Understanding Welsh M2V files
The main spoken split is between northern and southern Welsh, which differ in vowel pronunciation and everyday vocabulary (for example, llefrith versus llaeth for milk). Colloquial speech also diverges noticeably from formal literary Welsh, and a small Patagonian Welsh community survives in Argentina.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Welsh transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Welsh M2V 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 Welsh M2V file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Welsh M2V file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from M2V, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Welsh with Sonix:
Can I convert M2V files to text?
Usually not directly, because most M2V files are video-only and contain no audio track. Upload the matching audio file — often a WAV, AIFF, or M2A saved alongside the M2V — then transcribe, edit, and export the text.
Why doesn't my M2V file have any sound?
M2V is an MPEG-2 video elementary stream, so the audio is stored in a separate file until the two are multiplexed during DVD or broadcast authoring. Look for a companion audio file with the same name to find the sound.
How do I create subtitles for an M2V video?
Transcribe the separate audio track that accompanies the M2V: upload the audio, review the transcript in the editor, and export it as an SRT or VTT subtitle file to mux with the video.
Can Sonix transcribe Welsh audio and video?
Yes. Upload your Welsh recording, select Welsh as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit in the browser and export to formats such as DOCX, PDF, and SRT.
Does Welsh transcription handle both north and south Wales accents?
Sonix transcribes Welsh spoken across regions, though vocabulary and pronunciation differ between northern and southern Welsh, so it is worth reviewing regional words in the built-in editor.
Can Sonix transcribe recordings that mix Welsh and English?
Each file is transcribed in one selected language, so choose the language that dominates the recording and correct mixed-language passages in the editor.
