Understanding Estonian MXF 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 MXF 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 MXF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Estonian MXF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MXF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Estonian with Sonix:
Why won't my MXF file play in a regular media player?
MXF is a professional container, and consumer media players often lack the codecs it wraps, such as XDCAM or AVC-Intra. VLC or a professional editing application like Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer can usually open it.
Do I need to convert MXF to MP4 before transcribing?
Usually not. You can upload the MXF file directly for transcription; conversion to MP4 is only needed if a downstream tool in your workflow does not support the MXF container.
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.

Really fast to transcribe our audio files with high accuracy, we just had to correct some small words.
