Understanding Indonesian FLV 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 FLV 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 FLV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Indonesian FLV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from FLV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Indonesian with Sonix:
Why won't my FLV file play on my computer?
FLV was designed for Adobe Flash Player, which was discontinued at the end of 2020, so modern browsers and many media players no longer support it. Players such as VLC can still open FLV files, or you can convert them to MP4 for broader compatibility.
Do I need to convert FLV to MP4 before transcribing?
No, FLV files can be uploaded directly for transcription. Converting to MP4 is only needed if you also want the video to play in modern browsers or editing software.
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.

I have been a dialogue system researcher for half a decade now. I had build my own app for doing the transcriptions. Sonix was clearly better than what I had. I made the switch!
I am very happy to have found a transcription service that provides such a high percentage of perfect content.
