Understanding Finnish AIFF files
Finnish has two broad dialect groups, Western and Eastern, but the bigger factor for speech recognition is the gap between standard written Finnish (yleiskieli) and everyday spoken Finnish (puhekieli), which shortens words and pronouns. Casual conversational recordings sound noticeably different from scripted broadcast or lecture speech.

Frequently asked questions
How to improve the accuracy of your Finnish transcripts?
Start by improving the quality of the Finnish AIFF file that you upload to Sonix. Please use high quality recording equipment, recording in a quiet environment, and ensure that your speakers are speaking clearly to ensure that your transcript is as accurate as possible.
Any advice for the Finnish AIFF file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Finnish AIFF file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from AIFF, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Finnish with Sonix:
Why are my AIFF files so large?
AIFF stores uncompressed PCM audio, which works out to roughly 10 MB per minute at CD quality. Converting to a compressed format like MP3 or a lossless codec like FLAC reduces the size if storage or upload time is a concern.
Do AIFF files play on Windows?
Most modern Windows media players and audio editors can open AIFF files, although WAV is the more common uncompressed format on that platform. If a specific program rejects the file, converting it to WAV preserves the audio exactly.
Can Sonix transcribe colloquial spoken Finnish (puhekieli)?
Yes. Sonix transcribes the words as they are spoken, so casual recordings come back in colloquial forms, and you can standardize the spelling in the built-in editor before exporting.
Does Finnish transcription handle long compound words?
Finnish builds long compound and inflected word forms, and Sonix transcribes them as complete words. Any misrecognized rare compounds or proper nouns can be corrected in the editor.
Can Sonix create Finnish subtitles from a video?
Yes. Upload a Finnish video, transcribe it, and export the transcript as SRT or VTT subtitle files that work with most media players and video editing tools.
Trusted by professionals worldwide
I found out out you guys because I had to do some transcribing for me yearbook class and my friend recommended you guys. It was a very easy process and it took hours off the time I had to actually had to transcribe it. The timing made it very easy to go back in the recording, this is the best feature in Sonix.
So fast, so easy. This has saved me hours for every 20 minutes of recording.
