Basque QT, in detail

Understanding Basque QT 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.

Basque QT conversion FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How to improve the accuracy of your Basque transcripts?

Start by improving the quality of the Basque QT 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 QT file that I upload?

Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Basque QT file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.

Aside from QT, do you support other types of audio/video files?

Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Basque with Sonix:

Is a QT file the same as a MOV file?

Both use Apple's QuickTime container format; .qt is the older extension and .mov is the current standard. The contents are structurally the same, which is why most tools treat them identically.

Why won't my QT file open in my media player?

Some modern players only recognize the .mov extension even though the container is the same. Renaming the file from .qt to .mov often restores playback, though very old files may use discontinued codecs that require conversion.

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.
