Accents and spelling
Swedish is detected from the audio. å, ä and ö come out correctly, and regional accents such as Scanian, and Finland-Swedish, are written in standard Swedish spelling.
What we measured on Swedish recordings
From 29 July to 12 October 2026, people transcribed 11 Swedish recordings on WhipScribe; the median one was 55.5 minutes long and 45 % ran an hour or more. Processing took a median 2.2 minutes per hour of audio. Our quality review, an AI-assisted reading of a timed excerpt of each transcript, scored 100 % of 11 as clean (4 or 5 of 5). It is a reading check, not a word-error-rate test, and music, noise and mixed languages pull scores down more than the language itself.
English subtitles or an English translation
Once the Swedish transcript is unlocked, choose English (or any of 99 languages) under Translate into above it and download TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT with the original timing; translating an unlocked transcript adds no charge beyond the minutes the transcription used. It is machine translation, not a certified one.
What it costs
Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes. The rest transcribes with a minute pack: $4 / 500 minutes, $12 / 2,000 minutes or $24 / 5,000 minutes, one-time. Credits never expire.
How to do it
- Open WhipScribe and drop the Swedish audio or video onto the upload box, or paste a public link.
- Wait while it processes; about two minutes per hour of audio is typical.
- Read the free preview, then open the full transcript with a pack.
- Read it through against the audio (the timestamps take you to each line) and correct names and places.
- Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, or translate it first.
