Understanding Arabic OGA 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 OGA 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 OGA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Arabic OGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGA, 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 OGA file play on my iPhone or in Apple Music?
Apple's built-in media apps do not include Ogg Vorbis decoders, so OGA files require a third-party player such as VLC or conversion to a supported format like M4A or MP3.
Do I need to convert OGA to MP3 before transcribing it?
No. OGA files can be uploaded directly for transcription; conversion is only needed if you want to play the file in software without Ogg support.
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.

I was surprised in the accuracy from the audio to script. Out of 3 transcripts, only one had to be adjusted. Perfect!!
I am a video editor and I found you by trying a few services with free trials. Sonix was far, far superior as well as an easy process to trial enroll.
