Finnish is an official language of Finland alongside Swedish, with notable Finnish-speaking minorities in Sweden, Norway, Russia, and Estonia. Finland is a small but highly digital market, home to companies like Nokia and a strong software and gaming industry.
Supporting Finnish lets you serve customers across Finland and reach the Finnish-speaking community in Sweden, estimated at 200,000 to 250,000 people, in the language they use at home.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Finnish speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Finnish shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Finnish teams often switch to English for technical terms in otherwise Finnish meetings, so notes need to capture both without dropping the jargon.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Finnish support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Finnish packs meaning into long compound words and case endings, so voice agents have to catch every suffix to get names, dates, and addresses right.
Voice agents →Finland subtitles foreign content instead of dubbing it, and Yle broadcasts in both Finnish and Swedish, so viewers expect accurate captions as standard.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
Ship Finnish voice features with an API built for messy, real-world conversations.
