Understanding Bengali AU files
Standard Bengali comes in two closely related national varieties: the Dhaka-influenced standard used in Bangladesh and the Kolkata-based standard used in West Bengal, India, which differ in pronunciation and some vocabulary. Regional varieties such as Sylheti and Chittagonian diverge so strongly that many linguists classify them as separate languages, so they behave differently from standard Bengali in speech recognition.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Bengali transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Bengali AU 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 Bengali AU file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Bengali AU file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AU, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Bengali with Sonix:
Why is my Audacity project folder full of small AU files?
Older versions of Audacity split a project's audio into small AU block files inside a _data folder so long tracks could be edited efficiently, and the .aup project file reassembles them in order. Avoid moving or renaming these chunks; open the project and export the audio instead.
How do I play a standalone AU file?
Standalone AU files use the Sun audio format and open in players such as VLC and editors such as Audacity. Converting to WAV or MP3 gives the broadest compatibility with modern software and devices.
Can Sonix transcribe both Bangladeshi and Indian Bengali?
Yes. Sonix's Bengali model handles standard Bengali as spoken in both Bangladesh and West Bengal, India; you upload your audio or video, select Bengali, and then review and edit the transcript in the browser.
Does Sonix output Bengali transcripts in the Bengali script?
Yes. Transcripts are produced in the native Bengali (Bangla) script, and you can edit them in the online editor and export to formats such as DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
Can Sonix transcribe Sylheti or Chittagonian recordings?
Sonix's Bengali model is trained on standard Bengali, and Sylheti and Chittagonian diverge enough that they are often considered separate languages. Recordings in those varieties may need more manual correction in the editor.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
The entire process is extremely straightforward and what I liked most was the accuracy of the transcriptions and translations. I must say, I had some doubts as to what the quality would be like since it was in French, but I was not disappointed in the least.
Content is still king. Google can’t crawl audio from webinars and videos. Getting that content transcribed with Sonix is an absolute must if you want to drive more leads to your web site.
