What this tool does
What to expect from your audio and the result.
Convert a French voice note or short recording into written text. French is already selected in the converter, so you can upload, preview, and transcribe without finding the language setting first.
Use an MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, OPUS, or WebM recording up to 10 MB and 10 minutes. Public audio URLs work through From Link; saved messaging-app audio works through Upload.
Review accents, proper names, dates, and numbers in the output. This page is for French speech transcription; it does not offer a separate French-to-English translation workflow.

Best use cases
A few everyday ways to use your audio.
Searchable notes
Text is easier to search, quote, paste into tasks, and organize. This helps students, support teams, creators, researchers, and business owners turn spoken updates into usable notes.
Follow-up work
After transcription, pull out dates, requests, action items, names, and questions. The transcript becomes source material for a cleaner summary rather than the final record by itself.
Best practices
Practical ways to get a transcript that is easier to review.
Use clear source audio
Clear speech, low background noise, and a steady speaking pace improve transcript reliability. If a voice note is too noisy, ask for a clearer recording when the content matters.
Keep clips manageable
Short clips are easier to upload, retry, read, and correct. If the recording is long, trim it around the section you need before transcription.
Review before sharing
Do not paste transcripts into client work, public posts, or official notes without review. Proper names, numbers, and specialized terms deserve a second listen.
