Understanding Portuguese MP2 files
Portuguese has two major standards: Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, which differ noticeably in pronunciation, rhythm, and some vocabulary. African varieties spoken in Angola, Mozambique, and other Lusophone countries generally follow the European standard, while Brazil itself has distinct regional accents such as Carioca, Paulista, and Northeastern speech.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Portuguese transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Portuguese MP2 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 Portuguese MP2 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Portuguese MP2 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP2, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Portuguese with Sonix:
Why won't my MP2 file play on my phone or computer?
Many modern players omit MPEG Layer II decoders because MP3 largely replaced MP2 outside broadcasting. Players such as VLC still support MP2, or you can convert the file to MP3 or WAV.
Is an MP2 file the same as MPEG-2 video?
No. An .mp2 file contains MPEG Layer II compressed audio only, while MPEG-2 video files typically use extensions like .mpg, .mpeg, or .m2v.
Does Sonix support both Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes. You can upload audio or video in either variety, transcribe it, edit the transcript in your browser, and export it in a range of formats.
Can Sonix transcribe Portuguese audio with accented characters?
Yes. Portuguese transcripts include the language's diacritics, such as ã, õ, and ç, and they carry through to exported files.
Can I translate a Portuguese transcript into English?
Yes. After transcribing your Portuguese audio, you can translate the transcript into English or other supported languages and export the result.

The experience is fantastic, the system is easy to use, and transcription quality in different languages is unbeatable. Sonix is the best system I've tried so far...and I know one thing or two about languages/translation and voice recognition.
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.
