Understanding Bengali WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Bengali WAV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WAV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Bengali with Sonix:
Do I need to convert WAV to MP3 before transcribing?
No, WAV files can be uploaded and transcribed directly. Keeping the original WAV avoids the compression artifacts an MP3 conversion introduces, though the larger file may take longer to upload.
Why are my WAV files so large?
WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so CD-quality stereo uses roughly 10 MB per minute. Converting to a compressed format like FLAC or MP3 reduces the size if you need to save space after transcription.
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.

I came across Sonix by accident... and boy was I glad I did. This tool is virtually word perfect and the SRT file it output worked perfectly...
I’ve been using your transcription software for about a year now. I just wanted to let you guys know that I think it is incredible. I have tried many alternatives, and none of them have been able to match the accuracy of Sonix!
