Understanding Portuguese MPGA 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 MPGA 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 MPGA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Portuguese MPGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MPGA, 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 MPGA file open in my media player?
Some players do not recognize the .mpga extension even though the audio inside is standard MPEG audio. Renaming the file with an .mp3 extension usually lets any MP3-capable player open it.
Is an MPGA file the same as an MP3?
In most cases the audio data is identical, since both typically use MPEG-1 Audio Layer III encoding. The .mpga extension simply appears more often on audio tracks extracted from MPEG video files.
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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Very high accuracy transcription with noisy tapes / accents. The ability to edit as you listen is incredible. I haven't been impressed with code to this extent since the release of google maps.
Super easy interface, easy to upload and great results.
