Understanding Persian CAF 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.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Persian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Persian 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 Persian CAF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Persian 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 Persian 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 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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I have to say the Arabic transcription was pretty awesome.
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.
