Understanding Persian RM 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 RM 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 RM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Persian RM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from RM, 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 RM file play on my computer?
RM is a proprietary RealNetworks format that modern operating systems no longer support out of the box. You typically need RealPlayer, or a player like VLC that offers partial RM support.
Should I convert my RM files to a modern format?
For long-term preservation, converting to a widely supported format like MP4 is a reasonable step, since RM playback support continues to shrink. Keep the original file as well, because re-encoding a lossy format can reduce quality slightly.
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'm very impressed about the accuracy. The transcript needs a little editing, but just minor correction. I think the interface is straightforward and user-friendly. I also like the audio-transcript matching playback functionality. I've been very deterred to use recording during my interviews because it takes a tremendous amount of time to transcribe.
It’s super easy to use and I was so impressed how fast the transcription came back. I love that you can listen to the recording while following along with the transcripts. I also like you can download the transcripts.
