Understanding Catalan MP2 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.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Catalan transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Catalan MP2 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 MP2 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Catalan MP2 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP2, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Catalan with Sonix:
Why won't my MP2 file play on my phone or computer?
Many modern players omit MPEG Layer II decoders because MP3 largely replaced MP2 outside broadcasting. Players such as VLC still support MP2, or you can convert the file to MP3 or WAV.
Is an MP2 file the same as MPEG-2 video?
No. An .mp2 file contains MPEG Layer II compressed audio only, while MPEG-2 video files typically use extensions like .mpg, .mpeg, or .m2v.
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.
