Understanding Finnish transcription

Who transcribes Finnish content?

Finnish broadcasters, podcasters, and video teams transcribe content for subtitles and accessibility, while journalists and university researchers in Finland rely on transcripts of interviews for articles and qualitative studies. Public-sector organizations and companies also transcribe meetings, hearings, and training sessions conducted in Finnish.

Finnish dialects and accents

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.

Where Finnish is spoken

Finnish is spoken in Finland and parts of Estonia, Norway, Russia, and Sweden.
