French voice memos, 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.
Voice memos in particular: Even rambling self-notes come back as clean, punctuated text. To-do lists, journal entries and ideas you can actually search later.
