Persian AU, in detail

Understanding Persian AU files

Persian has three major national varieties: Iranian Persian (Farsi), Dari in Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which differ in vowel pronunciation, vocabulary, and loanwords. Colloquial spoken Persian, especially the Tehrani register, also diverges noticeably from formal written Persian in verb endings and contractions, which matters when converting speech to standard written text.

Persian AU conversion FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How to improve the accuracy of your Persian transcripts?

Start by improving the quality of the Persian AU 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 Persian AU file that I upload?

Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Persian AU file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.

Aside from AU, do you support other types of audio/video files?

Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Persian with Sonix:

Why is my Audacity project folder full of small AU files?

Older versions of Audacity split a project's audio into small AU block files inside a _data folder so long tracks could be edited efficiently, and the .aup project file reassembles them in order. Avoid moving or renaming these chunks; open the project and export the audio instead.

How do I play a standalone AU file?

Standalone AU files use the Sun audio format and open in players such as VLC and editors such as Audacity. Converting to WAV or MP3 gives the broadest compatibility with modern software and devices.

Can Sonix transcribe Dari or Afghan Persian audio?

Yes. Dari is a national variety of Persian, and Persian-language audio from Afghanistan can be uploaded, transcribed, edited, and exported like any other supported language.

Is Farsi the same as Persian for transcription purposes?

Farsi is the local name for Persian as spoken in Iran, so selecting Persian is the correct choice for Farsi audio. The same selection covers Iranian Persian recordings from media, interviews, and meetings.

Does Persian transcription handle right-to-left text?

Yes. Persian transcripts are produced in the right-to-left Perso-Arabic script, and you can edit them in the browser and export to formats such as Word, SRT, and VTT.
