Understanding Tamil TS 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 TS 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 TS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Tamil TS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from TS, 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 TS file play on my computer?
Some default media players lack the demuxers or codecs used in broadcast transport streams. Free players such as VLC open most .ts files, or the file can be remuxed to MP4 without re-encoding.
Do I need to join multiple .ts segments before transcribing?
Streaming captures often arrive as many short .ts segments, and combining them into one file first keeps the transcript in a single continuous document. Segments from the same stream can usually be concatenated without re-encoding.
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.
