"Easy solution for transcribing audio/video into text"

4/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Upon uploading an audio/video file, it automatically converts into text, and it is pretty accurate. This tool has actually saved my huge time to transcribe any audio and video files manually. Besides, it is also possible to directly upload files from cloud storage app such as Google Drive & Dropbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

It only allows uploading files to convert them into text, but it does not allow live speech to text conversion. Also, the pricing plan is per hour, which is quite expensive compared to other existing solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sonix.ai Transcription, Caption and Translation service is AMAZING!"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Sonix answers the need for quality transcription, caption, and translation of video and audio. High points include a clean and organized user interface, user roles and user management, workflows, reporting, and massive dictionary capabilities.

The system's workflow does require human review to ensure grammar, words, etc., are correct, but the benefit of that is you have better knowledge of your unwritten/unscripted content.

Importantly, when using Sonix for closed-captioning, you can set character length limits and caption display times to automate timestamps for caption display, no manual intervention needed,

The Sonix 'SEO Player' is very cool. Rather than showing closed captioning, it displays the transcription beneath the video and highlights the text to keep it in sync with the video.

Sonix is fast and dirt cheap, and their support team take the time to listen and respond. I've requested three features that they actually implemented! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Really, nothing at this point. It's exciting to see the growth of the product. I cannot WAIT to get this Sonix.ai fully integrated within our JAMstack environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sonix (sonix.ai) solving and how is that benefiting you?

What’s really cool about Sonix is that, once you have the caption timestamps all aligned and you’re happy with the file, you can translate the content in up to 35+/- languages, and those translations retain the timestamps of the original English version.

Exporting the final result is simple and direct, and easy to manually integrate with videos on Wistia and Vimeo, and you have other options to export transcriptions for various purposes.

Sonix gives you so many possibilities to re-use video content just by producing transcriptions, speaker names, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accurate transcription that saves me time and my clients money"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Transcription accuracy even when audio is low quality, and the intuitive editor that pairs A/V with the transcription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

I love everything about this software - nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sonix (sonix.ai):

If you need fast, accurate transcription software, give Sonix a try! Added bonus: Sonix's editing interface is as easy to use as it is clever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sonix (sonix.ai) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like most people who have better things to do (which is pretty much all of us), I can't stand the grind of doing manual transcriptions. It's a frustrating chore: stopping the recording every couple of seconds, entering text into a document, rewinding, playing, writing, etc. As a writer and content manager who charges by the hour, this process was costly to my clients. On top of that, this tedious task was mentally draining.

The first recording that Sonix transcribed for me was poor quality at best, and the software informed me of this, letting me know that the accuracy might not be that high. I was amazed by how accurately its AI captured the text - I estimate it got about 95% of the text right.

The intuitive editing interface is a joy to work with - the video, audio, and transcription text are synced up in a way that allows me to breeze through any minor tweaks to the text.

Sonix gives me more time to do what my clients pay me to do: write and manage content. It's freed me of a task that impacts my ability to do what I do best - it's hard to focus and be creative after dragging your mind through hours of manual transcription. On top of that, the efficiency and productivity boosts that I gain translate into significant savings for my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AMAZING RESOURCE: time and money saver"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

I actually found this software because I had so much audio to transcribe and after sitting and attempting to transcribe by rewinding and listening to my audio - I was considering finding an affordable transcriptionist.

I found Sonix.ai and I literally had hours of audio transcribed in MINUTES about FIVE!!!!! MINUTES for HOURSSSS

So yea, very excited about that.

Also love that the transcription comes with audio markers - so if there’s a part that isnt clear, you can just click on the audio and you listen to that specific section instead of having to scroll through the main file searching...

ALSO, you can download the transcription as a WORD document!!!!

ALSOOOO, the price!

It’s quality service at an assessable price.

ALSOOOOO, customer service interaction has been pretty awesome (Thanks TAYLOR!!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

What’s not so great is that the transcription isnt perfect, but honestly it’s good enough. And I can easily just read it, identify where it seems off and then listen and correct.

You definitely have to read through everything though before you share or send off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sonix (sonix.ai):

Honestly as a solopreneur who wears so many hats and a measured budget - this has been a real answer to prayers (literally).

If you have audio that you need to transcribe- this is it.

Just make sure that your audio is clear to ensure the best possible results (speaking from experience) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sonix (sonix.ai) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time and money.

IT would have been a significant investment to hire someone to do what this software has done.

Plus, the time I get back is invaluable.

Because I now have this resource, I will be talking through a lot more projects and then simply getting them transcribed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sonix is my go-to for captions and snippets!"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

I can edit audio but just crossing out words mid-sentence, right from my finished transcription. Super helpful for when I convert audio from podcast into scripted snippets for social media. I can just drag the srt file directly into Premiere Pro! Not only is Sonix changing the way we receive and edit our transcriptions, it's completely revolutionizing the way we edit audio by cutting out the middleman. A Podcaster's Dream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

I haven't been able to identify true weaknesses yet. I hope to see Sonix continue to evolve and adapt with the digital landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use for Social Media needs and snippets -- Works great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sonix (sonix.ai) solving and how is that benefiting you?

As stated before, I can just drag the srt file directly into Premiere Pro.. That is unbelievably helpful, takes no time at all, and allows me to get back to doing what I love most, recording and making Podcasts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great price, super fast, and the editing / transcription tool is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Nothing so far. I'm stretching here but I wish there was a Sonix mobile app that would make it easy to record interviews on my Android phone then automatically upload it to Sonix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use the free trial — you get 30 minutes for free. Good way to test the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sonix is really useful for transcribing audio files, such as interviews. It's the best option of the several I've tried. The ability to transcribe audio from videos looks really good too but I haven't used it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saving me lots of time"

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

It saves me from having to manually transcribe interviews. It gives you guidelines on how to record your audio to get the best transcription, but if you have a sub-par audio file, it will work with that too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Sometimes, exporting transcripts can take a while, and they can also be corrupted on download, although I haven't seen this behavior recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love Sonix! Best transcription service. "

5/5

What do you like best about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Easy to use, powerful, and the right price. I love how the audio is stitched to the text. The editor is so good too. Sonix.ai is the best transcription service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sonix (sonix.ai)?

Nothing really. If the audio isn’t clear, then you have to spend more time cleaning it up. Having said that, the Sonix editor is so good and it’s better than transcribing it myself or through another traditional service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
