as bullet points in Arabic
3. Include timestamp references in brackets after each major point
4. For technical terms in {industry_domain}, use this approach: {term_handling_preference}
5. Write in Modern Standard Arabic with a {tone_preference} register suitable for {target_audience}
6. Add a glossary section at the end for recurring technical terms
7. Highlight practical examples or case studies mentioned in the video
8. If the speaker provides action items or recommendations, group them in a separate section called "توصيات عملية"
Preferred terminology:
{custom_glossary}
Format the output with clear visual hierarchy using Arabic typography conventions.
