Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) MOOV 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) MOOV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) MOOV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MOOV, 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 MOOV file open on my computer?
Modern media players often do not recognize the legacy .moov extension, and very old files may use discontinued codecs. Renaming the file to .mov frequently resolves the extension issue, though files encoded with obsolete codecs may need re-encoding first.
Are MOOV and MOV files the same thing?
They use the same QuickTime container structure. MOOV was the original Macintosh extension, and Apple later migrated to MOV for better cross-platform consistency.
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.
