Understanding Hebrew WMA 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 WMA 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 WMA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Hebrew WMA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WMA, 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 WMA file play on my Mac or iPhone?
WMA is a proprietary Microsoft format, and Apple devices do not support it natively. You can play the file in a third-party app such as VLC, or convert it to a widely supported format like MP3 or M4A.
Does converting WMA to MP3 reduce audio quality?
Both formats are lossy, so re-encoding a WMA file to MP3 adds a second compression pass that can introduce minor quality loss. For speech recordings at typical bitrates, the difference is usually not noticeable.
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
The fact that your service can export text as subtitles and can match the subtitles to the paragraphs in the transcript is just great! Also, the text editor is just awesome. The fact it bonds text and timing in the video so I can check and compare what was pronounced and what was recognized is truly fantastic.
The title says it all. Sonix is the simplest, the most accurate transcription service I have ever tried. Even quiet or muffled speech is perfectly produced. If you need one, this is it!
