Dutch covers roughly 25 million speakers and two national standards that don't sound alike: the Netherlands Dutch you hear in the Randstad and the Belgian Flemish spoken across Flanders. A Brabants podcast, a Limburgs voice note, and a clipped Amsterdam interview all land as accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote, and translate – with the soft-g of the south and the scraping hard-g of the north both handled.
The thing that breaks ordinary speech models in Dutch is the way words bolt together: a single samenstelling like arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering arrives as one unbroken token, and clipped, run-together everyday speech doesn't help. Pepys is tuned for both, which is why people reach for it on meeting notulen, a college lecture, or a quick interview. Dutch is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Dutch audio to text – questions, answered
How do I convert Dutch audio to text?
Upload your Dutch recording or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys returns clean, timestamped Dutch text in minutes.
Does it cope with Flemish as well as Netherlands Dutch?
Yes. Flanders and the Netherlands speak the same written language but sound different – soft-g versus hard-g, different rhythm and vocabulary. Pepys transcribes both, and you can adjust any regional word inline before exporting.
What actually makes Dutch hard to transcribe?
Two things. Compound words fuse into one long token instead of separating, and casual speech runs together fast. Pepys is built to keep those compounds intact, and anything off you can correct inline.
What can I export?
TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT, or JSON, with timestamps preserved throughout.
Is my Dutch audio kept private?
Yes. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can set files to auto-delete after processing.
