Understanding Latvian XSPF 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 XSPF 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 XSPF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Latvian XSPF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from XSPF, 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 an XSPF file to text?
Not directly, because an XSPF file is a playlist that contains no audio data, only references to audio files. Locate the MP3, WAV, or OGG files it points to, upload those to Sonix to transcribe them, then edit and export the transcript.
How do I find the audio files referenced in an XSPF playlist?
Open the XSPF file in a text editor or a player like VLC; each track's location tag lists the file path or URL of the actual audio file. Those referenced files are what you upload for transcription.
What is the difference between XSPF and M3U playlists?
Both are playlist formats that reference external audio files rather than storing audio themselves. XSPF organizes its entries with structured XML tags, while M3U is a simpler plain-text list of file paths.
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.
