Sonix AI
Sonix AI is an accurate AI transcription service for producers and journalists, supporting over 40 languages and speaker identification.
About
Sonix AI
Sonix.ai is the transcription tool that actually gets it right. Upload your audio or video, get back text that's surprisingly accurate, then polish it up in their slick editor. Multiple languages, speaker identification, custom dictionaries—it's built for people who need reliable transcripts without the headache. Perfect for making your content accessible and searchable.
But transcription is where it starts and stops. Need to actually edit your video? Add graphics? Create a story? That's not Sonix's game. It's a specialist—brilliant at turning speech to text, clueless about everything else. You'll need other tools for the visual side of things. So what's your pain point: getting accurate transcripts or building complete videos? Get both with platforms that combine video to text conversion with full editing suites and social media optimization tools.

Descript
Descript is a video editor for podcasters and YouTubers that allows editing video like text, with features like Overdub and Studio Sound.
About
Descript
Descript flipped video editing on its head—edit video like you edit text. Delete a word in the transcript? That part vanishes from the video. Rearrange sentences? The video rearranges too. It's mind-blowing for podcast and talking-head content. Plus, features like overdub (fixing mistakes with AI voice cloning) and studio sound make it feel like magic.
The text-based approach is revolutionary for speech-driven content, but it's less intuitive for visual storytelling. While they're adding more traditional features, it still feels most natural when your narrative follows a transcript. Complex visual effects and color grading? Not really Descript's strong suit. So what drives your content: the spoken word or the visual story? For comprehensive video editing with text-based features, explore tools that offer MP4 to text conversion alongside full AI video editing capabilities.

Very nice applicaiton. Fast, easy to use and the transcript is very accurate even though I used it for an exotic language. I strongly recommend it.
I came across Sonix by accident while looking for a transcription / video caption solution and boy was I glad I did. This tool is virtually word perfect and the SRT file it output worked perfectly with my video editing software.
The customer service is totally hopeless. There was a technical issue that doesnt allow exporting the subtitles correctly. I asked for help in the chat and literally they replied once per day.

Disappointing AI Voice Generation and Poor Value for Money! [Note: This was the most positive review available - Descript has predominantly negative reviews]
The transcript accuracy is a step up from something I was using several years ago [Mixed review with significant issues noted]
Worst video editing software. Descript has ruined a number of video projects for me and lost me money - lagging audio, glitchy play back and poor customer service.
