Understanding Hebrew OPUS 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 OPUS 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 OPUS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Hebrew OPUS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OPUS, 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 OPUS file play on my computer?
Older media players and some built-in OS players lack Opus support. Opening the file in VLC or a modern web browser, or converting it to MP3 or WAV, usually resolves the issue.
Are WhatsApp voice messages OPUS files?
Yes, WhatsApp exports voice notes as .opus files. You can upload them for transcription directly without converting them first.
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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Sonix is easy to use. Ridiculously easy. And even though the accuracy wasn't perfect it saved several days in a typical transcription cycle and the hourly cost we usually pay.
I have absolute admiration for the impressive transcription done to 3 short YouTube videos. It is truly amazing how accurately it recorded the correct words and so well paragraphed as well.
