Understanding French OGA 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 OGA 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 OGA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your French OGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGA, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in French with Sonix:
Why won't my OGA file play on my iPhone or in Apple Music?
Apple's built-in media apps do not include Ogg Vorbis decoders, so OGA files require a third-party player such as VLC or conversion to a supported format like M4A or MP3.
Do I need to convert OGA to MP3 before transcribing it?
No. OGA files can be uploaded directly for transcription; conversion is only needed if you want to play the file in software without Ogg support.
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.
