Understanding Persian transcription

Who transcribes Persian content?

Persian transcription is used by broadcast and diaspora media outlets covering Iran and Afghanistan, academics in Iranian and Middle Eastern studies, and podcasters producing Persian-language shows. It is also common in immigration and asylum casework, NGO field research, and oral history projects documenting Persian-speaking communities.

Persian dialects and accents

Persian has three major national varieties: Iranian Persian (Farsi), Dari in Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which differ in vowel pronunciation, vocabulary, and loanwords. Colloquial spoken Persian, especially the Tehrani register, also diverges noticeably from formal written Persian in verb endings and contractions, which matters when converting speech to standard written text.

Where Persian is spoken

Persian is spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

Frequently asked questions about
Persian interview transcription

How do I transcribe phone or Zoom interviews in Persian?

Record your phone interview using a recording app, or enable Zoom's cloud recording feature. Upload the file to Sonix and we'll transcribe your Persian conversation with speaker identification automatically enabled.

What export formats work best for interviews?

For interviews, we recommend Word or PDF exports which include speaker labels and timestamps. You can also export as plain text for easy copying, or SRT/VTT if you're creating video content with subtitles.

Can Sonix transcribe Dari or Afghan Persian audio?

Yes. Dari is a national variety of Persian, and Persian-language audio from Afghanistan can be uploaded, transcribed, edited, and exported like any other supported language.

Is Farsi the same as Persian for transcription purposes?

Farsi is the local name for Persian as spoken in Iran, so selecting Persian is the correct choice for Farsi audio. The same selection covers Iranian Persian recordings from media, interviews, and meetings.

Does Persian transcription handle right-to-left text?

Yes. Persian transcripts are produced in the right-to-left Perso-Arabic script, and you can edit them in the browser and export to formats such as Word, SRT, and VTT.
