CEO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast, automated and highly secure. " September 8, 2022 5.0 I was looking for a cheap and effective audio-to-text converter and I found Sonix. It is simple to use, affordable, and generates transcription within a few minutes. Pros It is easy to use and we can use it to create accurate transcription in multiple languages from any audio we have but only the requirement is the audio must be noise free. I found that it is very user-friendly and we can generate transcription very quickly. Cons It helps us to improve the user experience with highly accurate subtitles for our every video. Review Source RM Richard M. Radio Host Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Really works as advertised!" July 26, 2020 5.0 We were transcribing approx 5-10 minutes of audio everyday and it was the fastest, easiest and most economical of all of the transcription programs we demoed. I highly recommend! Pros The great thing about is the interface and transcription are easy and quick. Several of us in different cities needed access to the transcription and it was easy to share. Cons There really were no cons for us. We used it to transcribe scripts for syndicated radio replay and it was easy. Review Source TG TOM G. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool, saved me a lot of time and money" June 15, 2021 5.0 I really loved the tool and even used it for personal use as a language learner. I loved that there are a lot of export features including the video player with clickable transcript Pros I used for a year transcribing my YouTube videos and using the API to create content from it. It's easy to use, fast and affordable Cons The text editing takes time and the timestamps made me crazy at times. If the language switches in the video (rare case figure for most users I admit) it gets very difficult to get both transcriptions Review Source BC Bernardo C. Graduate student Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Research project - Transcribing interviews" June 28, 2022 5.0 The overall experience is really positive and I will be sure to use the software again in future research projects. Pros The uploading of the audio files works fairly quickly, as well as, the transcription. The quality of the transcript is quite high in terms of accuracy of the language and alternating between speakers. Also it really helps to have the timestamps feature. Cons I think that the voice recognition still has some improvement. It is perfect with English native speakers, but it becomes less accurate with non-native speakers. Review Source NS Nicholas S. Project Manager Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gamechanger technology at affordable prices" August 1, 2023 5.0 Superb. Pros Intuitive functionality and ease of use. Excellent accuracy overall. Cons Some audio transcription was off, though in each case could do little about it due to signal to noise issues (too much background noise or poor microphones present). Review Source MM Marcia M. PhD Student Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PhD research interview transcription" April 25, 2022 5.0 A great experience. I've recommended it to all of my fellow phd students and would use it again. Pros It's super easy to use and picks up on different accents, which was important because my accent was different to all of my subjects. Cons THat I had to pay for it, but that's life ;-) Reason for choosing Sonix Yes Review Source María Magdalena Z. Advisor / Consultant Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not the best, but worth a try!" May 7, 2018 4.0 Pros It's an really good web editor. Innovative with SEO friendly media embeds, and provides good automated service with a nice group of editing tools. Cons Prices are high prices and its performance could be iffy, unreliable if you work with complex files. Review Source Response from Sonix May 10, 2018 Sonix works best with high quality audio. If you audio has background noise, people talking over each other, or strong accents, the resulting transcript will be affected.

May 25, 2023 5.0 I have used to transcribe interviews in an academic project Pros Highly ergonomic, it works even for speeches in noisy environments Cons In Romanian the recognition index is in the range of 80-85% Review Source Moritz H. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Transcription Software with a great price" July 30, 2019 5.0 It helped to save so much time, did not expect that to happen - life saver! Pros \- amazing UI - good quality transcription for German language even though sometimes low quality recording - easy to refine transcription manually - great price, great bargain + you can quit monthly Cons \- to be honest I expected nothing but was amazed, so cannot really say anything although there is always room for improvement like the accuracy of transcription etc. Review Source HanSeok K. Insturctor Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Quick and Handy Automation tool for Busy Teacher" January 28, 2021 5.0 Pros provides me with a highly reliable automatic audio/video transcription service. After uploading the file on the server, usually it takes up to 30-40 seconds to complete the transcription process for a 1 minute audio file. I use it to make an interactive listening practice tool for my students. As it supports a powerful sharing options, I can easily share the contents even on the web itself! Also it has two kinds of offers: subscription or pay-as-go. So I can choose the one that fits my current situation. Cons I have not found anything that I dislike with this tool. Compared to its competitors, nothing had a superior quality or features than Sonix. I am quite sure that I'd love to pay for the subscription even after the free trial (30 minutes).

