FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Finnish is one of the well-supported languages for recorded files and one of the languages that run live. Clear speech from a headset or a nearby microphone gives the best result; crosstalk, speakerphones, and background noise lower accuracy for any service. The transcript is editable, so names and company terms are quick to fix.

Yes. Finnish runs live with High Accuracy in the desktop app and the Chrome extension, so the transcript appears while people speak and no bot joins the call. Pick Finnish before you start. Live High Accuracy uses 2 credits per minute; recording first and transcribing afterwards uses 1 credit per minute.

Spoken Finnish (puhekieli) differs a lot from written Finnish (kirjakieli): people say mä oon where the written form is minä olen, so a transcript of casual speech can contain spoken forms. Edit them if the text is going into a formal report. Vowel and consonant length change meaning, as in tuli (fire), tuuli (wind), and tulli (customs), so clear audio helps.

Yes. Press Translate on the transcript page and pick English or another of the 19 target languages. Translation is included on every plan, which helps when a Finnish meeting or research interview has to reach an international team.

Yes. LiteScribe includes 120 free transcription minutes every month with no credit card required, covering Finnish uploads, links, and meetings. Live High Accuracy uses 2 credits per minute, so the free allowance covers about an hour of live Finnish, or two hours of recorded audio.

Yes, with Local Mode in the desktop app. It transcribes Finnish audio on your own computer with an on-device speech model, so the audio never leaves your machine and nothing is sent to any third-party AI service. Local Mode comes with Pro and Business, or with any minute pack for 30 days.
