Transcribe folkhögskola lecture recordings a course day at a time.
A 6-hour folkhögskola course day recorded in Sweden is transcribed in about 12 minutes, and a week of five such days, 1,800 minutes, fits the $12 pack of 2,000. Swedish is detected automatically, and each recording comes back with chapters for the sessions and the terms and names worth going over again.
Folk high school study
Long course days, read back at your own pace.
A whole course day, uploaded once
Folk high school days often run as one long block: a morning lecture, group work, a guest speaker after lunch. A recording of the full day can go up as one file, since a file may be 10 hours long, and chapters split it where each session begins. Long silent stretches during group work simply produce no text.
For students who learn by reading
Courses at a folkhögskola gather people of every age and background, and some take in more from a page than from a recording. The text gives everyone the same lecture to reread, search and quote from in their own work.
Terms and names gathered
Lecturers mention writers, historical dates, places and technical terms throughout a day. The brief lists the names, numbers and dates that were spoken, which gives the class a starting list for the next assignment. Words spelled out on the whiteboard but never said are not in it.
Download what you may
Distance courses usually share recordings through a learning platform, a Drive folder or a video link. Download the file where the course allows it and drop it on the upload page, or paste a YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive link.
Why course recordings sit unused
Six hours of video is a recording. Six hours of text is study material.
✗ A day you can only replay
Course days are long, and the useful twenty minutes is somewhere in the middle.

Sample
A course day, as it comes back.
This sample is illustrative and was written for this page in English; the course, the lecturer and the guests are invented. A course day held in Swedish comes back in Swedish.

FAQ
Folkhögskola recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 6-hour course day take to transcribe?
About 12 minutes, because the speed is near 2 minutes per audio hour. A single 90-minute lecture is back in about 3, so the morning session can be read over lunch.
What does a course cost to transcribe?
Five 6-hour days are 1,800 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 at $0.36 an audio hour. Ten course days, 3,600 minutes, fit the $24 pack of 5,000 at $0.29 an audio hour. One day alone, 360 minutes, sits inside the $6 pack of 500.
Is there a way to try one lecture?
On a first visit, the first 20 minutes free come with no pack needed. A longer recording is previewed up to there, and a pack carries on from where the preview ended.
Can a full day go up as one file?
Yes, a file may run 10 hours or reach 5 GB. Before the first pack the upload cap is 2 GB; a long video can exceed that, so upload the audio track, or buy a pack first and the larger file starts.
Which languages are handled?
Swedish, English and 97 other languages are detected automatically. Courses for newcomers that mix Swedish with another language are detected on the main language, and the switches are handled.
Which downloads do I get, and who can see the lecture?
A DOCX to annotate, a TXT to paste into notes, SRT and VTT captions and a JSON file. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Transcribe only what the course lets participants download.
