Why Dutch needs a tool that knows the language

Long compound words don't blow up the line

Dutch loves stacking words into one: a single token like 'arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering' can eat a whole line. Clipzi sizes lines so a long compound either fits or breaks at a sensible point, instead of pushing your caption past the edge of the frame.

Tuned for Netherlands and Belgium audiences

Whisper handles standard Dutch well, and most Flemish speakers too, so creators in both Amsterdam and Antwerp get usable captions. A handful of strong regional accents or dialect words may need a touch-up, which the editor makes quick.

Right for the talky Dutch creator scene

Dutch and Flemish YouTube runs on podcasts, finance and personal-development talk, gaming and football reaction. That long-form, dialogue-heavy stuff clips beautifully, and the captions are what make a clip stop a thumb in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is Dutch transcription?+
Whisper does well on clear Dutch and handles most Flemish speech too. Strong regional accents (think West Flemish or heavy Limburgs) and very casual slang can throw it off occasionally, so a quick edit pass catches the odd word. Common compounds and names usually come through right.
Does it handle Dutch compound words?+
Yes, and it's one of the things built for this language. A long compound like 'meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis' either fits the line or breaks at a sensible spot, so it won't shove your caption off the side of a vertical frame.
Does it work for both the Netherlands and Belgium?+
It does. Standard Netherlands Dutch and most Flemish both transcribe well, so creators in either market get captions they can ship with light editing.
Will accents and the trema show up correctly?+
Yes. Diacritics like the accent in 'café' and the trema in 'coördinatie' or 'reëel' render properly instead of dropping or turning into garbled characters.
What does it cost?+
Free covers 2 videos a month, files up to 3GB, full editing, with a small watermark. Paid plans start at $9 a month and remove the watermark.
