Speech to Text in French: how it works
Speech to text turns French audio into written text with timestamps for every sentence. Upload a recording or video and get a transcript you can copy, edit or download as subtitles.
French is spoken on five continents and is an official language of 29 countries, including France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland and much of West and Central Africa. Its smooth flow comes from liaison, where a silent final consonant is pronounced before a word that starts with a vowel. With about 310 million speakers, it is a large audience to reach.
