Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Chinese (Cantonese) transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Chinese (Cantonese) WEBA 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) WEBA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Chinese (Cantonese) WEBA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WEBA, 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 WEBA file open in some media players?
WEBA plays in most modern browsers, but some desktop players and mobile apps do not recognize the .weba extension even though they can handle WebM audio; renaming the file to .webm often fixes that. Players that genuinely lack WebM support need the file converted to MP3 or WAV instead.
Are WEBA and OGG files the same thing?
No. Both can carry Vorbis or Opus audio, but WEBA uses the WebM (Matroska-based) container while OGG uses the Ogg container, so some tools treat them differently even though the underlying audio codec may be identical.
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.
