How does Sonix generate AI summaries?

After transcribing your audio or video file, Sonix applies advanced AI language models to analyze the full transcript. The AI identifies key themes, important statements, decisions, and action items, then generates a concise summary in your chosen format—paragraph, bullets, or chapters with timestamps.

How long does it take to generate a summary?

Sonix generates summaries in under 30 seconds for most transcripts, regardless of the original recording length. A 2-hour meeting produces a summary just as quickly as a 10-minute call. The AI processes the entire transcript and delivers results almost instantly.

What summary formats are available?

Sonix offers three main summary formats: paragraph summaries for readable overviews, bullet point summaries for scannable lists, and chapters with timestamps for navigable segments. You can also extract specific elements like action items, key quotes, and speaker highlights.

How accurate are AI-generated summaries?

Sonix AI summaries are built on our industry-leading 99% transcription accuracy. The AI captures the key points and themes with high fidelity, but we recommend reviewing summaries for important content—just as you would review notes from any assistant. The summary appears alongside the full transcript for easy verification.

Can I customize what the summary includes?

Yes. Beyond standard summary formats, you can use custom AI prompts to extract exactly what you need—specific data points, particular themes, or outputs in your preferred format. This is especially useful for recurring workflows where you need consistent summary structures.

What content works best for AI summaries?

AI summaries work excellently for meetings, interviews, podcasts, lectures, webinars, and any spoken content with clear discussion points. Content with multiple speakers and distinct topics produces especially useful summaries, as the AI can organize information by speaker and subject.

Why Choose Sonix

The smart choice for transcript summaries

What makes Sonix summaries better than doing it myself?

Manually summarizing an hour-long recording takes 30-60 minutes of focused work. Sonix generates a comparable summary in under 30 seconds. Plus, AI never misses a detail due to fatigue or distraction—every key point gets captured consistently.

How do Sonix summaries compare to meeting note apps?

Meeting apps often provide generic transcription and basic summaries. Sonix offers professional-grade 99% accurate transcription plus flexible summary formats: paragraphs, bullets, chapters, action items, and custom prompts. You get more control over the output and higher accuracy on the underlying transcript.

Can I trust AI summaries for important meetings?

Sonix AI summaries reliably capture key points, but we recommend a quick review for critical content—just as you'd review notes from any assistant. The full transcript appears alongside the summary, making verification fast and easy.

What if the summary misses something important?

The full transcript is always available alongside your summary. If something important was missed, you can find it in the transcript and add it manually. You can also regenerate summaries with different prompts to capture specific aspects you need.
