Understanding Arabic OGV 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 OGV 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 OGV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Arabic OGV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Arabic with Sonix:
Is an OGV file the same as an OGG file?
No. Both use the Ogg container from Xiph.Org, but OGV holds video (typically Theora), while the OGG extension is reserved for audio-only files encoded with Vorbis.
Why won't my OGV file play on my computer?
OGV relies on codecs like Theora and Vorbis that are not preinstalled on every operating system. Players such as VLC support it natively, or you can install Xiph.Org's codec components for other 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.

Very impressed of your product. The general concept is ingenious for the task to be accomplished and the implementation is impressive. Your product gives great satisfaction.
Gobsmackingly amazing! As a software developer of 40 years I know quality when I see it. An amazing product and a pretty damn good web-site to back it all up also. Totally staggered at the accuracy, especially when multiple voices contribute to a meeting.
