Understanding Latvian M2V 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 M2V 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 M2V file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian M2V file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from M2V, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Latvian with Sonix:
Can I convert M2V files to text?
Usually not directly, because most M2V files are video-only and contain no audio track. Upload the matching audio file — often a WAV, AIFF, or M2A saved alongside the M2V — then transcribe, edit, and export the text.
Why doesn't my M2V file have any sound?
M2V is an MPEG-2 video elementary stream, so the audio is stored in a separate file until the two are multiplexed during DVD or broadcast authoring. Look for a companion audio file with the same name to find the sound.
How do I create subtitles for an M2V video?
Transcribe the separate audio track that accompanies the M2V: upload the audio, review the transcript in the editor, and export it as an SRT or VTT subtitle file to mux with the video.
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.

What a great transcript experience! I love the work they are doing at Sonix. Their webpage is really simple to use and yet you get everything you need... most of the time there is very little to no editing on the final text.
It's SO fast! I couldn't believe it. It's saved me hours of time.
