Understanding Dutch MK3D 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 MK3D 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 MK3D file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Dutch MK3D file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MK3D, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Dutch with Sonix:
Does the 3D video affect transcription of an MK3D file?
No. Transcription uses only the audio track, so the stereoscopic layout stored in the StereoMode field has no effect on the resulting text.
Why won't my MK3D file play on my computer?
Many default media players do not recognize the .mk3d extension or lack stereoscopic support. Players that handle Matroska files, such as VLC, can usually open them, though the video may display as 2D without 3D-capable hardware.
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.
