Frequently asked questions about
Swahili auto-captioning

How long does it take to auto-caption Swahili videos?

Sonix uses cutting-edge transcription algorithms to caption your Swahili videos in minutes. Our servers can auto-caption a one-hour Swahili video in under 5 minutes. You can then edit and fine-tune using our powerful subtitle editor.

What caption file formats does Sonix export?

Sonix exports Swahili captions in two industry-standard formats: SubRip (.srt) and WebVTT (.vtt). Both formats are compatible with YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and virtually all video platforms and players.

Can I burn captions directly into my Swahili video?

Yes! From the Subtitles menu, you can choose to burn-in the Swahili captions directly into your video. This creates a new video file with permanent, embedded captions that display on any device.

How accurate are Swahili auto-captions?

Sonix delivers 85-99% accuracy for Swahili auto-captioning, depending on audio quality. Clear audio with minimal background noise achieves the best results. Our AI models are trained specifically for Swahili speech patterns.
