Finnish recordings, transcribed and summarised

From Finnish speech to a transcript, minutes and a translation
Litterointi by hand takes hours for every hour of audio. MinutesMaster transcribes the Finnish recording, separates the speakers by voice, adds timestamps and writes structured minutes: summary, agenda, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting. Ä and ö — and the å in Swedish names — are kept in the transcript and in every export.
Finnish builds long words from many parts and changes their endings by case, so the same word rarely appears twice in the same form. Search in MinutesMaster works by meaning as well as by keywords, which helps you find a moment even when it was said in a different form.
Finland works in Finnish, Swedish and English. Mixed-language meetings stay in one transcript without a language setting, and the minutes can be written in the language each reader needs. Recordings are never used to train AI models, and the service is hosted in Europe.

How Finnish transcription works
The same four steps for a palaveri, a lecture or a research interview.
- 1
Add the recording
Upload audio or video up to 2 GB (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4 and more), record in the browser or the mobile app, paste a YouTube or Google Drive link, or send the bot to a live meeting.
- 2
Choose the output language
Auto keeps the minutes in Finnish. Pick English or Swedish if the readers need it — or any other of the 38 languages.
- 3
Name the speakers once
Voices are separated automatically. Type each name once — Virtanen, Korhonen or Lindholm — and it is used in the transcript, the minutes and every export.
- 4
Export or ask
Download Word or PDF minutes, a TXT transcript or SRT and VTT subtitles, and ask questions about the meeting in Finnish or English.
What you get from a Finnish recording
A litterointi you can edit, minutes you can send, translations you can share.
Finnish, Swedish and English
Meetings that switch languages are transcribed without choosing a language in advance.
Ä and ö intact
Finnish letters stay correct in the transcript, the minutes and the PDF, Word, TXT, JSON, SRT and VTT exports.
Speakers separated by voice
Each speaker gets a label; rename them once and the names follow through the transcript, the minutes and every export.
A muistio or pöytäkirja draft
Summary, agenda, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting, plus a detailed narrative version to review.
Translations side by side
Translate the minutes or the full transcript into English, Swedish or any of the 38 languages, with the Finnish original kept.
Files you can reuse
DOCX and PDF for documents, TXT and JSON for analysis tools, and SRT or VTT subtitles for videos.
Good to know for Finnish recordings
Where Finnish teams, researchers and students use MinutesMaster.
Litterointi for research interviews
Thesis and research interviews become a timestamped transcript with speaker labels that you can export to Word. Check your university’s data-management rules for where recordings may be processed.
Muistio and pöytäkirja
A muistio from a palaveri is ready to send. For a formal pöytäkirja, the Board / committee meeting template drafts attendance, motions and resolutions for the chair and the pöytäkirjantarkastajat to check.
Litterointi in Teams
The bot joins a Teams meeting through its link like any guest; someone admits it from the lobby if the organiser requires it. If external guests are blocked, upload a recording instead.
Finnish and Swedish in one meeting
Bilingual meetings stay in one transcript, and the minutes can be written in Finnish or Swedish — with a translation into the other language if both groups need them.
Search by meaning
Finnish words change form with every case ending. Search works by meaning as well as by keywords, so you can find a moment even when the word was said in another form.
Ask in English about a Finnish meeting
A colleague who doesn’t speak Finnish can ask in English and get an answer with citations that play the Finnish moment.
Frequently asked questions

- Can I transcribe Finnish and get the text in English?
- Yes. Choose English as the minutes language, or translate the finished minutes and the full transcript into English later. The Finnish original stays next to the translation.
- Can I use it for litterointi in a thesis or research project?
- Yes, for the transcript itself: you get a timestamped text with speaker labels to export to Word. Check it against the recording, and follow your university’s rules on where research data may be processed.
- Can it write a pöytäkirja?
- It writes a draft. The minutes structure attendees, agenda, decisions and tasks; for a formal pöytäkirja, the chair and the minutes checkers should review it before it is signed.
- What about meetings in Finnish and Swedish?
- No language setting is needed. The transcript follows what was said, and the minutes are written in the one language you choose.
