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:

  1. Go to your user profile preferences
  2. Find the voice/transcription settings section
  3. Manually select "English" (or your preferred language) instead of "Auto-detect"
  4. 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.
