Understanding Catalan MTS 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 MTS 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 MTS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Catalan MTS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MTS, 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 MTS file play on my computer?
MTS files use the AVCHD transport-stream structure, which some default media players do not support, and clips copied out of the camcorder's AVCHD folder can lose playback context. Opening the file in VLC or remuxing it to MP4 usually resolves the issue.
Do I need to convert MTS to MP4 before transcribing?
No. You can upload the MTS file directly, and its audio track is extracted and transcribed the same way as an MP4 upload.
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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
It's incredibly fast, and it sets the timing for subtitles perfectly. I dread having to time everything myself, and with Sonix I can do that just by pressing Enter!
The recording I transcribed was poor quality at best, so I was pleasantly surprised by how accurately Sonix captured the text. And your editor is absolutely brilliant!
