Understanding Urdu MOV files
Standard Urdu is based on the Delhi (Khari Boli) variety, while Dakhini Urdu is spoken across the Deccan region of southern India, including Hyderabad. Because most Pakistanis speak Urdu as a second language, accents are shaped by first languages such as Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, and Saraiki — useful context when transcribing interviews recorded across different regions.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Urdu transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Urdu MOV 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 Urdu MOV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Urdu MOV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MOV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Urdu with Sonix:
Do I need to convert MOV to MP4 before transcribing?
No. MOV files can be uploaded and transcribed directly, and because both containers typically carry the same audio codecs, converting first adds a step without changing the result.
Why won't my MOV file play on Windows?
Some MOV files use Apple codecs such as ProRes that Windows media players do not decode by default. Playing the file in a codec-rich player like VLC, or converting it to MP4, usually resolves the issue.
Can Sonix transcribe Urdu audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your Urdu audio or video file, let Sonix transcribe it automatically, then review and edit the transcript in the browser-based editor before exporting.
Should I choose Urdu or Hindi for my recording?
Spoken colloquial Urdu and Hindi are largely mutually intelligible, so the practical difference is the output script. Choose Urdu for a Perso-Arabic script transcript and Hindi for Devanagari.
Does Urdu transcription handle Pakistani and Indian accents?
Urdu is spoken with regional accents across Pakistan and India, including Dakhini in the south. Sonix transcribes standard spoken Urdu, and the synchronized editor makes it straightforward to review and correct accent-heavy passages.
