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.

Pictory.ai is an AI tool that turns scripts or long videos into short, branded clips—perfect for content repurposing.

About

Pictory

Pictory.ai turns your written content into video—no camera required. Drop in a blog post, script, or long-form video and it builds a complete piece using AI voiceovers, stock footage, captions, and smart scene editing. It’s built for marketers, bloggers, and business owners who need video content but don’t want to be on camera. It’s a solid solve for the “I have words but no footage” problem.

That automation comes with a trade-off: generic stock visuals and flat narration can creep in if you don’t step in and personalize. The AI’s stock selection might miss your brand tone, and the voiceovers can feel a little robotic. For best results, you’ll want to customize with your own visuals or sprinkle in branded b-roll. If you're after scale, Pictory delivers. Just know it works best when you bring your own creative seasoning to the mix.

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.

I was able to navigate throughout the platform fairly easily. I loved the process, but the only thing I didn't like was the watermark at the end of my videos...almost forces you to pay for a plan. Other than that I've already told others about Pictory.

The interface is easy to navigate but AI video in general has a long way to go. It generates very generic images but if you work with it you can make it work.
