How it works

  1. 1

    Add your Dutch audio

    Upload a Dutch audio or video file, paste a YouTube or podcast link, or record a meeting live with the desktop app or Chrome extension. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, and WebM are all supported.

  2. 2

    Confirm the language

    Select Dutch or let automatic language detection identify it. LiteScribe handles accents from across the Netherlands and Flanders, including Randstad, Brabant, Limburg, and Antwerp speakers, and copes with the English loanwords that run through Dutch business speech.

  3. 3

    Get an accurate transcript

    LiteScribe returns a clean Dutch transcript with speaker diarization, automatic punctuation, an AI summary, action items, and topic tags. Everything is editable in the browser, so correcting a name or a term takes seconds.

  4. 4

    Translate and export

    Translate the Dutch transcript to English or other languages, ask AI questions about the content in plain Dutch or English, then export to DOCX, PDF, TXT, or SRT subtitles.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

LiteScribe publishes a measured 94.1% on real-world audio rather than the inflated 99% the category likes to quote, and Dutch is one of the well-supported languages, covering accents from the Netherlands and Belgium. Clean recordings with one speaker at a time give the best results. Background noise, heavy crosstalk, and distant microphones lower accuracy for any transcription service, so a headset or a table mic makes a real difference.

Most Dutch transcription services are either human typists charging per minute with a next-day turnaround, or English-first software that treats Dutch as an afterthought. LiteScribe returns Dutch transcripts in minutes, labels the speakers, writes the summary and action items for you, and gives you 120 minutes free every month. The desktop app also has an offline Local Mode, which almost nothing else in this category offers.

Yes. Both Netherlands Dutch and Belgian Flemish are handled by the same model, including the vocabulary and pronunciation differences between them. Recordings that mix Dutch and Belgian speakers in one meeting work fine, and each speaker is labelled separately.

Yes. After transcribing your Dutch audio you can translate the transcript into English or any of 100+ supported languages, which is what you want when a Dutch-language meeting has to be shared with an international team. The translation keeps the speaker labels and timestamps, so it stays readable as a transcript rather than turning into a wall of text.

Yes. Speaker diarization automatically identifies and labels each speaker in your Dutch audio, which matters for interviews, panel discussions, and board meetings where who said what is the whole point. On Pro and Business plans you can rename Speaker A and Speaker B to real names, and those names carry through into the summary and the export.

Yes. With the desktop app or Chrome extension you see the Dutch transcript appear in real time as people speak, with less than two seconds of latency. It captures Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex calls bot-free, so no extra participant shows up in the attendee list.

Yes. LiteScribe includes 120 free transcription minutes every month with no credit card required, which covers Dutch audio, video, meetings, and uploads. That is roughly two hours of interviews or four half-hour meetings a month. Paid plans add more minutes, longer retention, and custom speaker names.

Yes. Upload an MP4, MOV, or WebM file, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, and LiteScribe transcribes the audio track and exports timed SRT subtitles. You can translate the subtitles into English before exporting, which is the usual route for Dutch marketing video heading to an international audience.

Uploaded files are typically transcribed in a fraction of their runtime, so a one-hour Dutch interview is usually ready in minutes rather than the next working day you would wait for from a human transcription service. Live meeting transcription is immediate, appearing on screen as people speak.

On the desktop app, offline Local Mode transcribes Dutch audio entirely on your own machine with an on-device AI engine. Your audio never leaves your computer and nothing is sent to any third-party AI service, which is what makes it workable for confidential client interviews, medical notes, and legal work. The transcript itself syncs to your own LiteScribe account unless you mark it private.
