Sonix Review
Sonix is a solid pick specifically for transcribing files after the fact, with subtitle export that's genuinely useful for podcasters and video editors.
Pricing is usually pay-as-you-go, which suits occasional or project-based transcription better than a flat monthly fee would.
Is Sonix better than Otter.ai?
Sonix is geared more toward post-production transcription and subtitle export for video and podcast creators, while Otter.ai focuses on real-time meeting transcription. The right choice depends on whether you need live meeting notes or after-the-fact file transcription.
