Understanding Greek WMV files
Standard Modern Greek, based on the Demotic variety spoken in Greece, is the form most speech recognition models are trained on. Cypriot Greek differs noticeably in pronunciation and vocabulary, and regional accents from Crete and northern Greece can also vary from the Athens standard.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Greek transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Greek WMV 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 Greek WMV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Greek WMV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WMV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Greek with Sonix:
Why won't my WMV file play on my Mac?
macOS does not include Microsoft's WMV codecs, so QuickTime cannot open the file natively. You can play it with a third-party app such as VLC, or convert it to MP4 for broader compatibility.
Can I get subtitles from a WMV video?
Yes. After uploading and transcribing the WMV file, you can export the transcript as an SRT or VTT caption file with timestamps aligned to the video.
Can Sonix transcribe Cypriot Greek?
Sonix's Greek model is built around Standard Modern Greek, so Cypriot recordings can be transcribed, but dialect-heavy passages may need cleanup in the built-in editor.
Does Sonix output Greek transcripts in the Greek alphabet?
Yes, transcripts are produced in Greek script, and you can edit them in the browser and export to formats like DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
Can I add English subtitles to a Greek video?
Yes, after transcribing the Greek audio you can translate the transcript into English and export it as SRT or VTT subtitle files.
