Common Questions

Everything you need to know about
multi-language transcription

How many languages does Sonix support for transcription?

Sonix supports automated transcription in over 53 languages, including major world languages like English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Portuguese, as well as regional languages like Catalan, Welsh, and Swahili.

How accurate is Sonix for non-English languages?

Sonix delivers high accuracy across all supported languages, typically 85-99% depending on audio quality. Our AI models are specifically trained for each language, including regional accents and dialects. Clear audio with minimal background noise achieves the best results.

Can I transcribe audio with multiple languages?

Yes. If your audio contains speakers using different languages, you can enable auto-language detection. Sonix will identify language switches and transcribe each segment in the appropriate language. This works best when language switches happen between speakers rather than mid-sentence.

How long does transcription take for each language?

Transcription speed is consistent across all languages. A typical 1-hour audio file takes about 5-6 minutes to transcribe. Processing time may vary slightly based on file size, audio quality, and current system load.

Can I translate my transcript to other languages?

Absolutely. After transcription, you can translate your transcript into any of our supported languages with one click. Sonix uses advanced neural machine translation to preserve context and meaning. Translations are delivered in minutes.

What audio formats work with multi-language transcription?

Sonix accepts all major audio and video formats including MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, MOV, AVI, WMV, and more. Files can be up to 4GB or 4 hours long. You can upload directly from your computer, Dropbox, Google Drive, or via URL.
