Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) 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 Chinese (Cantonese) MXF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) 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 Chinese (Cantonese) 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 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.
