Frequently Asked Questions

How many languages does Sonix support?

Sonix currently supports 53 languages for transcription and translation.

Can I translate the same transcript into multiple languages?

Yes. A single transcript can be translated into multiple different languages.

If a single transcript contains multiple supported languages, it can still be translated. However, all spoken languages in that transcript will be translated into one selected target language at a time. You can then translate it again into another language if needed.

Do I need to re-transcribe to translate again?

No. Once the transcript is complete, you can translate it as many times as needed.
