Understanding Persian WEBM 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 WEBM 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 WEBM file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Persian WEBM file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WEBM, 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 WebM file open in my video editor?
Many desktop editing applications do not include VP8/VP9 decoders, so WebM files may need conversion to MP4 before importing, even though browsers and players like VLC handle them natively.
How do I get subtitles from a WebM video?
Upload the WebM file for transcription, review and edit the resulting transcript, then export it as an SRT or VTT caption file that most video players and platforms accept.
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.

It really accelerated my work and I was amazed by the accuracy, especially given that the video featured only non-native speakers.
