Frequently asked
Which is more accurate?+
Both are competitive on clean English audio. Sonix has spent years tuning per-language models; Whisper (SoCaptions) is the open-source baseline and competitive on most European and Asian languages.
Can I export an SRT from Sonix and use it in SoCaptions?+
Yes — Sonix exports clean SRT. Drop it into the SoCaptions editor along with your video, pick a style, export an MP4.
Is Sonix worth the per-minute price?+
Yes if your job is reading and editing transcripts (research, journalism, marketing analysis). For captioning short-form video, a flat-priced tool wins on cost.
