Understanding English transcription

Who transcribes English content?

English is the default working language for podcasters, journalists, market researchers, courts, and universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and dozens of other countries. Corporate teams also transcribe English meetings, webinars, and earnings calls to create searchable records and captions.

English dialects and accents

English spans many regional varieties, including American, British, Australian, Irish, Canadian, Caribbean, Indian, and Nigerian English, each with distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and rhythm. Non-rhotic accents (many British and Australian varieties drop the "r" after vowels, as in "car" or "letter") and vowel shifts across regions are the variations most likely to affect speech recognition.

Can I add subtitles to my Zoom recording?

Absolutely. After transcription, export your English transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files. Upload these to video platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, or use Sonix's burn-in feature to permanently embed subtitles in your video.

How long does Zoom transcription take?
