Chinese (Cantonese) MPGA conversion FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?

Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) MPGA 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) MPGA file that I upload?

Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) MPGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.

Aside from MPGA, 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 MPGA file open in my media player?

Some players do not recognize the .mpga extension even though the audio inside is standard MPEG audio. Renaming the file with an .mp3 extension usually lets any MP3-capable player open it.

Is an MPGA file the same as an MP3?

In most cases the audio data is identical, since both typically use MPEG-1 Audio Layer III encoding. The .mpga extension simply appears more often on audio tracks extracted from MPEG video files.

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.
