Important Notes
The Sonix editor may lag when a long transcript with many edits is fully loaded.
To mitigate this, Sonix offers a pagination feature, which loads segments into small 10-minute chunks (pages) of the transcript instead of loading the full document all at once.
The pagination option is user-controlled and can be toggled on or off from the editor’s settings.
Step-by-Step Instructions
How to Enable Pagination (for faster editing)
Open a transcript in the Sonix editor.
Locate Preferences in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
In Preferences, turn on the Pagination feature.
Once enabled, the transcript will load in smaller “pages” instead of the entire document, improving load and scroll performance.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Why is my editor still slow even with pagination on?
If your transcript is extremely large or heavily edited, you may still notice some delay. Make sure pagination is enabled and consider working on smaller sections of the transcript at a time.
Can I turn pagination off if I prefer the full transcript view?
Yes. You can disable pagination in Preferences to revert to loading the full transcript (though this may slow performance on large files).
Frequently Asked Questions
Does enabling pagination affect my edits or data?
No. Pagination only changes how the transcript is loaded/viewed. Your edits and data remain intact.
Will pagination always prevent slowness?
It helps significantly, especially for very long or heavily edited transcripts, but some large files may still exhibit slight delays.
Can I use pagination for all my transcripts?
Yes. Pagination is available for any transcript in Sonix. You can toggle it per transcript/session via Preferences.
