An Honest Review of Sonix Transcription Service

What’s the Best Transcription Software for Content Creators?

Whether you watch our YouTube channel or are a member of our Podcast Membership, there’s one thing these things have in common that generally take a massive amount of time: transcribing.

Finding the right transcription software as a language business can mean the difference of saving dozens of work hours each month. This is a key component in making sure you have access to highly accurate transcriptions and subtitles for all of our materials.

So it’s no wonder why we’ve scoured the internet in search of the best transcription software in terms of accuracy, features, and affordability. After using multiple competitors such as Rev.com and SpeedScriber, we’ve found the winner: Sonix 

In this article, we’ll review the software that is making our jobs a lot easier.

The Sonix Difference

While many transcription services do an excellent job with audio in English, not so many automated services work well with Spanish – or any other language for that matter. Especially when you’re on a budget. Sonix helps you automatically transcribe 37 different languages and dialects. And they’re able to do so for just $5-10/hr of audio depending on the plan you choose.

Needless to day, we’re thrilled that Sonix ticks all the boxes for us.

Features

Thanks to features like a custom dictionary so that Sonix remembers difficult or unique words that come up frequently, Sonix has been able to deliver a consistent 90%+ automated accuracy. That means we have far less work to do to get our transcriptions 100% accurate.

ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT TO US FOR PROVIDING TRUSTWORTHY MATERIALS FOR OUR STUDENTS. SONIX CONSISTENTLY GETS US ABOUT 90% OF THE WAY THERE WITH THEIR AUTOMATED TRANSCRIPTION BEFORE WE START TO EDIT IT TO GET IT TO 100%.

Sonix is feature packed, and includes all of the features you’d come to expect from a transcription service such as timestamps, speaker labeling, and subtitle exports. But aside from accuracy and affordability, the features that really sold us are the interactive media player transcripts for our membership, and the ability to realign audio to the transcription. 

The interactive media player transcripts allow our Podcast Membership students to easily follow along with every word in our podcast, and gives them the ability to precisely repeat a section with a click.

And the audio realign function is a game-changer for us. Sometimes we have to make a last minute edit to our podcast audio after the transcription is done, which messes up the transcript time stamps. Now with Sonix, we can realign the edited audio so that the timestamps match up automatically with the new audio.

So if you run a language business, YouTube channel, or podcast in another language, you can’t go wrong with Sonix. We don’t know what we’d do without them!