Transcriber and translator Translation and Localization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Transcription " February 11, 2022 5.0 Awesome Pros The product is easy to use, and I recommend it. Easy to use software Review Source Tyas P. Student International Affairs Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing Transcription Service-Tool" September 28, 2019 4.0 As a student, I often do research on several topics, and I use the services provided by to get all the transcriptions for my research analysis material. Pros It's very easy to use, just by entering a few topics and keywords a very high-quality transcription will appear! Cons Sometimes transcriptions that appear repeatedly and do not fit the topic but only occur if the topic being discussed is indeed less focused and too general Review Source DH Diane H. President Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ideal for podcast transcription" February 4, 2021 4.0 Pros This software integrates with Zoom so seamlessly. Shortly after I finish a recording I get an email telling me that the transcription is complete. And there are time stamps with audio clips that make it so easy to repurpose for marketing. Cons The only thing I can think of is an integration I tried to do that didn't work. It's stuck and I can't figure out how to cancel it. Review Source Elina L. Design Lead Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smart, Practical, Efficient! " October 26, 2017 5.0 Pros Wow. I'm so impressed with this product! Since using Sonix.ai I've been able to edit audio transcriptions (for user research interviews) at lightning speed compared to traditional software. I especially love how intuitive the controls are to pick up - there was literally 0 time spent to learn it! I also really enjoy the ability to dive into the anatomy of the transcript - being able to visualize and break down the files...like automatically detect the software's confidence levels in picking up a word. Makes this an even more powerful tool. Highly recommended - this is one of my favorite arsenal of tools online! Review Source HS Hesham S. DR Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good transcription service" October 19, 2023 5.0 it is very recomandable Pros fast in transcription , very fast realy I liked it Cons some mistakes bei transcription due to bilang usage Review Source GE George E. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best transcription + caption software out there. Can improve on value for money" February 22, 2023 5.0 Overall experience was good.They need to however improve their value for money credentials if they want repeat customers/annual membership customers. Pros 95% accurate transcription + ease of inserting/burning in captions Cons A bit pricey for what it does vs. competition. Review Source DH Dan H. Solution Architect Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Needed to write a training course, fast!" July 11, 2019 5.0 I needed to write an end-user training class and had a very short period of time to do it. I was able to use the transcriptions from recordings of several previous training sessions to define a clear and effective outline to the course. If I had to sit and listen to all those recordings it would have taken me at least 5x as long to write the instructor manual. The cost was very reasonable considering how much time it save me. Pros The time it took to transcribe several hours of audio was incredibly fast. Cons Sometimes it struggles with accents and it was really odd how it would handle male voices differently than female voices - for example the sentence "You might have a tendency to make it last months" spoken by a male might be transcribed as 'You might have a tendency to make it last months" but for a female it would transcribe it as 'You might have a pregnancy to make it last months' - we had a bit of a laugh about that, but it probably had more to do with the speaker's accent than their gender.

Producer / Director Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sonix is a great software fro transcribing interviews" September 12, 2022 5.0 Despite the little problems, overall the product worked great and save us loads of time if we were to manually transcribe the files. Pros What was nice was the fact that we could easily upload files and in short order we received the transcription. We also liked the fact that we could use timecode and find certain sections of the transcription. Cons The recognition software failed a few times where it got the voices mixed up Reason for choosing Sonix had more flexibility and was more usewr friendly. Also Sonix uses an AI software while Trint uses actually people. Review Source CD Charles D. board member Public Safety Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Phenomenally accurate AI transcription" February 24, 2024 5.0 Great. I will use it again, for webinar translations. I am sure Pros Totally phenomenal AI transcription. Close to 100% accurate for our 2 hour meetings. Cons The summaries on Pro were not as complete as Zoom Pros. I am sure that Sonix could make better summaries, because their AI transcription was the best by far. They should have two levels of summaries, the longer one to gather more elaborative details and really separate its level of content more distinctly from bullet points. So there would be Levels I and II in summarizations and also have bullet points available. I could be wrong as I did not have the opportunity to see if that is actually possible to modify in Sonix. Our agency's secretary needed the summary, only for meeting notes. Review Source Francesco P. Owner International Affairs Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product" June 13, 2019 4.0 Pros Easy to learn, easy to use, very useful in case of short time to elaborate documents Cons Italian language is OK, but could be better :-) Review Source SF Sally F. President Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product" July 11, 2023 5.0 Pros is easy to learn, use and deploy. We used it for focus group and interview transcripts, and the level of accuracy was high. I recommend Sonix to anyone doing not-for-profit management consulting and strategic planning with teams. Cons I didn't feel there were any downsides. did what we needed it to do. Review Source David D. Computer Systems Analyst Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect for our requirements" September 1, 2020 5.0 Friendly and professional staff. Pros So far, the results have been spot on. No matter which service you use, you really need to check the output, and this service rarely requires any correction. I trust this is to do with the quality of the recording as well. Cons It appears to be mandatory to find something that we liked least, and I will have to disappoint you because when it does what we need, then all we could wish for is free delivered coffee to the office.

Consultant Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best software for Transcription" December 31, 2023 5.0 Pros Makes very good and accurate transcription, very user friendly software. Review Source MA Monica A. Content Optimizer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worth it!" September 8, 2019 5.0 Love it, will continue to use and refer Pros I love how easy it is to navigate, keep organized and upload what I need. The accuracy is satisfactory and it's one of the most reasonably priced platforms- since research is a service I provide for my clients, I'm confident in knowing that this is simply THE best Cons Not a thing- infact more pros- I LOVE that they added the beta testing to transcribe straight from youtube. Makes it SO much easier when I'm transcribing for my clients- less hand-offs, less downloads on my computer. Please keep this feature. Reason for choosing Sonix Started with the free trial, the user face was practically flawless and SIMPLE. Pricing was totally fair. I liked the reviews I saw and honestly your website was very eye catching for me as well compared to others- didn't feel overwhelmed Review Source JE Javier E.

November 9, 2020 5.0 I loved the option to upload videos that are in other languages and was able to transcribe it. Much better than other softwares out there today. Pros I love that you can see the closed caption in real time and i am loving how accurate the transcribe was in English and Spanish. I am also loving the ease of using this product especially since i am a first time user. I exported the file to use on other program and it was on point. Cons For my first time using this software it worked for what i needed it to do. Reason for choosing Sonix I did try Rev, but they took to long and at the end they were unable to transcribe my video... Switched from [Simon Says](https://www.capterra.com/p/172873/Simon-Says/) Simon Says was unable to transcribe foreign languages.
