Understanding Indonesian AU files
Indonesian is a standardized language based on Riau Malay, so formal speech is fairly uniform across the country, but accents are shaped by speakers' regional first languages such as Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese. Colloquial Jakarta Indonesian (bahasa gaul) also differs noticeably from formal Indonesian in vocabulary and word forms, and Indonesian is distinct from the closely related Malaysian Malay.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Indonesian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Indonesian AU 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 Indonesian AU file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Indonesian AU file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AU, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Indonesian with Sonix:
Why is my Audacity project folder full of small AU files?
Older versions of Audacity split a project's audio into small AU block files inside a _data folder so long tracks could be edited efficiently, and the .aup project file reassembles them in order. Avoid moving or renaming these chunks; open the project and export the audio instead.
How do I play a standalone AU file?
Standalone AU files use the Sun audio format and open in players such as VLC and editors such as Audacity. Converting to WAV or MP3 gives the broadest compatibility with modern software and devices.
Can Sonix transcribe Indonesian audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your Indonesian audio or video file, receive an automated transcript, then review it in the built-in editor and export to formats like Word, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
Should I choose Indonesian or Malay when transcribing my recording?
Choose Indonesian for content recorded in Indonesia. Indonesian and Malaysian Malay are closely related but differ in vocabulary and pronunciation, so selecting the correct language gives better results.
Does Indonesian transcription handle colloquial Jakarta speech?
Automated transcription works best with standard Indonesian, such as news and formal interviews. Slang-heavy colloquial speech can still be transcribed, but it typically needs more cleanup in the editor.
