Dutch transcription is accurate on clear recordings, so a quick read is usually all it needs. Speech from the Netherlands and from Flanders goes through the same page, which is set to Dutch, so a short clip isn't read as Afrikaans or German. The text downloads as plain text, Word or subtitles.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes: 90 minutes a day, with no account.
My recording mixes Dutch and English. Will that work?
Use audio to text instead. This page expects Dutch throughout, so English parts can come out badly; audio to text works the language out for itself.
Does it translate Dutch into English?
Yes: translate audio to English gives you the speech in English. This page keeps the Dutch as it was spoken.
Can I get Dutch subtitles from a video?
Yes. Download SRT or VTT from the transcript page; each line keeps its timing.
