Transcription vs translation
This tool transcribes French speech into text. It does not translate the transcript into English. Keeping those workflows separate improves clarity for students, researchers, and teams who need the original wording.

Use clear audio, reduce background noise, avoid overlapping speakers, and upload the original file when possible.
For long-form dictation inside apps, use AI Dictation instead of browser upload tools.
