English to Swedish audio translator

A Swedish transcript in paragraphs, each marked with the moment it was said. Copy it into minutes or an email, or save it as a Word document whose heading reads “Translated: English → Swedish”. The English transcript, with matching times, saves separately.

The times are what make a translated transcript usable as a record: when a sentence matters, you can play that moment of the English recording and hear it for yourself.

Mostly, though it can come out a touch flatter. “Well, you know, it’s kind of a big deal” became “Nåja, du vet, det är lite stort”, keeping the filler and toning the phrase down. When you quote someone, check that the Swedish carries the right weight.

Yes, one person is du throughout, which is ordinary Swedish, and a group is ni. Polite English has nowhere to go: “Please sit down, sir” became “Var snäll och sätt dig, sir”, keeping the English word. Drop “sir” in a written record if it reads oddly.

Very well: in our test, translation from English into Swedish scored clearly above the dedicated translation system we compared it with. The Swedish ran about the same length as the English, so the transcript reads at roughly the length of the original.
