Understanding Indonesian MP2 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 MP2 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 MP2 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Indonesian MP2 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP2, 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 MP2 file play on my phone or computer?
Many modern players omit MPEG Layer II decoders because MP3 largely replaced MP2 outside broadcasting. Players such as VLC still support MP2, or you can convert the file to MP3 or WAV.
Is an MP2 file the same as MPEG-2 video?
No. An .mp2 file contains MPEG Layer II compressed audio only, while MPEG-2 video files typically use extensions like .mpg, .mpeg, or .m2v.
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 LOVE Sonix. It's saving my life. I'm working on a project with almost NO budget, interviewing a bunch of people and the Sonix transcriptions are accurate, and are so easy and intuitive to correct.
Sonix saves me 60% of the time editing. No more manual trascription nightmare with writing down timecodes, and sending emails. I think you are changing the game here! Bravo :)
