Understanding Latvian AIFF 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 AIFF 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 AIFF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian AIFF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIFF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Latvian with Sonix:
Why are my AIFF files so large?
AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio, which works out to roughly 10 MB per minute at CD quality. Converting to a compressed format like MP3 or a lossless codec like FLAC reduces the size if storage or upload time is a concern.
Do AIFF files play on Windows?
Most modern Windows media players and audio editors can open AIFF files, although WAV is the more common uncompressed format on that platform. If a specific program rejects the file, converting it to WAV preserves the audio exactly.
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.
