Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) VOB 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) VOB file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) VOB file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from VOB, 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 is my DVD split into several VOB files?
The DVD-Video specification limits each VOB segment to 1 GB, so longer titles are stored as sequential files (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on) inside the VIDEO_TS folder. You can transcribe each segment separately or join them into a single file first for one continuous transcript.
My VOB has multiple audio tracks — which one gets transcribed?
VOB files can multiplex several audio streams, such as different languages or a commentary track. Transcription uses one audio stream at a time, so if you need a track other than the default, extract or remux that stream before uploading.
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.

I was surprised in the accuracy from the audio to script. Out of 3 transcripts, only one had to be adjusted. Perfect!!
Very accurate transcription, ease of use and customer service. Price was also very reasonable.
