Understanding Catalan MXF 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 MXF 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 MXF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Catalan MXF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MXF, 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 MXF file play in a regular media player?
MXF is a professional container, and consumer media players often lack the codecs it wraps, such as XDCAM or AVC-Intra. VLC or a professional editing application like Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer can usually open it.
Do I need to convert MXF to MP4 before transcribing?
Usually not. You can upload the MXF file directly for transcription; conversion to MP4 is only needed if a downstream tool in your workflow does not support the MXF container.
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
Sonix is the best transcription program I have worked with.
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!
