Catalan AAC, in detail

Understanding Catalan AAC files

Catalan splits into two broad dialect blocks: Eastern (including Central Catalan spoken around Barcelona, Balearic, and Alguerese in Sardinia) and Western (including Valencian, officially called Valencian in the Valencian Community). Eastern varieties reduce unstressed a and e to a schwa and unstressed o to u, while Western varieties keep these vowels distinct — a difference that affects how words sound in recordings.

Catalan AAC conversion FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How to improve the accuracy of your Catalan transcripts?

Start by improving the quality of the Catalan AAC 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 Catalan AAC file that I upload?

Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Catalan AAC file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.

Aside from AAC, do you support other types of audio/video files?

Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Catalan with Sonix:

What is the difference between AAC and M4A files?

Both typically contain the same AAC-encoded audio; the difference is packaging. A .aac file is a raw ADTS stream, while a .m4a file wraps the audio in an MPEG-4 container that supports metadata such as tags, artwork, and chapters.

Why won't my AAC file open in some apps?

Raw .aac files are a bare audio stream without a standard container, so some players and editors that expect MP4/M4A files cannot read them. Renaming the extension does not fix this — remux or convert the file into an M4A or MP3 instead.

Can Sonix transcribe Valencian audio?

Yes. Valencian is a variety of Catalan, so you can upload Valencian audio or video, transcribe it with the Catalan model, and edit the transcript in your browser.

Does Catalan transcription work if speakers mix in Spanish?

Occasional Spanish words and phrases are common in Catalan recordings and can appear in the transcript, but heavily mixed audio should be reviewed in the editor. If a recording is mostly Spanish, transcribe it as Spanish instead.

Can I create Catalan subtitles from my video?

Yes. After Sonix transcribes your Catalan video, you can export the transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files, with every word individually timestamped.
