Translate French Audio to English
Upload the French recording and add English under “Also translate into”. The French is transcribed first, then each line is translated, so you read it in English and can always check the original wording at the same timestamp.

Where French Audio Needs an English Version
A course recorded in Paris or Montréal becomes English notes you can study from, while the French transcript stays there for the terms the lecturer actually used.
A recorded negotiation or a project call turns into an English summary for colleagues who weren’t on it, with a French line to point to for every decision.
French-language podcasts, radio segments or archive interviews become searchable English text for a thesis, an article or a brief.
French to English: What to Expect
Most of a French recording translates cleanly. These are the spots worth a second look.
- Varieties
- France, Québec, Belgium, Switzerland and West Africa are all transcribed as French
- Tu and vous
- Both end up as “you”, so the shift from formal to familiar in a conversation disappears in English
- “On”
- Can mean we, they, you or people in general; the translation picks one from the sentence
- Numbers
- Belgian and Swiss septante and nonante are read as 70 and 90; decimal commas become points
- Québec words
- Local usage like “char” for car or “blonde” for girlfriend can be translated literally, so check informal speech
- Liaison and elision
- Names and rare words that run into the next word are the most common recognition slips
- Output
- French transcript and English text with the same timestamps, exported one language per file
Three Checks for French Recordings
A minute of setup saves the most corrections afterwards.
Proper names
Spell out names in My terms
French names of people, streets and companies are often heard as ordinary words. A saved spelling fixes them in both the French and the English text.
Register
Decide whether formality matters
If the tu/vous change carries meaning, as in an interview or a negotiation, keep the French line next to the English when you quote it.
Use
Have a fluent reader check anything you publish
The English is machine translation: good for following and drafting, not a certified translation for contracts or official documents.
