We’re excited to announce that KB-Whisper, a high-performance Swedish speech-to-text model developed by the National Library of Sweden, is now integrated into Intric!
Trained on over 50,000 hours of Swedish parliamentary speeches, TV broadcasts, and dialects, KB-Whisper delivers significantly higher accuracy for Swedish transcription — making 47% fewer word-level errors compared to OpenAI’s Whisper in tests.
This integration is a direct response to feedback from our users in the public sector who need locally tuned, high-accuracy transcription tools for their Swedish workflows. It’s also a great example of the value in having a flexible, multi-model AI platform like Intric: you get the right tool for the right task — whether that’s native-language accuracy or cross-language translation.
Want to try it?We’re currently offering a free trial of Intric to public sector professionals. You’ll be able to test KB-Whisper along with several other powerful AI features.

P.S. For multilingual transcription and translation, OpenAI’s Whisper is still a strong choice. But for transcription in Swedish, KB-Whisper is now the new benchmark.
