What makes French speech recognition difficult

[le.z‿a.mi]
Élisions
A vowel can disappear before another vowel sound and is replaced by an apostrophe.
"j’ai"
[ʒe]
Nasal vowels
Vowel-plus-consonant spellings can represent a single nasal vowel.
"sans"
[sɑ̃]
Regional vocabulary
The same object may have different names across French-speaking regions.

Frequently asked questions

Can Mictoo transcribe Quebec French?

Yes. Set the language to French, then review regional vocabulary such as char, courriel, and magasiner in the first draft.

Are French accents preserved?

Yes. Whisper preserves é, è, ê, à, ç, ï, ô and other accent marks in the transcript output.

Can I translate the transcript to English?

Yes. Pick English as the target language and click Translate after transcription. GPT-4o-mini handles the translation.

Is French transcription free?

Yes. Files up to 25 MB can be transcribed anonymously or up to 180 MB when signed in. No watermark and no per-minute fee.

Are my audio files stored?

No. Audio streams to the transcription provider, gets processed once, and is dropped. Transcripts persist only on signed-in accounts.

Which French varieties are best for the model?

Standard Parisian French has the largest training-data coverage. Quebec, Belgian, Swiss and African French also work well; heavy dialectal speech may need manual review.
