Understanding Welsh XSPF files
The main spoken split is between northern and southern Welsh, which differ in vowel pronunciation and everyday vocabulary (for example, llefrith versus llaeth for milk). Colloquial speech also diverges noticeably from formal literary Welsh, and a small Patagonian Welsh community survives in Argentina.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Welsh transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Welsh 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 Welsh XSPF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Welsh 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 Welsh 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 Welsh audio and video?
Yes. Upload your Welsh recording, select Welsh as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit in the browser and export to formats such as DOCX, PDF, and SRT.
Does Welsh transcription handle both north and south Wales accents?
Sonix transcribes Welsh spoken across regions, though vocabulary and pronunciation differ between northern and southern Welsh, so it is worth reviewing regional words in the built-in editor.
Can Sonix transcribe recordings that mix Welsh and English?
Each file is transcribed in one selected language, so choose the language that dominates the recording and correct mixed-language passages in the editor.
