Understanding Malay OGA 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 OGA 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 OGA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Malay OGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGA, 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 OGA file play on my iPhone or in Apple Music?
Apple's built-in media apps do not include Ogg Vorbis decoders, so OGA files require a third-party player such as VLC or conversion to a supported format like M4A or MP3.
Do I need to convert OGA to MP3 before transcribing it?
No. OGA files can be uploaded directly for transcription; conversion is only needed if you want to play the file in software without Ogg support.
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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
The level of accuracy and your UI is quite amazing. It allowed me to try the product without having to learn anything new, I was so happy about it I sent the results to a couple of friends because I knew at the moment that this could change the way I work.
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.
