Understanding Latvian MP4 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 MP4 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 MP4 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian MP4 file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MP4, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Latvian with Sonix:
Do I need to extract the audio from an MP4 before transcribing it?
No. Because MP4 is a container that holds both video and audio streams, the audio track can be read directly from the file, so you can upload the video as is.
Why does my MP4 file play video but no sound?
The file may contain a video stream with no audio track, or its audio may use a codec your player does not support. Checking the file's stream details in a tool like VLC or re-exporting it with an AAC audio track usually resolves the issue.
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.

The recording I transcribed was poor quality at best, so I was pleasantly surprised by how accurately Sonix captured the text. And your editor is absolutely brilliant!
Sonix is the best transcription program I've ever used. It was almost error-free. I wish I could have used it longer!
