Sonix
| Tool | |
|---|---|
| Description | Sonix uses AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to perform transcription, translation, subtitling, and analysis of audio. The platform claims to be up to 97% accurate on transcription projects; for comparison, it says human transcription services claim to be 99% accurate. Sonix can also translate articles, blogs, webinars, YouTube videos, podcasts, and more into 38 major languages. Sonix does not charge for single-user account access to its platform, but transcription or translation services are charged based on a per hour basis. So an individual can keep access to the platform without paying monthly fees. Moving up to a premium or enterprise tier offers better security for the account and less expensive transcription and translation fees. |
