Understanding Malay CAF files
Standard Malay as spoken in Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore is closely related to Indonesian but differs in vocabulary, pronunciation, and some spellings. Regional dialects such as Kelantan-Pattani, Terengganu, and Sarawak Malay diverge noticeably from the broadcast standard, which is what speech recognition handles most reliably.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Malay transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Malay CAF 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 Malay CAF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Malay CAF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from CAF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Malay with Sonix:
Why won't my CAF file play on Windows?
CAF is an Apple container that most Windows applications do not support natively. You can open it with a third-party player such as VLC, or convert it to WAV or MP3 for broader compatibility.
How large can a CAF file be?
CAF uses 64-bit file offsets, so there is no practical size limit and recordings can run for many hours. This is the main advantage over WAV and AIFF, which are capped at 4 GB.
Can Sonix transcribe both Malay and Indonesian?
Yes. Malay and Indonesian are closely related but are separate language selections in Sonix, so pick the one that matches your speakers for the best result.
Does Malay transcription handle English code-switching?
Malaysian and Singaporean speech often mixes in English words and phrases. Sonix transcribes the Malay speech automatically, and the built-in editor makes it easy to review and correct mixed-language passages.
How do I transcribe Malay audio to text with Sonix?
Upload your audio or video file, select Malay as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript in minutes that you can edit, then export to formats such as DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
