Slik gjør du om et opptak til tekst
Klikk i opplastingsfeltet og velg filen: MP3, M4A, WAV, en talemelding fra WhatsApp eller en video i MP4 eller MOV. Lyden hentes ut av videoen automatisk. Du kan også ta opp direkte i nettleseren med mikrofonen eller lime inn en lenke fra YouTube eller TikTok. Språket er allerede satt til norsk, så den automatiske gjenkjenningen slipper å gjette.
Den ferdige transkripsjonen er delt inn i avsnitt med tidsstempler. Avspilleren markerer linjen som blir sagt, og når du klikker på en linje, hører du den igjen og kan rette teksten der den står. Til slutt eksporterer du til TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, VTT eller CSV. Du kan prøve uten å registrere deg, og med en gratis konto blir transkripsjonen lagret.
Norwegian spelling slips to look for
The transcript is normally written in Bokmål. Within Bokmål there is still room for errors and choices the audio cannot settle. These are the common ones.
- og and å: both are pronounced å. Det er lett og/å glemme is a classic mix-up, and the transcript can make it too.
- Særskriving: compounds such as sykepleier, kundeservice and prosjektleder are one word. A split compound changes the meaning.
- da and når: past single events take da, repeated or future ones take når. Speech often uses når for both.
- Optional Bokmål forms: boka or boken, kasta or kastet. The transcript may switch between them, so choose one style for the document.
- Capital letters: months, days and nationalities are lowercase (november, mandag, norsk), and institutions such as Stortinget take a capital.
Numbers, dates and kroner
Edited Norwegian text uses a decimal comma (3,5) and a space between thousands (12 000), with kroner written after the amount (250 kr) or as kr 250 in tables. Dates are written 04.11.2026 or 4. november 2026, and times as kl. 14.30.
Norwegian also has two ways of saying numbers. Older speakers often say femogtjue for 25, while younger speakers say tjuefem. Both should end up as 25 in an edited text, and a misheard unit can swap the digits. Check every amount, phone number and year in a recording where the figures matter.
English loanwords take Norwegian endings in speech (mailen, deadlinen, downloade), and Språkrådet recommends Norwegian forms for some of them, such as e-post, nettbrett and mejl. The transcript can use the English or the Norwegian form, sometimes both in one file. Decide which your organization uses and make the text consistent before it goes out. The polite De is almost never used in modern speech, so it rarely appears in a transcript.
Checklist before you publish
Listen through once with the text, then work through this list.
- Every og and å fits the sentence.
- Compounds are written as one word.
- One set of Bokmål forms is used throughout.
- Amounts, dates and times follow one format, and numbers said units first are correct.
- Names of people, farms, places and companies are spelled as their owners spell them.
- Dialect quotes are either kept on purpose or written in standard form throughout.
Typical Norwegian recordings
Common uploads are kommunestyremøter and formannskap meetings that municipalities stream, interviews for a masteroppgave, forelesninger, local podcasts, and recordings for a bygdebok or local history project, where older residents talk about farms, families and work. Companies record allmøter and customer calls that need a referat.
Export DOCX for a referat or thesis appendix, SRT or VTT for subtitles, and CSV for a timed spreadsheet. Timestamps and speaker names can be switched on or off per export, and speaker labels come with paid plans or a Minute Pack. Recordings are never used to train AI models.
