Human transcription services can be costly and time-consuming, especially when you're regularly producing video content. A professional transcriptionist charges $25 to $40 per hour and may take 48 hours or longer to complete an hour-long video—requiring them to watch multiple times to ensure accuracy.
Sonix transcribes the same content in under five minutes with up to 99% accuracy, at a fraction of the cost. Thanks to artificial intelligence, Sonix produces more accurate transcripts than many manual services while eliminating long turnaround times. Transcribe as many videos as you need, quickly and affordably.
For perfect subtitles, all transcriptions require a little clean-up—especially with terms or phrases unique to your content or industry. These clean-ups are easily achieved with the Sonix in-browser editor.
The editor works like a word processor within your browser, synchronized perfectly with your source video. Click any word to jump to that exact moment in the recording. Make changes, adjust caption timing, and customize subtitle styling without switching between programs. Once you're done editing, export your subtitles as SRT or VTT for YouTube and other platforms, or burn captions directly into your video for social media where caption files aren't supported.

It's simply an amazing resource for anyone working with the spoken or written word.
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 since the release of google maps.
Impressed at how seamless Sonix makes editing transcripts. This is so much easier and more enjoyable than manually writing an entire transcript myself.
One of the best sites/services on the Internet I've ever tried.
The transcription was pretty darn good!
I really enjoyed how quickly and accurate the transcription system was. Will definitely use again in the future. I have recommended you to a friend.
My first trial was a video interview with a woman with an Eastern European accent, and I thought there was no way your system would render a good transcription—but it was amazingly accurate...
The UI experience is fantastic! It's quick and easy to understand. Plus it's web based so I can switch between my desktop and laptop easily.
