Understanding Dutch XSPF 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 XSPF 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 XSPF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Dutch XSPF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from XSPF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Dutch with Sonix:
Can I convert an XSPF file to text?
Not directly, because an XSPF file is a playlist that contains no audio data, only references to audio files. Locate the MP3, WAV, or OGG files it points to, upload those to Sonix to transcribe them, then edit and export the transcript.
How do I find the audio files referenced in an XSPF playlist?
Open the XSPF file in a text editor or a player like VLC; each track's location tag lists the file path or URL of the actual audio file. Those referenced files are what you upload for transcription.
What is the difference between XSPF and M3U playlists?
Both are playlist formats that reference external audio files rather than storing audio themselves. XSPF organizes its entries with structured XML tags, while M3U is a simpler plain-text list of file paths.
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.
