Functionality

Pros:

Automatically transcribe AND translate into different languages. Really great as a video editor working in multiple languages. Makes it so easy, not many platforms allow you to do that.

Cons:

If you need to transcribe and translate a interview, for example, it costs double- first eats into your credits by transcribing in native language and then again if you choose to translate. It would be great to automatically do that function as one purchase- rather than doubling the cost.

Reasons for switching to Sonix

Trint was slow, unreliable and overall a pain in rear. Working with Sonix has been a breeze since it utilizes AI (which is extremely accurate) so no waiting around for a human transcriber.

Pros:

I did like that I could easily upload my coaching calls and take notes on them based off of the transcript.

Cons:

Where do I start...first of all, it did not transcribe all of my calls properly and would sometimes make it look like there was just one speaker speaking in paragraphs which wasn't helpful at all. Secondly, the pricing structure is unclear and WAY too expensive for what it is. And my favorite part - when I reached out to support because I panicked when I saw what was charged to my account, they were VERY rude and antagonizing rather than just explaining to me why I was charged that amount and trying to keep me as a customer. Seriously...you guys need to hire better people because that was ridiculous.

Awesome value for money! $10 per transcription hour is perfect for our small usage.

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.

Reasons for switching to Sonix

Much more reliable! Also takes much less time, as you can upload the audio file without having to play it in realtime.

It's so accurate, it's scary!

It goes beyond transcription. It actually enhances the transcripted dialogue by automatically cutting out all the repeated words as well as all the "hums" "erms" "aahs" which leaves the speaker free to talk naturally. Also, the timestamps for the subtitles are 100% accurate. And The ability to customize pretty much anything is truly handy. But the cherry on top of the cake is that my trial video was bilingual and the AI didn't miss a beat. My original speech was in Portuguese with words here and there in English and despite the fact that I set up the transcription to Portuguese, all English words were transcribed correctly in English, including capitalization and THAT is waaaay beyond expected. So, to whoever is behind the screen, nice one, people! I'm sure it was a lot of hard work but it certainly paid off. You guys have created the best product on the market by a mile. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Surprisingly accurate and super easy to edit

Pros:

It's accuracy for transcribing conversations How simple it is to edit and export the transcript The embed code so I can add a transcript AND a player to my website and even pull the original MP3 from my podcast host so that those plays count towards my stats. THE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Cons:

The pricing structure is difficult to grasp at first. I would still try to simplify it because it's confusing. You get charged a membership fee which then gives you access to transcription services which are billed based on usage. I now understand that they do this so you don't have to be paying monthly for transcription which you might not need but then you're paying a membership anyway… Also, I'd like to be able to save snippets and common words to improve the AI and make my editing process easier but that's a very minor thing.

Pros:

It's an amazing achievement that saves hours of your time transcribing and timecoding for video. It's incredibly easy to use and set-up for the first time.

Cons:

Loved everything about the software, didn't found any bug or error so far. Speech-to-text transcription is a very hard affair and it's very understandable that it won't be a 100% perfect outcome, but it gets around 80-90% perfect, just needs a little check on some words and that's it.
