Automated transcription in 53+ languages with high accuracy

Sonix delivers automated transcription using AI models trained on diverse accents and audio qualities. The platform supports over 53 languages, making it suitable for international teams and multilingual projects. Users upload audio or video files, and the system returns a time-coded transcript ready for review.

Business outcome: Reduces transcription time from hours to minutes, enabling faster content publishing and analysis.

Built-in text-based editor for corrections and timestamping

The editor allows users to play back audio while reading the transcript, click on any word to jump to that point in the recording, and make corrections directly. Timestamps are automatically generated and can be adjusted. This is a core feature for professional transcriptionists who need precise control.

Business outcome: Eliminates the need for separate audio and text tools, streamlining the correction workflow and improving final transcript accuracy.

Integrated translation and subtitle export workflows

Sonix includes translation capabilities, allowing users to translate transcripts into multiple languages. It also supports exporting subtitles in SRT, VTT, and other formats, which is essential for video content creators and media teams who need to localize their content.

Business outcome: Enables teams to repurpose content for global audiences without switching between separate translation and subtitle tools.

Team collaboration with shared folders and comments

Teams can create shared folders, invite collaborators, and leave comments on specific parts of a transcript. This is useful for editorial workflows where multiple people need to review and approve transcripts before publication.

Business outcome: Speeds up review cycles and ensures consistency across team projects, reducing back-and-forth email communication.

Flexible export options including Word, PDF, and subtitle formats

Transcripts can be exported in multiple formats — Word, PDF, plain text, SRT, VTT, and more. This flexibility ensures that the output fits into existing publishing, editing, or content management workflows without additional conversion steps.

Business outcome: Reduces manual formatting work and ensures transcripts are ready for their intended use — whether that's a blog post, video caption, or legal document.

API access for custom integrations and automated workflows

Sonix offers an API that allows businesses to integrate transcription directly into their own applications or automated pipelines. This is valuable for media companies, research firms, or any organization that processes large volumes of audio programmatically.

Business outcome: Enables custom automation of transcription workflows, saving time and reducing manual data entry for high-volume users.
