Understanding Latvian MPG 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 MPG 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 MPG file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian MPG file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MPG, 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 MPG and MPEG files?
They are the same format; .mpg is simply the three-letter version of the .mpeg extension, dating from systems that limited extensions to three characters. Both play and transcribe identically.
Why won't my MPG file play on my phone or Mac?
Some modern devices and players omit MPEG-2 decoding support, often for licensing reasons. A player such as VLC handles MPG files on most platforms, or the file can be converted to MP4 for broader compatibility.
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.
