Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) MTS 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) MTS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) MTS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MTS, 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 MTS file play on my computer?
MTS files use the AVCHD transport-stream structure, which some default media players do not support, and clips copied out of the camcorder's AVCHD folder can lose playback context. Opening the file in VLC or remuxing it to MP4 usually resolves the issue.
Do I need to convert MTS to MP4 before transcribing?
No. You can upload the MTS file directly, and its audio track is extracted and transcribed the same way as an MP4 upload.
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.
