Everything about audio transcription
Which audio format gives the best transcription accuracy?
Uncompressed formats like WAV and AIFF typically give the best results. However, high-quality MP3 files (192kbps+) also produce excellent transcriptions.
Can I convert podcasts to text?
Yes! Upload your podcast audio file in any format and Sonix will transcribe it. You can then create show notes, blog posts, or searchable transcripts.
How do I transcribe voice memos?
Simply upload your voice memo file (M4A from iPhone, or any format) to Sonix. We'll transcribe it in minutes with speaker identification.
Can I transcribe music with lyrics?
Sonix is optimized for speech transcription. While it can transcribe sung lyrics, it works best with spoken content like podcasts, interviews, and meetings.

Sonix supports audio files up to 4GB in size. For longer recordings, our intelligent processing handles them efficiently.

Trusted by audio professionals
I love Sonix. It's accurate, intuitive, friendly and simple to use for the technically inept like me! I typically use it for English but we used it this time in French and it was great too.
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.
