The extra voice can be reading translated text
RTV Slovenija’s official spoken-subtitle guidance describes zvočni podnapisi as synthetic reading of text for foreign-language parts of a programme. This is different from a narrator explaining silent visual action. Both can use an additional audio route, so identify the purpose of the voice before changing settings.
Listen to a passage where someone speaks another language. If the extra voice conveys the translated statement, spoken subtitles are the relevant service. If it explains where a person goes or what appears without speech, that is a description task. A few seconds of ordinary dialogue may reveal neither clearly.
Finnish can be the documented routing label
The broadcaster’s 2019 help page identifies Finnish or Suomi as the additional audio label on its described terrestrial arrangement and notes operator-dependent labels on cable or IPTV. This is dated receiver guidance, not a claim that every current distributor uses the same menu. Do not assume it is an actual Finnish dub.
Before changing the selection, note the current label and the programme. Consult the current receiver or operator guidance for the route in use. If the extra translation is unwanted, the same broadcaster page describes Slovenian as the ordinary-language choice for its stated arrangement. Confirm the effect on the actual screen.
The adapted archive is another route
The official page points to adapted recordings through RTV 365 and the Dostopno spoken-subtitles section. For a missed programme, use the programme title and date to locate the appropriate recording. A national live channel page does not automatically open the same adapted archive item.
Keep the original broadcast and the replay separate in your notes. A clip can be useful for checking one translated interview, while the full bulletin preserves the rest of the programme. Decide how much context the viewer needs before choosing the shorter result.
Confirm with a relevant passage
After changing the audio, return to a segment containing translated speech where possible. Hearing no additional voice in a later Slovenian-language segment does not prove the setting changed. The feature may simply have nothing to read at that moment.
A useful household note states the programme, receiving route and the menu label that produced the desired result. Keep the note limited to that setup. The unusual language label illustrates why a broadcaster’s documented access arrangement should not become a universal rule about every channel carrying a Finnish-labelled track.
Questions answered
Does Finnish in this documented audio route mean a Finnish dub?
Not necessarily. RTV Slovenija identifies it as the access-audio label on the stated route.
Are spoken subtitles the same as audio description?
No. They read translated text; description explains visual information.
