Understanding Latvian AIF files
Latvian has three traditional dialect groups: the Middle dialect, which forms the basis of standard Latvian, plus the Livonian and Upper Latvian (High Latvian) dialects. Latgalian, spoken in eastern Latvia, diverges enough in pronunciation and vocabulary that it is often treated as a distinct written variety, so speech recognition works best with standard Latvian speech.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Latvian transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Latvian AIF file that you upload to Sonix. Please use high quality recording equipment, recording in a quiet environment, and ensure that your speakers are speaking clearly to ensure that your transcript is as accurate as possible.
Any advice for the Latvian AIF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian AIF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Latvian with Sonix:
What is the difference between AIF and AIFF files?
They are the same Audio Interchange File Format; .aif is simply the shortened three-character extension. Any application that opens AIFF files can open AIF files.
Why are my AIF files so large?
AIF stores uncompressed PCM audio, so a CD-quality stereo recording takes roughly 10 MB per minute. The upside is that no audio detail is lost to compression, which also makes the files well suited to transcription.
Can Sonix transcribe Latvian audio and video files?
Yes. Upload your audio or video file, select Latvian as the spoken language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit, search, and export in formats such as DOCX, PDF, and SRT.
Does Latvian transcription keep diacritics like ā, č, and ž?
Yes. Transcripts preserve the full Latvian alphabet, including macrons and carons, in both the online editor and exported files.
Does Latvian transcription handle Latgalian speech?
The Latvian language model is built around standard Latvian, which is based on the Middle dialect. Strongly Latgalian speech from eastern Latvia may transcribe less consistently and usually benefits from a manual review pass.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I’m stunned how much easier it makes life. I worked on documentary films and it cost us a fortune to have the interviews transcribed. The idea that this exists is mind-boggling to me.
I have a 30-40 minute commute to work and like to dictate memos and other brief documents along the way–but I haven't had an easy way to get them transcribed...until now. Thanks Sonix!
