How do I fix voice transcription when it keeps translating English to Swedish (or wrong language)?
If your voice transcription is incorrectly translating English to Swedish (or another wrong language), this is a known issue where the underlying AI model sometimes guesses the wrong language during auto-detection.
Solution
Explicitly set the transcription language in your user profile preferences instead of relying on auto-detection:
- Go to your user profile preferences
- Find the voice/transcription settings section
- Manually select "English" (or your preferred language) instead of "Auto-detect"
- Save the settings
Why this happens
The AI model used for transcription sometimes makes incorrect assumptions about the language being spoken, especially when:
- There are mixed language environments
- The speaker has an accent
- Background noise affects detection
- The auto-detection algorithm makes an incorrect initial guess
Alternative approaches
If the issue persists after setting the language manually:
- Speak more clearly and distinctly
- Reduce background noise during voice input
- Consider restarting your session and trying again
Still having issues?
If manually setting the language doesn't resolve the transcription problems, contact our support team at support@abundly.ai with details about:
- Which language you're speaking
- Which language it's being transcribed as
- Your current language settings
This helps us identify if there are additional technical issues affecting your transcription experience.
