We have ordered subtitles from Spoken for a few years now. The cooperation has been functional. Ordering subtitles through the portal has proven to be effortless and the orders have reached us very quickly.
Pihla Liukkonen
Photographer
Kontrastia Oy
I've actually avoided offering my clients a subtitling service because of the time it takes. The Finnish language does not bend with automation in the software I use. My company Kontrastia Oy offers photography and video services, Spoken is the right partner for the video editing workflow. Spoken's service worked excellently, quickly, and the subtitles in literate were top class. Also the English translations! Thanks! My subtitling project became considerably lighter.
Sakari Heiskanen
CEO, Chief Producer
Löytö Studio Oy
I use Spoken's services most often for subtitles for videos, for which I always request an srt file. The videos are usually either in English or Finnish, and recently more and more often with accessibility information. I have also ordered translation services many times. I have also ordered dozens of podcast transcriptions in both English and Finnish. The content I make is for relatively large clients, I am a subcontractor producer. Sometimes the billing goes directly to them, and often through me. This has worked really painlessly with Spoken, as has the entire service itself. I could do these myself using AI tools, but my billed hourly rate is so much higher that it's not worth it. So I am a very satisfied customer 😊

I have been using Spoken's services for transcription for years. They run quickly and accurately. I can warmly recommend it.
If subtitling, transcribing, proofreading or translating are not your core competencies, leave those jobs to Spoken.

Value Insights
I work as a customer experience development consultant and in my work I carry out a lot of customer listening sessions, which are in-depth interviews in nature. In them, it is important to capture and analyze everything the customer has said, so that the end result is optimal. I have been using Spoken's services for more than three years and I have been satisfied with the quality of transcriptions and the ease of cooperation. The customer portal works well and from there you can see at all times what stage the transcription of your own interviews is at and what the transcription will cost.

We are very satisfied with Spoken's fast and professional service. With the help of Spoken's services, for the past three years we have completed our projects on time and have been able to meet our customers' requirements. Spoken's services benefit both our multilingual work environment and our customers in the form of subtitling, transcription and proofreading. We recommend Spoken!

The accuracy level of transcriptions has always been just right; time coding alongside the text makes it easier to find the right place on the editing table and the price is at least reasonable. A service that saves time and money.

We used Spoken as a partner in the translation work of our new online store. The cooperation went very smoothly and we received the translations quickly, on the agreed schedule. Spoken as a partner has acted professionally and the service has been excellent. We will continue to use the services when we need more translation work.

I have used Spoken to save time in transcribing interview materials for my thesis. The customer service has been good from the beginning, both by phone and by email. After my contact, I received a transcription offer in my email the same day, which was proportionate to the file size of my interview material, the quality of the material and the number of people. Sending the audio file was smooth and safe through Spoken's website. As agreed, the transcribed material arrived in my email in less than a week. I ordered a basic transcription, so the level of the transcribed material met my expectations. I have been completely satisfied with Spoken's services and I intend to use them in the future as well!
Sami Pirkkanen

Alvis Oy
I've been using Spoken's subtitling service for a couple of years now. Without this help, making product review and testing videos for my company would be too time-consuming. I value Spoken's high-quality and fast subtitling service very highly.
Taina Liukkonen

I got support for the work to be done during my studies with the help of the proofreading made by Spoken. The readability of the work improved significantly during the process, such as the visualization of key concepts, results and the content of their reflection. Linguistic expression developed from correctness in the same way.

We have been using Spoken's subtitling service for several years. Subtitles come quickly and help reduce our own workload in busy times.
Client
Project Researcher
University of Vaasa
We have used Spoken's transcription services (clean verbatim) in our project for five months now, and I have no complaints - on the contrary, we are quite satisfied with the service we received, which is fast and sufficiently accurate. The service is easy to use and customer service responds quickly. I recommend Spoken's services and I will use them in the future as well.
Client
Postdoctoral Researcher
University of Helsinki
We have been Spoken's customer since early summer 2023. We have ordered transcription services. I have been really pleased that individual interview files can be delivered to Spoken as the research progresses and then transcribed at the same time. Even though we have chosen a normal delivery time (no express delivery), the service has still been fast and the transcribed file has often been waiting in the mail a day after leaving it. I also like that if the transcriber has been unsure about a certain expression, it has been noted in the file and also the time, so I have been able to check the point and correct it if necessary.

I recommend Spoken. Although the text contained small errors and unclear points marked with question marks, the work was still excellent and the delivery was super fast!
