Understanding Bengali RM 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 RM 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 RM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Bengali RM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from RM, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Bengali with Sonix:
Why won't my RM file play on my computer?
RM is a proprietary RealNetworks format that modern operating systems no longer support out of the box. You typically need RealPlayer, or a player like VLC that offers partial RM support.
Should I convert my RM files to a modern format?
For long-term preservation, converting to a widely supported format like MP4 is a reasonable step, since RM playback support continues to shrink. Keep the original file as well, because re-encoding a lossy format can reduce quality slightly.
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 UI is da bomb with so many great features including the one where I can highlight a passage and download as a clip. So very useful! It’s editing and transcription combined!!
The fact that your service can export text as subtitles and can match the subtitles to the paragraphs in the transcript is just great! Also, the text editor is just awesome. The fact it bonds text and timing in the video so I can check and compare what was pronounced and what was recognized is truly fantastic.
