Understanding Swahili MUS files
Standard Swahili is based on Kiunguja, the dialect of Zanzibar, and is the variety most speech recognition models target. Congolese Swahili (Kingwana) in the DRC and urban varieties such as Kenya's Sheng, which mixes Swahili with English, can differ noticeably from broadcast-standard Swahili.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Swahili transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Swahili MUS 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 Swahili MUS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Swahili MUS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MUS, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Swahili with Sonix:
Can I convert MUS files to text?
Not directly — MUS files contain music notation data rather than recorded audio, so there is no spoken content to transcribe from the file itself. If your project includes recorded audio, export it from Finale as a WAV or MP3, then upload that audio file to transcribe it, edit the transcript, and export the text.
Why won't my MUS file play in my media player?
MUS is a notation document, not an audio file, so media players have no audio stream to decode. Open it in Finale and use the software's audio export if you need a playable file.
How do I open a MUS file without Finale?
MUS is a proprietary Finale format, so most other applications cannot open it directly. Exporting the score from Finale to MusicXML is the standard way to move it into other notation software.
Can Sonix transcribe Congolese Swahili?
You can upload recordings in Congolese Swahili (Kingwana) and select Swahili as the spoken language. Because Kingwana differs from the East African standard, plan to review and polish the transcript in the browser editor before exporting.
Does Swahili transcription handle audio mixed with English?
Swahili recordings from Kenya and urban East Africa often include English words and phrases. Sonix transcribes the file with the Swahili model you select, and the synced editor makes it straightforward to correct code-switched passages.
What formats can I export a Swahili transcript to?
After transcribing, you can edit the transcript in your browser and export it to formats including Word, PDF, plain text, and SRT or VTT subtitle files.
