Frequently asked questions
How accurate is French transcription?
For clear recordings with a single speaker, OpenAI Whisper typically achieves 95%+ word accuracy on French. Multiple speakers, heavy regional accents, or background noise can reduce accuracy.
Does it work for Quebec or African French?
Yes. Whisper handles French varieties well — including Quebec, Belgian, Swiss, and West African French. Pronunciation differences rarely cause major errors.
Can I get a French summary of the recording?
Yes. After transcription, Mictoo automatically generates an AI summary in the recording's language — so a French audio gets a French summary with key points and action items.
How do I get a recording for French interviews?
Use your phone's voice recorder (Voice Memos on iPhone, default Recorder on Android), Zoom for video calls, or a digital recorder. Export as .m4a or .mp3 and drop it in the upload area.
Is there a French version of the site?
Yes — visit mictoo.com/fr for the fully French-language interface. This page exists for English-speaking users who specifically need French transcription.
