How well does it handle Finnish?
Accuracy is strong on clear audio; give names and technical terms a quick scan.
Case-rich agglutinative forms written correctly, double vowels and consonants intact.
Colloquial spoken Finnish (puhekieli) is transcribed as spoken, not forced into book Finnish.
What you get
Speaker labels
Every voice in the recording is separated and labelled — works in Finnish the same as in English, because diarization listens to voices, not words.
Word-level timestamps
Each word is timed to the audio, which is what makes accurate Finnish SRT and VTT subtitle files possible.
Search & quote
The transcript is searchable in Finnish — jump to the exact second something was said and copy it with its timestamp.
Every export
TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX and JSON on every pack — no format paywall.
Who transcribes Finnish audio here
Lectures, interviews, council recordings.
Questions people ask
Do I need to tell it the audio is Finnish?
No — the language is detected from the first seconds of audio automatically. If a recording mixes Finnish and English, each part is transcribed in the language actually spoken.
Can I get English text from Finnish audio?
Yes. Alongside transcription in Finnish, the engine can translate the speech to English text in the same pass — useful for subtitling Finnish content for an international audience.
Does it work on Finnish video, not just audio?
Yes — upload MP4/MOV/WebM or paste a link; the audio track is extracted automatically and transcribed the same way.
How much does it cost?
The preview is instant with no signup. Credits are one-time purchases that never expire: $4 for 300 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes (about 36¢ per hour of audio).
Is this live captioning?
No — Whipscribe transcribes recordings, not live speech. Upload a file that already exists and the Finnish transcript is typically ready in about a minute per half hour of audio.
