Sonix
AI transcription software for audio and video in 54+ languages, with translation, AI summaries and speaker detection
Sonix is transcription software that turns uploaded audio and video into timestamped text, with translation, speaker labels and AI summaries. There is no ongoing free plan, but every new account gets 30 free minutes. Pay-as-you-go costs $10 per hour, and paid plans from $25 per month are listed on its pricing page. It suits people who need to transcribe audio files and recordings.

What Sonix does
Upload an audio or video file and Sonix returns a transcript with timestamps. Speaker diarization marks who said what, and the same files can be transcribed or translated in 54+ languages. From a finished transcript you can produce subtitles, and AI insights add summaries, chapters and sentiment analysis.
The workspace holds more than transcripts. You can add documents next to your recordings and ask questions across all of those files at once. Integrations cover Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Zapier and Adobe Premiere, among others, a mobile app records audio that syncs back to the workspace, and an API is available for developers. On security, Sonix states SOC 2 Type 2 certification, HIPAA compliance and a zero-training policy on customer data.
Pricing comes in two forms. Pay-as-you-go is $10 per hour, prorated to the second, with 5 GB of storage and no AI workspace usage. The CORE, ADVANCED and PRO subscriptions are listed at $25, $50 and $80 per month on its pricing page and bundle 5, 20 or 40 hours of transcription and translation each month. Each includes 1 user, with extra seats at $25 per month. ENTERPRISE is custom priced and adds 1 TB of storage per workspace, unlimited team members and SSO / SAML authentication.
