How Swedish speech transcribes
Swedish speech transcribes well, Finland-Swedish included. Strong regional dialects produce more errors.
What a Swedish transcript looks like
Swedish transcripts include å, ä and ö and write compound words as one, as in standard Swedish. English loanwords common in Swedish speech are generally kept in their English spelling.
Examples
A university research team transcribes a 39-minute recorded Swedish seminar.
