Finnish is written in the Latin alphabet and spoken across Finland. Formal (written) Finnish differs substantially from spoken colloquial Finnish. For automatic , the main difficulty is extensive agglutination (long words built from many suffixes) and the formal-versus-spoken gap. Wisprs handles this by auto-detecting the language and, on paid plans, applying speaker separation so multi-speaker Finnish recordings stay readable. For background on the language itself, see the overview of .
