Understanding Dutch 3GP files
Netherlands Dutch and Belgian Dutch (Flemish) share one written standard but sound noticeably different — Flemish is spoken with a softer "g" and uses more French-influenced vocabulary. Surinamese Dutch and regional accents like Brabantian add further pronunciation differences, though all are handled as accents of the same Dutch language. Limburgish, by contrast, is officially recognized as a distinct regional language in the Netherlands, so treat it separately from accented standard Dutch.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Dutch transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Dutch 3GP 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 Dutch 3GP file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Dutch 3GP file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from 3GP, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Dutch with Sonix:
Why won't my 3GP file play on my computer?
Many desktop media players lack the AMR and H.263 codecs that older 3GP files use. VLC plays most 3GP files, or you can convert the file to MP4 for wider compatibility.
Do I need to convert 3GP to MP4 before transcribing?
No, 3GP files can be uploaded directly for transcription. Converting to MP4 first is optional and mainly useful if you also want a copy in a more widely supported format.
Can Sonix transcribe Flemish (Belgian Dutch)?
Yes. Flemish shares the same written standard as Netherlands Dutch, so Belgian Dutch audio is transcribed with the Dutch language model, and you can adjust regional vocabulary in the transcript editor before exporting.
Is Afrikaans the same as Dutch for transcription?
No. Afrikaans evolved from Dutch but is a distinct language, so choose the language setting that matches your audio rather than treating the two as interchangeable.
Does Dutch transcription handle English words mixed into speech?
Dutch speakers often mix English terms into business and tech conversations, and those loanwords may need light cleanup, which you can do in the built-in editor after the automated transcript is ready.
