Understanding Catalan WMA 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 WMA 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 WMA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Catalan WMA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WMA, 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 WMA file play on my Mac or iPhone?
WMA is a proprietary Microsoft format, and Apple devices do not support it natively. You can play the file in a third-party app such as VLC, or convert it to a widely supported format like MP3 or M4A.
Does converting WMA to MP3 reduce audio quality?
Both formats are lossy, so re-encoding a WMA file to MP3 adds a second compression pass that can introduce minor quality loss. For speech recordings at typical bitrates, the difference is usually not noticeable.
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.
