Understanding Italian AIF files
Standard Italian is based on the Tuscan variety, but everyday speech carries strong regional accents from north to south, and Switzerland's Ticino region has its own variant. Regional languages such as Neapolitan, Sicilian, and Venetian differ substantially from standard Italian and are best treated as separate from Italian-language transcription.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Italian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Italian AIF 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 Italian AIF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Italian AIF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Italian with Sonix:
What is the difference between AIF and AIFF files?
They are the same Audio Interchange File Format; .aif is simply the shortened three-character extension. Any application that opens AIFF files can open AIF files.
Why are my AIF files so large?
AIF stores uncompressed PCM audio, so a CD-quality stereo recording takes roughly 10 MB per minute. The upside is that no audio detail is lost to compression, which also makes the files well suited to transcription.
Can Sonix transcribe Italian audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your Italian audio or video file, and Sonix transcribes it with timestamps; you can then edit the transcript in your browser and export it in formats like Word, text, SRT, or VTT.
Does Italian transcription handle regional accents?
Standard Italian spoken with regional accents, from Milan to Palermo, is generally handled well. Speech in distinct regional languages such as Neapolitan or Sicilian differs substantially from standard Italian and may need heavier editing.
Can I create Italian subtitles from my transcript?
Yes. After transcribing and editing, you can export Italian subtitles in SRT or VTT format for use in video players and editing software.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Was using another software before, but their prices went up. Your prices are better and the transcription seems more accurate. I also like that you automatically take out all of the filler words - um, you know, etc.
Easy to use and it saved me SO much time transcribing.
