Understanding Arabic FLV files
Arabic is diglossic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) dominates news broadcasts, speeches, and formal settings, while everyday conversation happens in regional dialects such as Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Iraqi, and Maghrebi. Spoken dialects can differ substantially from MSA and from each other, which affects how recognizable conversational audio is to speech recognition.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Arabic transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Arabic FLV file that you upload to Sonix. Please use high quality recording equipment, recording in a quiet environment, and ensure that your speakers are speaking clearly to ensure that your transcript is as accurate as possible.
Any advice for the Arabic FLV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Arabic FLV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from FLV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Arabic with Sonix:
Why won't my FLV file play on my computer?
FLV was designed for Adobe Flash Player, which was discontinued at the end of 2020, so modern browsers and many media players no longer support it. Players such as VLC can still open FLV files, or you can convert them to MP4 for broader compatibility.
Do I need to convert FLV to MP4 before transcribing?
No, FLV files can be uploaded directly for transcription. Converting to MP4 is only needed if you also want the video to play in modern browsers or editing software.
Can Sonix transcribe Egyptian Arabic and other dialects?
Sonix transcribes Arabic audio, and speech close to Modern Standard Arabic generally produces the cleanest results. Dialect-heavy recordings such as Egyptian or Maghrebi conversation can be transcribed and then polished in the browser-based editor, where the text is synced to the audio.
Does Sonix handle right-to-left Arabic text?
Yes, transcripts are displayed in Arabic script and can be edited directly in the browser. Finished transcripts export to standard formats such as Word documents and SRT or VTT subtitle files.
How do I transcribe an Arabic audio or video file with Sonix?
Upload your file (up to 4 GB or 4 hours) from your computer, Dropbox, or Google Drive, select Arabic as the spoken language, and Sonix returns a transcript you can edit and export.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
What I loved about the transcription is that it is fast and it's also highly accurate.
My first trial was a video interview with a woman with an Eastern European accent, and I thought there was no way your system would render a good transcription—but it was amazingly accurate!
