Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about
Swahili subtitles

What's the difference between SRT and VTT subtitles?

SRT (SubRip) is the most widely compatible subtitle format, supported by most video players and platforms. VTT (WebVTT) is the HTML5 standard that supports styling and positioning. Sonix exports both formats so you can use whichever works best for your platform.

How do I add Swahili subtitles to YouTube?

After downloading your SRT file from Sonix, go to YouTube Studio, select your video, click 'Subtitles', then 'Add Language' and choose Swahili. Click 'Add' under subtitles and upload your SRT file. YouTube will automatically sync the subtitles with your video.

Can I customize the subtitle timing?

Yes! Sonix provides precision timing tools in the editor. You can adjust start and end times for each subtitle line, set line breaks, and fine-tune synchronization. Changes are reflected in real-time as you watch the video.

How accurate are Swahili subtitles?

Sonix delivers 85-99% accuracy for Swahili transcription depending on audio quality. Our timing algorithm ensures subtitles appear at exactly the right moment. You can review and edit in our browser-based editor before exporting.

Can I style my subtitles?

VTT format supports basic styling like bold, italic, and positioning. For more advanced styling (fonts, colors, backgrounds), you'll need to use your video editing software or the platform's subtitle customization features after uploading.

How many subtitles can I create?

There's no limit on the number of subtitle files you can create. Sonix charges per minute of audio/video transcribed, not per export. Create as many subtitle files as you need from a single transcription.

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!
