Understanding Dutch MTS 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 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 Dutch MTS file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Dutch 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 Dutch 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 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.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I'm very impressed about the accuracy. The transcript needs a little editing, but just minor correction. I think the interface is straightforward and user-friendly. I also like the audio-transcript matching playback functionality. I've been very deterred to use recording during my interviews because it takes a tremendous amount of time to transcribe.
I was simply awed by speed and accuracy of your transcription service.
