Understanding Korean MOV files
Standard South Korean, based on Seoul speech, dominates broadcast media and is what most speech recognition models are trained on. Regional dialects such as Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong differ in intonation and vocabulary, and Jeju speech is divergent enough that linguists often classify it as a separate language.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Korean transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Korean MOV 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 Korean MOV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Korean MOV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MOV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Korean with Sonix:
Do I need to convert MOV to MP4 before transcribing?
No. MOV files can be uploaded and transcribed directly, and because both containers typically carry the same audio codecs, converting first adds a step without changing the result.
Why won't my MOV file play on Windows?
Some MOV files use Apple codecs such as ProRes that Windows media players do not decode by default. Playing the file in a codec-rich player like VLC, or converting it to MP4, usually resolves the issue.
Can Sonix transcribe Korean audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your Korean recording and Sonix generates a transcript in Hangul that you can edit in the browser alongside the synced audio, then export to formats like DOCX, PDF, and SRT.
Does Korean transcription handle regional dialects like Gyeongsang or Jeolla?
Automated models are trained primarily on Seoul-standard Korean, so they generally handle regional accents but strong dialect speech may need more editing. You can review and correct those passages in the synced transcript editor.
Can I translate a Korean transcript into English?
Yes. After transcribing, you can translate the Korean transcript into English and other languages within Sonix, then export the translated documents or subtitles.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I loved my experience cause Sonix has a really good tutorial and it got the words from the audio pretty well. It really did it what I needed really fast, even if it was the first time using it.
Fast, easy transcription. Also the ability to edit in the software with the recording before exporting is a great feature. I have already recommended you to a friend.
