Understanding Indonesian VOB 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 VOB 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 VOB file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Indonesian VOB file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from VOB, 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 DVD split into several VOB files?
The DVD-Video specification limits each VOB segment to 1 GB, so longer titles are stored as sequential files (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on) inside the VIDEO_TS folder. You can transcribe each segment separately or join them into a single file first for one continuous transcript.
My VOB has multiple audio tracks — which one gets transcribed?
VOB files can multiplex several audio streams, such as different languages or a commentary track. Transcription uses one audio stream at a time, so if you need a track other than the default, extract or remux that stream before uploading.
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.
