Trusted by filmmakers worldwide
I have been a dialogue system researcher for half a decade now. I had build my own app for doing the transcriptions. Sonix was clearly better than what I had. I made the switch!
Sonix is top class. I would highly recommend Sonix. Especially working in a multi-lingual environment like the European Parliament.
The transcription was pretty darn good!
Your service is very impressive and I love the UI. And that's an AI expert speaking ;-)
I had been using Dragon voice recognition software, but Sonix eliminates that step all together. I absolutely love Sonix.
Time is money, and that is exactly what Sonix is saving. Time! So it's worth every penny!!
It's SO fast! I couldn't believe it. It's saved me hours of time.
Very high accuracy transcription with noisy tapes / accents. The ability to edit as you listen is incredible. I haven't been impressed with code to this extent sin...
