Understanding Tagalog OGG 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 OGG 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 OGG file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tagalog OGG file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGG, 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 OGG file play in iTunes or on my iPhone?
Apple's built-in media apps do not include native Vorbis support, so OGG files typically require a third-party player like VLC or conversion to a supported format such as M4A or MP3.
What is the difference between OGG, OGA, and OGV files?
All three use the same Ogg container: .ogg and .oga hold audio-only streams, while .ogv holds video streams such as Theora.
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.
