- Choose your Dutch recording: a team meeting, an interview or a WhatsApp voice message.
- Dutch is already selected, so just press Transcribe.
- Read the transcript by speaker, or download it as SRT subtitles.
Dutch, Flemish and English mixed in
The transcript is written in standard Dutch (Nederlands), with the ij, diaeresis and accent marks where the spelling uses them. Recordings from the Netherlands and from Flanders go to the same model. Flemish vocabulary and strong regional accents may be written closer to Netherlands spelling, so give local words a read before the text goes to a Belgian audience.
Dutch meetings borrow English freely: deadline, feedback, meeting, even whole phrases. Keep the language on Dutch when most of the talk is Dutch. Choosing the language yourself matters more here than for most languages, because Dutch and English can sound close and automatic detection may mistake one for the other. This page already sets the picker to Dutch, so leave it there.
Typical files are team calls, interviews for research or journalism, municipal and association meetings, and WhatsApp voice notes. Long compounds such as vergaderverslag may be split or joined differently from your house style, so check the ones that matter. The SRT subtitles keep the Dutch text with times from the spoken words.

Questions
What if my recording isn't in Dutch?
Choose the language that is spoken, or pick automatic detection. If the transcript sounds like another language, one click transcribes the file again in that language.
Does it work for Flemish?
Yes, Flemish recordings go to the same Dutch model. Flemish words and strong accents may be spelled the Netherlands way, so check local terms before you share the transcript.
What about English words in a Dutch meeting?
Leave the picker on Dutch when most of the conversation is Dutch; English terms usually stay as spoken. Choose the language yourself rather than relying on detection, since Dutch and English can sound alike.
Is Dutch transcription free?
Yes, within the free limits: 6 h of transcription in total, and the first 15 min of each transcript readable on the free plan. Sync Pro unlocks full transcripts.
