Understanding Estonian MP4 files
Standard Estonian is based on the northern dialect group, which dominates broadcast media and everyday speech. South Estonian varieties such as Võro, Seto, Mulgi, and Tartu diverge substantially — Võro and Seto are sometimes classified as separate languages — so recordings from southeastern Estonia can differ noticeably from the standard.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Estonian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Estonian MP4 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 Estonian MP4 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Estonian MP4 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP4, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Estonian with Sonix:
Do I need to extract the audio from an MP4 before transcribing it?
No. Because MP4 is a container that holds both video and audio streams, the audio track can be read directly from the file, so you can upload the video as is.
Why does my MP4 file play video but no sound?
The file may contain a video stream with no audio track, or its audio may use a codec your player does not support. Checking the file's stream details in a tool like VLC or re-exporting it with an AAC audio track usually resolves the issue.
Can Sonix transcribe Estonian audio and video files?
Yes. Upload an Estonian audio or video file, select Estonian as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit, search, and export.
Does Estonian transcription handle South Estonian dialects like Võro?
Sonix's Estonian transcription targets standard Estonian, which is based on the northern dialects. Strongly divergent South Estonian varieties such as Võro or Seto may need additional review in the editor.
Can I export Estonian transcripts as subtitles?
Yes. Estonian transcripts can be exported as SRT and VTT subtitle files, as well as document formats like DOCX and PDF.
