Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) MP3 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) MP3 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) MP3 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP3, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Chinese (Cantonese) with Sonix:
Does the MP3 bitrate affect transcription quality?
It can. Files encoded at 128 kbps or higher preserve more speech detail, while heavily compressed recordings below about 96 kbps may introduce artifacts that make words harder to recognize.
How do I turn an MP3 recording into SRT subtitles?
Upload the MP3, generate a transcript, adjust the text and timings as needed, and export the result in SRT or VTT caption format.
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.
