Roughly ten million people speak Swedish, and almost none of them sound like the textbook. A voice note from Malmö carries the soft, back-of-the-throat Scanian R that drifts toward Danish; a recording from Skellefteå rolls in broad Norrländska; and across the Gulf of Bothnia, finlandssvenska trades the singsong melody for a flatter, more even rhythm. Pepys is built to write all of it down. Upload an interview, a lecture, a podcast or a quick röstmemo, and you get accurate, timestamped text you can search, quote and translate.
Two things break ordinary speech models on svenska. The first is pitch accent – Swedish leans on a rising-then-falling tone to tell apart words spelled identically, so anden the duck and anden the spirit only diverge in melody. The second is the language's appetite for stacking nouns into one long compound, where a single token can run the length of a phrase. Pepys keeps both upright. Swedish is auto-detected among 99+ languages, your first 60 minutes are free, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.
Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.
The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.
um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Swedish audio to text – questions, answered
How do I convert Swedish audio to text?
Upload your Swedish file or paste a link on this page – the first 60 minutes are free, no card. Pepys writes the svenska out as clean, timestamped text within minutes.
Does it cope with regional dialects?
Yes. Scanian's guttural R, broad Norrländska from the north, göteborgska, Gotländska and Finland-Swedish all come through, and you can correct any word inline before exporting.
Why is Swedish tricky to transcribe?
Mainly the two pitch accents – tone alone separates word pairs like anden – plus long stacked compound nouns. Pepys is built for both, and leaves every word editable inline.
Does it write å, ä and ö correctly?
Yes. The full Swedish alphabet, including å, ä and ö, is preserved exactly in every export format.
Is my Swedish audio private?
Completely. We never train AI on your audio or transcripts, and you can set files to auto-delete after processing.
