Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) MPE 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 Chinese (Cantonese) MPE file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) MPE file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MPE, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Chinese (Cantonese) with Sonix:
Is an MPE file the same as an MPEG file?
Effectively yes — MPE is an alternate extension for MPEG video, so the contents are the same kind of MPEG stream. Renaming the file to .mpg or .mpeg usually lets software that expects those extensions open it.
Why won't my MPE file play on my computer?
Some modern players do not recognize the .mpe extension even though they support MPEG video. Renaming the file to .mpg or opening it in a player such as VLC usually resolves the issue.
Can Sonix transcribe Cantonese audio and video?
Yes. Upload your file, select Cantonese as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit in the browser and export to formats like Word, text, and subtitle files.
Does Sonix treat Cantonese and Mandarin as different languages?
Yes, they are separate language selections. Spoken Cantonese and Mandarin are not mutually intelligible, so choose Cantonese for Cantonese-language recordings.
Can I create Cantonese subtitles from my transcript?
Yes. After transcribing and editing, you can export subtitle formats such as SRT and VTT for use in video players and editing software.
