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.
What's the maximum audio file size?
Sonix supports audio files up to 4GB in size. For longer recordings, our intelligent processing handles them efficiently.

Trusted by audio professionals
Sonix is by far the best transcription tool I have ever used.
I'm very impressed about the accuracy. The transcript needs a little editing, but just minor correction. I think the interface is straightforward and user-friendly. I also like the audio-transcript matching playback functionality. I've been very deterred to use recording during my interviews because it takes a tremendous amount of time to transcribe.
Your app is amazing. Seriously, I'm blown away by the technology. The speed, accuracy, and the fact that you can play the audio and that it highlights the transcript in sync.
AMAZING!! Seamless. Quick. Very accurate. Easy to use. Time stitching. The ease of assigning speakers to paragraphs and making new paragraphs are all amazing!
Your product is incredible. I love it!
Very high quality transcription - very accurate - only took a quick scan/sweep to manually correct/clean up the text.
I have absolute admiration for the impressive transcription done to 3 short YouTube videos. It is truly amazing how accurately it recorded the correct words and so well paragraphed...
Sonix is easy to use. Ridiculously easy. And even though the accuracy wasn't perfect it saved several days in a typical transcription cycle and the hourly cost we usually pay.
