Understanding Basque transcription

Who transcribes Basque content?

Basque-language broadcasters and newsrooms such as those serving the Basque Autonomous Community, regional government bodies where Basque is a co-official language, and universities producing bilingual content all generate audio that needs transcribing. Linguists and oral history researchers also transcribe Basque extensively because it is Europe's best-known language isolate, with recordings of dialect speakers holding particular documentary value.

Basque dialects and accents

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.

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.
