Convert French audio to text

Yes. Everyday Québécois transcribes well, which matters given how many tools are tuned only for Metropolitan French. Very informal joual and strong regional slang are the toughest cases; expect a few more inline corrections there.

Yes. The free hour each month covers a lecture or a couple of interviews, in files up to 30 minutes, with TXT export and no card, on the same engine and synced editor paid users get. Other export formats and built-in English translation are paid. It renews monthly rather than expiring like a trial.

Yes. Output is proper French text with all diacritics, usable directly in documents and subtitles. DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT all carry them perfectly.

Pick the language that dominates the meeting. A French discussion around an English slide deck counts as French; a call that genuinely alternates whole sentences between French and English is hard for every model, and two mostly-single-language recordings transcribe far better than one heavily mixed one.

On Pro, yes: it transcribes the French, then translates that text to English, keeping both so you can check one against the other. Our French audio to English guide walks through the workflow, including the free route.

It's built for transcribing recordings you have, not for supplying learning material, but it works well on French podcasts or videos you own: the transcript sits beside a synced player, so you can read along and click any sentence to replay it. Published learner courses remain the better source for graded audio.
