Understanding Hindi WMV files
Standard Hindi is based on the Khari Boli dialect of the Delhi region, but everyday speech across northern India shades into related varieties such as Awadhi, Braj, and Bhojpuri. Spoken Hindi also overlaps heavily with Urdu, and urban speakers frequently mix in English ("Hinglish"), so recordings often contain more than one register.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Hindi transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Hindi 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 Hindi WMV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Hindi 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 Hindi 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 Hindi audio that mixes in English words?
Yes, you can upload Hindi audio and video files and Sonix will transcribe them; because Hindi speakers often switch into English mid-sentence, it is worth reviewing mixed-language passages in the built-in editor before exporting.
Does Sonix output Hindi transcripts in Devanagari script?
Yes, Hindi transcripts are produced in Devanagari, and you can edit them in the browser and export to formats like DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
Should I choose Hindi or Urdu for my recording?
Spoken Hindi and Urdu overlap heavily, but they are separate language selections with different scripts, so choose the one that matches your recording to get the transcript in the correct writing system.
