The recording I transcribed was poor quality at best, so I was pleasantly surprised by how accurately Sonix captured the text. And your editor is absolutely brilliant!
The process was super easy. I liked that you can upload video file without stripping away the audio first to do it, this of course saves production time. Great job overall for sure!!!
I'm very happy with the experience. The Spanish translations are superb. I'm in awe!
Surprisingly accurate transcription across a number of European accents (Yorkshire, Scottish, Oxford, Italian!)
The UI is da bomb with so many great features including the one where I can highlight a passage and download as a clip. So very useful! It’s editing and transcription combined!!
