Understanding Tamil FLAC 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 FLAC 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 FLAC file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tamil FLAC file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from FLAC, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Tamil with Sonix:
Do I need to convert FLAC to MP3 before transcribing?
No. FLAC files can be uploaded and transcribed directly, and skipping the MP3 conversion avoids an unnecessary lossy re-encode of your audio.
Why won't my FLAC file play in iTunes or Apple Music?
Apple's media apps do not natively support FLAC; Apple uses its own lossless codec, ALAC. You can play FLAC on Apple devices through the Files app or a third-party player, or convert the file to ALAC or AAC for library use.
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.

Sonix is AWESOME and extremely accurate. This software has it all. I wish that all of the software that I use on a daily basis had the complete and thoughtfully created functionality of Sonix!
No joke, this is the best service out there for qualitative research that involves a lot of audio primary data, and I’ve tried a lot of alternatives.
