Understanding Basque MP4 files
Basque has five main dialect groups in the modern classification, including Biscayan, Gipuzkoan, and the more divergent Zuberoan (Souletin) spoken in France. Most modern media, education, and broadcast content uses Euskara Batua (Standard Basque), the standardized form that speech recognition handles most reliably.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Basque transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Basque 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 Basque MP4 file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Basque 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 Basque 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 Basque audio and video?
Yes. Upload your Basque audio or video file, select Basque as the language, and Sonix generates a transcript you can edit in the browser and export to formats like DOCX, PDF, and SRT.
Does Basque transcription work for regional dialects?
Automated transcription performs best with Euskara Batua (Standard Basque), the form used in most broadcast and educational content. Recordings in traditional dialects such as Zuberoan may require more manual correction in the editor.
What if my Basque recording mixes in Spanish or French?
Code-switching with Spanish or French is common in Basque speech. Transcribe in the dominant language of the recording, then use the built-in editor to correct any mixed-language passages.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
Sonix is so easy to use, and the quality is impressive in almost all languages we have tested so far. Punctuation is especially amazing compared to other platforms, even the tech giants (Google, Microsoft…).
I need to produce very accurate transcripts and the initial transcripts Sonix produces are much better than competitors (I've used many others).
