Understanding Tagalog OGA 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 OGA 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 OGA file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tagalog OGA file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGA, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Tagalog with Sonix:
Why won't my OGA file play on my iPhone or in Apple Music?
Apple's built-in media apps do not include Ogg Vorbis decoders, so OGA files require a third-party player such as VLC or conversion to a supported format like M4A or MP3.
Do I need to convert OGA to MP3 before transcribing it?
No. OGA files can be uploaded directly for transcription; conversion is only needed if you want to play the file in software without Ogg support.
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.
