I needed software to transcribe YouTube and Teams videos, and iPhone voice memos. Excellent experience with Sonic. I highly recommend this product.

Pros

Sonic made this process of going from recording to transcription very, very smooth and simple. An easy-to-use product with very accurate transcription.

Cons

I don't do that much transcription, so I don't need a monthly plan. It would be nice if there were savings on the pay-as-you-go plan as the number of hours purchased scales.

Excellent. It was very easy to use and customer attention was beyond excellent. I was helped by someone and got hours refunded immediately when I did encounter a problem.

Pros

I have used many transcribe apps and this is the best I have found, perfect voice recognition of all speakers and very, very few paragraph gaps, which were mostly due to the quality of the audio. I recommend it 110%

Cons

I accidentally uploaded the same file twice and it transcribed it without recognizing it was the same file as the prior one. However, I was helped by a Customer Assistant and refunded the hours immediately.

### "Nothing short of magic"

5.0

June 10, 2026

Pros

Easy to use and great value for money. The way it transcribed, translated and created subtiles between obscure languages (in my case Mongolian video to Swedish subtitles) with speed and accuracy was nothing short of magic!

Cons

As I use transcription/subtitling only sporadically, it was too expensive to keep the subscription going "just in case".

Great for university students or professionals that dont really like taking notes. Pricing-wise its a bit steep, but surely the best avaliable in the market.

Pros

Perfect results even for foreign languages (namely portuguese), very clear results with variable audio quality.

Cons

Pricing is a bit weird, as it hardly ever allows you to know how much you are going to be paying in the end of the month.

Great US made product, excellent customer service, great business ethics, efficient technology, functional interface.

Pros

Great team, excellent communication and customer service. The right tool: a large multilingual audio file (English and French) was transcribed into text with time codes - very good results.

Cons

Pricing model is a bit complicated. A feature to delete files permanently and immediately without waiting etc. should be available.

Pros

I would recommend it to anyone who has a big project. Very accurate program for Spanish and English transcriptions. Speaker recognition is 6/10 but that's not that important, the accuracy is what really matters here. The interface is very user friendly and I like that you can download an entire folder insted of donwloading each transcript individually.

Cons

22 usd monthly just to keep an account active is just too much and not worth it if you have few audios/videos to transcribe. Ideally, I would be paying 10 usd monhtly + the cost of each hour.

Excellent transcription service - very accurate even when transcribing the difficult New Zealand accent. Transcription quality and AI theme identification were exceptional

Pros

It's totally intuitive, user friendly, accurate and fast. I also used the AI theme identification tools to great effect. Work that would have taken me 40 plus hours to complete, was achieved in minutes.

Cons

I had no issues at all. In NZ dollar terms, it's not cheap (but nothing is!) and it delivered a great result.

They were perfectly nice to us as very small users, although it's clear that they are set up to handle much higher-capacity projects than ours! The hourly pricing made it possible to use their service at our modest level, and of course I am sharing the information with other people in my field who also need to create .srt files for their videos, so eventually we will be bringing them more business.

Pros

I love this software. It's better than any other speech-recognition software I have used, and it doesn't seem to have much trouble with technical terms, either. Plus, there's a dictionary function so you can teach it unusual terms you need it to recognize.

Cons

I would love to be able to use it offline as a downloadable program, but I guess that's not possible. Note that if you want to not pay for the minutes of "credits music" at the end, you will need to trim the end part of the soundtrack. Lead-in music you need unless you are going to go through the .srt file and time-offset everything.

Nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend.

Pros

The initial trial (which was free and did NOT require any payment information from me in order to try it out), provided more than enough insight into the software's functionality & quality. From the first upload, Sonix provided me with the most quality transcription I'd ever seen. I've tried multiple transcription services in the past; Sonix provided quality results, has an easy to navigate platform, and seamlessly connected with Zoom (my primary method for recording conversations) - an added bonus.

Cons

One \*very\* minor complaint is the speed by which recording is transcribed, but for the quality it’s worth the wait. Other than that small thing, there’s really nothing I dislike about the software, but there are a couple of improvements and/or additions I’d like to see. First, a direct recording & transcription function built into the Sonix.ai platform (something like a speech to text function). This would be tremendously useful for me – especially if it extended to a mobile app and/or mobile site (to help capture those “organic” / “on the fly” conversations that happen so often throughout the day). Second (and I’m not sure this is even possible but raising it nonetheless), would be the ability to upload zoom meeting links (to have them transcribed) that I don’t own, but that I have access to.
