Understanding Thai FLAC files
Standard Thai, based on the Central Thai spoken in and around Bangkok, dominates broadcasting, education, and most recorded media, and it is the variety speech recognition models target. Regional varieties — Northern Thai (Kham Mueang), Northeastern Thai (Isan, closely related to Lao), and Southern Thai — differ noticeably in tones and vocabulary, so heavily dialectal recordings typically need more editing.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Thai transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Thai 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 Thai FLAC file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Thai 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 Thai 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 Thai audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your Thai audio or video file, and Sonix converts it to text that you can proofread in the in-browser editor and export to formats such as Word documents or subtitle files.
Does Thai transcription handle Isan or other regional dialects?
Thai speech recognition is built around Standard (Central) Thai. Recordings with strong Isan, Northern, or Southern dialect speech can still be transcribed, but plan for additional proofreading time in the editor.
Can I create Thai subtitles from my transcript?
Yes. After transcribing and polishing your Thai transcript, you can export it as SRT or VTT subtitle files for video captioning.
