Understanding Hebrew GSM files
Modern Israeli Hebrew is highly standardized, but pronunciation varies between traditions — some Mizrahi speakers preserve guttural consonants that most Israelis merge. Liturgical and Biblical Hebrew readings differ substantially from everyday conversational speech, which is what speech recognition models are trained on.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Hebrew transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Hebrew GSM 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 Hebrew GSM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Hebrew GSM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from GSM, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Hebrew with Sonix:
Why won't my GSM file play on my computer?
GSM is a telephony codec that many consumer media players do not decode by default. Players such as VLC can open it, or you can convert the file to WAV or MP3 for broader compatibility.
Is telephone-quality GSM audio suitable for transcription?
GSM was designed specifically for human speech at an 8 kHz sample rate, so clear voice recordings generally transcribe well. As with any phone recording, heavy background noise or overlapping speakers reduces clarity.
Can Sonix transcribe Modern Hebrew audio and video?
Yes. Upload your Hebrew audio or video file, and Sonix generates a transcript in Hebrew script that you can review in the built-in editor and export to formats like DOCX, PDF, or SRT.
Does Hebrew transcription handle right-to-left text?
Hebrew is written right-to-left, and Sonix transcripts are produced in Hebrew script. Each word stays linked to its timestamp, so you can click any word to play the audio from that moment while editing.
Can Sonix handle Hebrew speakers who mix in English words?
Modern Israeli speech often includes English loanwords, and short switches are common in interviews and podcasts. Any misrecognized words can be corrected quickly in the editor, with the audio synced word by word for verification.
