Understanding Basque MPG 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 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 Basque MPG file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Basque 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 Basque 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 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
Gobsmackingly amazing! As a software developer of 40 years I know quality when I see it. An amazing product and a pretty damn good web-site to back it all up also. Totally staggered at the accuracy, especially when multiple voices contribute to a meeting.
What I was able to do with Sonix was amazing. Transcribed and translated in minutes on remote Guatemalan WiFi!
