Finnish audio to text: transcribe recordings and video online
Turn Finnish audio to text by uploading a recording in Finnish or pasting a YouTube link. Audiotexta returns a transcript with punctuation, timestamps and speaker labels in minutes, ready to edit, summarise, translate and export.
Finnish is spoken by roughly 5 million people, mainly in Finland, which is why it is a first-class language in modern speech models rather than an afterthought.

Example: a short Finnish transcript
A fragment of a demo meeting recording, as it appears in the editor: timestamps on every segment and speakers labelled automatically.
Speaker 1Kiitos, että tulitte. Aloitetaan viime vuosineljänneksen luvuista.
Speaker 2Liikevaihto kasvoi yksitoista prosenttia, lähinnä uuden tilauksen ansiosta.
Speaker 1Hyvä. Mikä vielä estää mobiilisovelluksen julkaisun?

How to transcribe Finnish audio in three steps
- Upload the file (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, MP4, MOV, WebM and more) or paste a link
- Choose Finnish as the language, or leave detection on if the recording mixes languages
- Review in the editor, rename speakers, export or translate
Accuracy for Finnish: what to expect
Finnish is well supported. Clean recordings come back with few errors; noisy rooms, strong accents and crosstalk add corrections, which the editor makes quick to fix.
Long compound words are a known weak spot; add product names and internal terms to the custom vocabulary to steer spelling.
How to get a better Finnish transcript
- Record close to the speakers; a phone on the table beats a laptop microphone across the room.
- Add names, products and jargon to the custom vocabulary before uploading.
- Pick the Precise mode for interviews and legal or medical material; Fast is fine for notes.
- Keep speaker separation on for meetings and interviews; turn it off for monologues to save a few seconds.

After transcription, translate the whole text into English or 50+ other languages with one click. The translation appears next to the original with the same timestamps, so subtitles and bilingual minutes take no extra work.

Frequently asked questions
Is Finnish transcription free?
The free plan includes 120 minutes a month with timestamps and speaker labels and no card. Longer files, AI summaries and translation are on Pro.
How accurate is Finnish speech recognition?
On a clean recording, most sentences come back correct; names, numbers and overlapping speech are where you will edit. The editor highlights words as the audio plays so corrections take seconds.
Can the service tell speakers apart in Finnish?
Yes. Speaker separation works independently of the language. Rename 'Speaker 1' once and the name is applied to the whole file.
What if the recording mixes Finnish with another language?
Leave the language on auto. Each segment is transcribed in the language it was spoken in; you can translate everything into one language afterwards.
Which formats and sources are supported?
Audio: MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, Opus, FLAC, AAC. Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV. Links: YouTube, Vimeo and direct media URLs. Meetings: live via the browser extension.
