A free account includes 3 tasks a day and 120 minutes a month. Your guest task and usage move to your account; signing up does not reset usage.
Automatic language detection handles the recording. Your selected language is translated automatically after transcription. Review the original and translation together. Video translation produces text and subtitles; it does not create a dubbed video.
From recording to translated text
- 01
Upload your French audio
Upload the original recording directly on this page. Use a file with clear speech and let automatic language detection identify the spoken language. Keep background music and overlapping voices as low as possible.
- 02
Check the French transcript
Read the original transcript and automatic translation on this page while listening to the recording. Check names, numbers, and missed words, then save any text corrections.
- 03
Translate into English and export
The English translation is generated automatically with your transcript. Compare it with the original and download TXT, SRT, or VTT directly. Sign in to save the task and access account export formats.
Make the translation useful
French connected speech can make short function words difficult to hear in a phone recording. Those words matter when a speaker is agreeing, qualifying, or rejecting a proposal. Read the English translation for the intended meaning, then check the French original around negation, dates, and conditional language. In interviews, a natural English rendering of an idiom may be more useful than preserving the French word order.
What to check in your recording
- Replay negation and conditional wording before summarizing a commitment.
- Verify dates and French names independently of the translated spelling.

Before you upload
What should I review when translating French audio into English?
Review whether the speaker said they will do something or would do it under a condition. Poor audio can lose a short word and reverse a sentence’s meaning. Compare idiomatic expressions with the original conversation, and check formal address before using the translation in an English email.
Can I keep the French transcript as well?
Yes. The original transcript remains available in the task alongside the translation. Check it against the recording, correct errors, and select the original or translated version when exporting. A translation should not be treated as a word-for-word record of what the speaker said.
Can I translate a voice recording or podcast?
Yes. Upload a supported audio file rather than a link to an arbitrary website. Listen to quiet speakers and clipped sentence endings in the original transcript before translating. If several people speak, keep clear pauses between turns where possible.
Do I need an account, and is translation free?
Try one task a day without signing in, with up to 30 minutes per recording and 120 minutes a month. The selected translation is included. A free account allows 3 tasks a day and saves your results; guest usage is carried over.
Which export formats are available?
Guest results can be downloaded as TXT, SRT, or VTT. Sign in for DOCX, PDF, and CSV exports. SRT and VTT preserve segment timings for subtitles. Check terminology and subtitle readability before sharing the translated result.
