The Dutch Dialect Database (also known as the {`}Nederlandse Dialectenbank{'}) contains dialectal variations of Dutch that were recorded all over the Netherlands in the second half of the twentieth century. A subset of these recordings of about 300 hours were enriched with manual orthographic transcriptions, using non-standard approximations of dialectal speech. In this paper we describe the creation of a corpus containing both the audio recordings and their corresponding transcriptions and focus on our method for aligning the recordings with the transcriptions and the metadata.
