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!

I am a video editor and I found you by trying a few services with free trials. Sonix was far, far superior as well as an easy process to trial enroll.
