What's new in SonaFact
Online call recording without a bot, subtitles burned into video, a timeline subtitle editor, version history, an AI assistant connected to your recordings and dozens of small things that save minutes on every transcript.
Record and upload
Online call recording
Starter and upA meeting in Meet, Teams or Zoom in the browser? Record the tab sound together with your microphone — no bot joining the call. A reminder to tell the others stays on screen while you record.
Import from a link
Starter and upPaste a link to a file or a Dropbox or Google Drive share. SonaFact fetches the recording itself — no need to download it first.
Title from the conversation
Starter and up“IMG_4821.m4a” says little. After transcription the recording gets a title from what the conversation was about. Prefer your own? One switch turns it off.
The same file twice
Every planUploading a recording you already transcribed? SonaFact notices and offers the ready transcript instead of counting the hours again.
Fix things faster
Playback from 0.5× to 3×
Every planSlow down for a hard passage, speed up where everything is clear. Skip 5 seconds back and forth, and the current word lights up as you listen.
Keyboard shortcuts
Starter and upSpace pauses and resumes, and after a pause the recording steps back a moment — so you hear the end of the sentence you are fixing.
Glossary straight from the editor
Every planSelect a misspelled name and add it to the glossary without leaving the transcript. SonaFact shows how many words the glossary fixed. CSV import and export from Starter.
Speaker name suggestions
Starter and upIs “Speaker 2” Anna? SonaFact suggests the name if it came up in the conversation — and shows the sentence it knows it from. One click to accept.
Reviewed parts
Starter and upTick off the parts you have checked and SonaFact counts how much of the transcript is reviewed. With long interviews you know where you stopped.
Undo and version history
Starter and upEveryone can undo the last change. From Starter — full 30-day version history: restore the transcript from before any edit.
Language at every part
Every planIn a recording with two languages, every utterance shows its language. From Starter you filter by language and get language marks in exports.
AI documents in one click
Key quotes
Starter and upA ready button picks sentences worth quoting — and checks each one word for word against the recording. A quote that was never said does not get through.
Follow-up email
Starter and upA draft message to the participants: decisions, tasks, deadlines. Read it and send it.
Post and quiz
Pro and upA social post from a conversation, interview or podcast — and a quiz from the content for a lesson or training.
Subtitles and video
Subtitles burned into video
Starter and upUpload the video, choose size, colour, background and position, see a preview — and download a finished video for Instagram, TikTok or a presentation.
Subtitle profiles
Starter and upOne click: vertical video (Shorts, Reels, TikTok), TV or subtitles for children. From Pro set your own limits for characters, lines and reading speed.
Timeline subtitle editor
Pro and upDrag a subtitle edge on the timeline, split it at the playhead, merge it with the next one. Preview on your own video — the video stays on your computer. Subtitles too fast to read are marked.
Your own SRT and VTT
Pro and upHave subtitles from another program or a translation from a translator? Upload the file — even in a language the recording does not have yet — and fix it in the editor.
All languages in one ZIP
Pro and upThe original and every subtitle translation at once, in SRT or VTT, in one file.
Exports for editors
Pro and upEDL, FCPXML, Premiere XML and JSON with timecode and frame rate — markers land right on the timeline in your editing app. Facebook SRT from Starter.
Order, security, connections
Link to a moment
Every planCopy a link to a specific sentence in the transcript. Whoever opens it lands exactly there.
7-day bin
Every planIf you want it — a deleted recording waits 7 days and can be restored. Off by default: “delete” means delete until you change it.
Two-step sign-in
Every planA code from an authenticator app and backup codes — on every plan, at no extra cost.
Your AI assistant with your recordings
Pro and upConnect your AI assistant to your recordings in SonaFact. It can browse and search them — read-only, and only while you allow it.
API
StudioKeys in Settings: send recordings by link and fetch transcripts in every format from your own systems.
Rate a transcript
Every planThumbs up or down and a few words on what went wrong. We get quality data — not the content of the recording.
“Transcript ready” email
Every planA long recording? Close the tab — SonaFact lets you know by email. Switch in Settings.
