I was amazed at how accurate Sonix is.
Sonix is simple and very easy to use and the results were very nearly perfect. I would definitely recommended the site to anyone who asks me.
I have been a dialogue system researcher for half a decade now. I had build my own app for doing the transcriptions. Sonix was clearly better than what I had. I made the switch!
It was super easy, affordable, and accurate!
It really accelerated my work and I was amazed by the accuracy, especially given that the video featured only non-native speakers.
Surprisingly accurate transcription across a number of European accents (Yorkshire, Scottish, Oxford, Italian!)
My transcript work flow is so fast now. It takes me half the time it used to. So glad i found you :)
I've used other platforms that don't do a good job at all. Sonix was close to perfect!
