Understanding English MPE files
English spans many regional varieties, including American, British, Australian, Irish, Canadian, Caribbean, Indian, and Nigerian English, each with distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and rhythm. Non-rhotic accents (many British and Australian varieties drop the "r" after vowels, as in "car" or "letter") and vowel shifts across regions are the variations most likely to affect speech recognition.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your English transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the English MPE 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 English MPE file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your English MPE file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MPE, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in English with Sonix:
Is an MPE file the same as an MPEG file?
Effectively yes — MPE is an alternate extension for MPEG video, so the contents are the same kind of MPEG stream. Renaming the file to .mpg or .mpeg usually lets software that expects those extensions open it.
Why won't my MPE file play on my computer?
Some modern players do not recognize the .mpe extension even though they support MPEG video. Renaming the file to .mpg or opening it in a player such as VLC usually resolves the issue.
Can Sonix transcribe British and Australian English as well as American English?
Yes. Sonix transcribes English recordings from any region, including British, Australian, Irish, Canadian, and Caribbean accents. Upload your file, review the transcript in the in-browser editor, and export it in your preferred format.
Does English transcription handle recordings with multiple accents?
Yes. A single English recording can include speakers with different regional accents, and Sonix transcribes them in one pass. Speaker labels help you attribute lines to each participant while you edit.
Can Sonix transcribe English audio with heavy background noise?
Sonix can transcribe noisy English audio, but cleaner recordings produce better results. Recordings with background noise, low volume, or crosstalk typically need more correction in the editor.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I am very happy to have found a transcription service that provides such a high percentage of perfect content.
Having tried numerous transcription services, this was undoubtedly the best. There were features (such as the synching up of the audio to the words for review) that I hadn’t ever hoped to find.
