Understanding Basque MTS 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 MTS 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 MTS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Basque MTS file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MTS, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Basque with Sonix:
Why won't my MTS file play on my computer?
MTS files use the AVCHD transport-stream structure, which some default media players do not support, and clips copied out of the camcorder's AVCHD folder can lose playback context. Opening the file in VLC or remuxing it to MP4 usually resolves the issue.
Do I need to convert MTS to MP4 before transcribing?
No. You can upload the MTS file directly, and its audio track is extracted and transcribed the same way as an MP4 upload.
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.
