Understanding Tamil AMR files
Tamil shows strong diglossia: formal written Tamil differs markedly from the colloquial Tamil heard in everyday conversation and media. Regional variants — Tamil Nadu dialects in India, Sri Lankan Tamil (including the conservative Jaffna dialect), and Malaysian/Singaporean Tamil — differ in pronunciation and vocabulary, which is worth knowing before transcribing spoken audio.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Tamil transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Tamil AMR 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 Tamil AMR file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tamil AMR file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AMR, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Tamil with Sonix:
Why won't my AMR file play on my computer?
AMR is a mobile telephony codec that many desktop media players do not support out of the box. Players such as VLC can open it, or you can convert the file to MP3 or WAV for wider compatibility.
Is AMR audio good enough for transcription?
Usually yes for clear voice recordings, since the codec is designed around the human speech range. Recordings made at the lowest bit rates or with heavy background noise carry less audio detail, which can reduce transcript clarity.
Can Sonix transcribe Sri Lankan Tamil as well as Indian Tamil?
Yes. Sonix's Tamil transcription accepts audio and video from India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and diaspora communities — upload the file, select Tamil, and review the transcript in the built-in editor.
Does Sonix output Tamil transcripts in Tamil script?
Yes, transcripts are generated in Tamil script and can be exported to formats such as DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT.
Can Sonix handle Tamil audio that mixes in English words?
Tamil-English code-switching is common in Tamil media and everyday speech. Select Tamil as the transcription language, then use the AudioText Editor to correct any mixed-language passages before exporting.
