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

Sonix is an incredible service! And while no AI is perfect, Sonix AI is close to perfection. I am very happy with it.

If I were to add anything to my wish list, it would be the ability to to convert video to MP3 on the website (no big deal as there are other online services available) or even better, just upload video files for transcription for an all inclusive one stop website. But this wish is by no means a deal breaker. I Am recommending your service to everyone and I know hundreds of working professionals in media related areas.

Love the fact different file types for subtitles can be exported Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Needs the ability to upload video

Files not just audio files.

Would be nice if service included an AI for automated translation. Currently using 3 separate services: Video to audio conversion, 2) Sonix 3) AI translation service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

no problems and as an educator it is allowing me to quickly add subtitles to videos in multiple languages. Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like how it is almost accurate and it makes our lives much easier.

Apart from that, it also mentions the accuracy with which it transcribes and I honestly like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes, it doesn't detect international accents. It then becomes a tedious task to listen to the entire audio or watch the entire video to correct some words or sentences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We run a lot of events at work and almost always, we're required to produce content out of it. Using transcripts easily helps us identify what the speaker is saying and use it in our marketing assets.

Apart from that, it is so quick that it makes our lives easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

Previously, transcribing audio and video files into the text used to take much time as I had to do it manually, but now with Sonix, it is done automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

(Original )Information
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.
