Understanding French MK3D files
French varies noticeably between Metropolitan (European) French, Canadian French (including Québécois, with distinct vowel sounds and vocabulary), and the many African varieties spoken in countries like Senegal, Ivory Coast, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Belgian and Swiss French are close to the Metropolitan standard but use different number words (septante, nonante), which matters when verifying figures in a transcript.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your French transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the French MK3D 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 French MK3D file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your French MK3D file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MK3D, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in French with Sonix:
Does the 3D video affect transcription of an MK3D file?
No. Transcription uses only the audio track, so the stereoscopic layout stored in the StereoMode field has no effect on the resulting text.
Why won't my MK3D file play on my computer?
Many default media players do not recognize the .mk3d extension or lack stereoscopic support. Players that handle Matroska files, such as VLC, can usually open them, though the video may display as 2D without 3D-capable hardware.
Can Sonix transcribe Canadian French?
Yes. Sonix transcribes French audio from Canada as well as Europe and Africa, and the in-browser editor lets you review and correct any regional vocabulary while listening to the synced audio.
Does French transcription handle accents from African countries?
Sonix accepts French recordings from any region, including Francophone Africa. Because the transcript is stitched to the audio, you can quickly verify passages with regional pronunciation or code-switching and fix them in the editor.
Can I export French subtitles from my transcript?
Yes. After transcribing a French audio or video file, you can export the transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files, as a Word document, or in dozens of other formats.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Fast, easy transcription. Also the ability to edit in the software with the recording before exporting is a great feature. I have already recommended you to a friend.
I found out out you guys because I had to do some transcribing for me yearbook class and my friend recommended you guys. It was a very easy process and it took hours off the time I had to actually had to transcribe it. The timing made it very easy to go back in the recording, this is the best feature in Sonix.
