Simple to use, are time is cumulative and, mainly, results are very good and come with an auto-grading. Cool.

Great platform to get fast and great transcriptions and translations. And easy to work with.

Comfortable, fast, and moderately accurate, given that it was transcribing Czech, which is not a widespread and easy language. I apprecciate the range of languages available.

Excellent online transcription service. Easy to use, fast, accurate (especially when provided with clear recordings), and reasonably priced. Will not hesitate to use again for future projects!

I'm researching for 2 books and conducting interviews, and I couldn't do without this tool. I have paid for transcribers in the past and it costs a fortune, and using this tool, I can download each interview, get the tool transcribing it, and then make the minor adjustments to words that the tool couldn't pick up with ease because of the great format and drop down menus to add speakers' names. I love it, and it keeps me in control of the work that I'm doing.

I have been looking into a tool which would easily convert an audio file into a vtt file (used to display captioning over a video or for acessibility purposes). With the added difficulty that it had to do so in French Canadian. A search lead me to Sonix. The app is very easy to use, the functions are intuitive (eg. locate and upload the audio file, select the type of destination file and submit the job. It processed a 5-minutes audio file within less than a minute, and I got an email almost immediately, provoding me the link to my file. I was able to refine the output (less than 80 characters in one single line) and I was able to download the resulting file easily. It was accurate to 94%, which is comparable to other much pricier solution. There are a variety of subscription plans, ranging from hourly rate to a monthly commitment which seem reasonable compared to the amount of time one would need to do this work manually. The tool has a file editor you can use to proof the results and build a custom dictionnary for your future projects but I didn't use it, might give it a try next time. But a vtt files is easy to review and edit in a basic text editors (i.e. Notepad or similar) as long as you respect the format (time and linefeed markers). I will most certainly use Sonix again the next time I need to convert an audio file and recommend it.

Excellent experience !

The tool is quite handy to transcribe videos. Although it is not 100% perfect, it saves a lot of time by providing almost 90% accurate video to text conversions. It needs some improvement with punctuation, but I think it depends a lot more on the speaker's voice quality. Its side-by-side text editing feature is something I love; it makes text editing faster and easy.
