The case
One clock or two
Sonix keeps two clocks: the hours of transcription and the hours of its AI workspace, and a customer watches both. Add a seat, and the seat costs $25 a month but brings no hours with it. We keep one clock, no minute limit of audio a month, and the price of the plan does not move with the length of the file or the number of people in it.
How to move a file to this service
- 1
Measure the work in hours
Sonix sells 5 hours in Core, 20 in Advanced and 40 in Pro, and an extra hour costs $10. We sell no minute limit a month, and the minute is the unit you already count in.
- 2
Send the file to the widget
Audio and video go on the upload block above. One file is up to 30 minutes, and a longer recording has to be split before it is sent.
- 3
Turn on the speaker split
When two people talk, the transcript should say who. Switch the split by speaker on and every line names the voice that said the words.
- 4
Take the format that fits
TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT and CSV come out of any plan, DOCX with Pro. Sonix offers DOCX, PDF, TXT and the two subtitle formats; we add Markdown and CSV for sheets and scripts.
Tips
Count the hours before you count the plans.
Check what an extra seat adds: hours or nothing.
A file 30 minutes on the free plan has to be split first.
Ask for a speaker split on long interviews.
