Understanding Estonian QT 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 QT 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 QT file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Estonian QT file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from QT, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Estonian with Sonix:
Is a QT file the same as a MOV file?
Both use Apple's QuickTime container format; .qt is the older extension and .mov is the current standard. The contents are structurally the same, which is why most tools treat them identically.
Why won't my QT file open in my media player?
Some modern players only recognize the .mov extension even though the container is the same. Renaming the file from .qt to .mov often restores playback, though very old files may use discontinued codecs that require conversion.
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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Was using another software before, but their prices went up. Your prices are better and the transcription seems more accurate. I also like that you automatically take out all of the filler words - um, you know, etc.
I love how easy it is – it saves me so much time transcribing – I can just pull out the main points of interest from the transcription.
