Understanding Basque OGV 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 OGV 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 OGV file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Basque OGV file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from OGV, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Basque with Sonix:
Is an OGV file the same as an OGG file?
No. Both use the Ogg container from Xiph.Org, but OGV holds video (typically Theora), while the OGG extension is reserved for audio-only files encoded with Vorbis.
Why won't my OGV file play on my computer?
OGV relies on codecs like Theora and Vorbis that are not preinstalled on every operating system. Players such as VLC support it natively, or you can install Xiph.Org's codec components for other software.
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
I’m stunned how much easier it makes life. I worked on documentary films and it cost us a fortune to have the interviews transcribed. The idea that this exists is mind-boggling to me.
I found the software to be really fun to use. Sonix makes the painful editing part of transcription enjoyable.
