Understanding Spanish CAF files
Spanish spans two broad families: Peninsular Spanish (Spain) and Latin American Spanish, with notable regional varieties such as Mexican, Caribbean, Andean, and Rioplatense. The most audible differences for speech recognition are Spain's "th" sound for c/z (distinción), the softened or dropped syllable-final "s" in Caribbean speech, and the "sh"-like ll/y of Argentina and Uruguay.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Spanish transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Spanish CAF 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 Spanish CAF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Spanish CAF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from CAF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Spanish with Sonix:
Why won't my CAF file play on Windows?
CAF is an Apple container that most Windows applications do not support natively. You can open it with a third-party player such as VLC, or convert it to WAV or MP3 for broader compatibility.
How large can a CAF file be?
CAF uses 64-bit file offsets, so there is no practical size limit and recordings can run for many hours. This is the main advantage over WAV and AIFF, which are capped at 4 GB.
Does Spanish transcription handle Latin American accents?
Yes. Sonix transcribes Spanish audio from across Latin America — including Mexican, Caribbean, Andean, and Rioplatense speech — as well as Peninsular Spanish from Spain, and the in-browser editor lets you correct any regional wording afterward.
Can Sonix transcribe Castilian Spanish from Spain?
Yes. Spanish from Spain, including the Castilian distinción (the "th" sound for c and z), is supported under the same Spanish language option — upload your file, transcribe, then edit and export.
Can I turn a Spanish transcript into subtitles?
Yes. After transcribing and editing a Spanish file, you can export subtitle formats such as SRT and VTT with ñ and accented characters preserved.
