Understanding Tagalog AIFF 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 AIFF 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 AIFF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tagalog AIFF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIFF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Tagalog with Sonix:
Why are my AIFF files so large?
AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio, which works out to roughly 10 MB per minute at CD quality. Converting to a compressed format like MP3 or a lossless codec like FLAC reduces the size if storage or upload time is a concern.
Do AIFF files play on Windows?
Most modern Windows media players and audio editors can open AIFF files, although WAV is the more common uncompressed format on that platform. If a specific program rejects the file, converting it to WAV preserves the audio exactly.
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.
