How do I transcribe Dutch audio to text?

Upload the recording to WhipScribe or paste a public link, and the Dutch speech comes back as timestamped Dutch text. Dutch from the Netherlands and Flemish from Belgium go through the same model, with the English loanwords of business speech kept as said. The opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest.

Dutch and Flemish

Dutch from the Netherlands and Flemish from Belgium go through the same model with no setting to choose. The ij, compounds and the English loanwords of business speech come through as said.

What we measured on Dutch recordings

From 29 July to 12 October 2026, people transcribed 6 Dutch recordings on WhipScribe; the median one was 23.8 minutes long and 33 % ran an hour or more. That is too few recordings to publish a quality share.

English subtitles or an English translation

Once the Dutch transcript is unlocked, choose English (or any of 99 languages) under Translate into above it and download TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT with the original timing; translating an unlocked transcript adds no charge beyond the minutes the transcription used. It is machine translation, not a certified one.

What it costs

Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes. The rest transcribes with a minute pack: $4 / 500 minutes, $12 / 2,000 minutes or $24 / 5,000 minutes, one-time. Credits never expire.

How to do it

  1. Open WhipScribe and drop the Dutch audio or video onto the upload box, or paste a public link.
  2. Wait while it processes; about two minutes per hour of audio is typical.
  3. Read the free preview, then open the full transcript with a pack.
  4. Read it through against the audio (the timestamps take you to each line) and correct names and places.
  5. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, or translate it first.
