Understanding Arabic QT 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 QT 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 QT file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Arabic QT file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from QT, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Arabic with Sonix:
Is a QT file the same as a MOV file?
Both use Apple's QuickTime container format; .qt is the older extension and .mov is the current standard. The contents are structurally the same, which is why most tools treat them identically.
Why won't my QT file open in my media player?
Some modern players only recognize the .mov extension even though the container is the same. Renaming the file from .qt to .mov often restores playback, though very old files may use discontinued codecs that require conversion.
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.
