Understanding Finnish MPEG 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 MPEG 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 MPEG file that I upload?
Yes, please do not over-compress or over-filter the audio track of your Finnish MPEG file. By uploading a high quality version of your audio, we can give you the best level of accuracy.
Aside from MPEG, do you support other types of audio/video files?
Yes, we do! You can convert the following file types in Finnish with Sonix:
What is the difference between .mpeg and .mpg files?
They are the same format; .mpg is the three-letter variant of the extension carried over from systems that limited extensions to three characters. Both play and transcribe identically.
Do I need to convert my MPEG file to MP4 before transcribing it?
No. MPEG files can be uploaded directly, and the audio is extracted for transcription without any prior conversion.
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'd give Sonix a 10 mainly due to the accuracy.
Very high quality transcription - very accurate - only took a quick scan/sweep to manually correct/clean up the text.
