Understanding Bengali WEBA 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 WEBA 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 WEBA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Bengali WEBA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WEBA, 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 WEBA file open in some media players?
WEBA plays in most modern browsers, but some desktop players and mobile apps do not recognize the .weba extension even though they can handle WebM audio; renaming the file to .webm often fixes that. Players that genuinely lack WebM support need the file converted to MP3 or WAV instead.
Are WEBA and OGG files the same thing?
No. Both can carry Vorbis or Opus audio, but WEBA uses the WebM (Matroska-based) container while OGG uses the Ogg container, so some tools treat them differently even though the underlying audio codec may be identical.
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.
