Transcribe French audiobook and narration sessions to text.

For narrators, producers and publishers. Upload the recording (or paste a link) and get an accurate French transcript with speaker labels and timestamps in minutes — private by default.

French audiobook and narration sessions, transcribed properly

French (français): European, Canadian (Québécois) and African French are transcribed by the same model. Liaisons and elisions (l', qu', j') are written out in standard orthography with accents intact.

Audiobook narrations in particular: Long-form single-voice audio is the engine's best case — accuracy peaks here. Proof-listening scripts, pickup lists and a text reference against the manuscript.
