| The verdict | A transcription service with a transcript based editor that lets you cut audio by deleting text, similar in spirit to Descript. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Editors who think in words rather than waveforms and want to trim interviews by deleting lines of text. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone doing detailed sound design or precise waveform level edits, Sonix's editing granularity is text based. |
| The gotcha | Transcript accuracy varies with accents and crosstalk, so heavily overlapping conversations need manual correction before editing gets clean. |
