Understanding Thai WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Thai WAV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from WAV, 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 WAV to MP3 before transcribing?
No, WAV files can be uploaded and transcribed directly. Keeping the original WAV avoids the compression artifacts an MP3 conversion introduces, though the larger file may take longer to upload.
Why are my WAV files so large?
WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so CD-quality stereo uses roughly 10 MB per minute. Converting to a compressed format like FLAC or MP3 reduces the size if you need to save space after transcription.
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.
