Understanding Tagalog AAC files
Standard Filipino is based on the Manila dialect of Tagalog, but regional varieties such as Batangas, Bulacan, and Marinduque Tagalog differ in pronunciation and vocabulary. In practice, the biggest variable for speech recognition is Taglish — the frequent mixing of Tagalog and English within a single sentence, which is common in Philippine media, business, and everyday conversation.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Tagalog transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Tagalog AAC 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 Tagalog AAC file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tagalog AAC file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AAC, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Tagalog with Sonix:
What is the difference between AAC and M4A files?
Both typically contain the same AAC-encoded audio; the difference is packaging. A .aac file is a raw ADTS stream, while a .m4a file wraps the audio in an MPEG-4 container that supports metadata such as tags, artwork, and chapters.
Why won't my AAC file open in some apps?
Raw .aac files are a bare audio stream without a standard container, so some players and editors that expect MP4/M4A files cannot read them. Renaming the extension does not fix this — remux or convert the file into an M4A or MP3 instead.
Can Sonix transcribe Taglish, the mix of Tagalog and English?
Code-switching between Tagalog and English is very common in Philippine speech, and transcripts of mixed-language audio are produced in the language you select. Passages with heavy switching can be corrected quickly in the built-in editor, which syncs the text to the audio.
Is Filipino the same as Tagalog for transcription?
Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, is the standardized register based on Tagalog, so the two are mutually intelligible for transcription purposes. Select Tagalog when uploading Filipino-language audio or video.
Can Sonix create subtitles for Tagalog videos?
Yes. After a Tagalog video is transcribed, you can edit the transcript and export it as SRT or VTT subtitle files, or burn the captions directly into the video.
