Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) FLAC 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) FLAC file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) FLAC file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from FLAC, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Chinese (Cantonese) with Sonix:
Do I need to convert FLAC to MP3 before transcribing?
No. FLAC files can be uploaded and transcribed directly, and skipping the MP3 conversion avoids an unnecessary lossy re-encode of your audio.
Why won't my FLAC file play in iTunes or Apple Music?
Apple's media apps do not natively support FLAC; Apple uses its own lossless codec, ALAC. You can play FLAC on Apple devices through the Files app or a third-party player, or convert the file to ALAC or AAC for library use.
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.
