Understanding Italian RM 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 RM 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 RM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Italian RM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from RM, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Italian with Sonix:
Why won't my RM file play on my computer?
RM is a proprietary RealNetworks format that modern operating systems no longer support out of the box. You typically need RealPlayer, or a player like VLC that offers partial RM support.
Should I convert my RM files to a modern format?
For long-term preservation, converting to a widely supported format like MP4 is a reasonable step, since RM playback support continues to shrink. Keep the original file as well, because re-encoding a lossy format can reduce quality slightly.
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.
