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 video
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 presentations often alternate between a slide’s formal terminology and a shorter spoken explanation. Use the spoken transcript as the source, then reconcile repeated terms with your slide deck during review. English captions should follow the argument without packing an entire French sentence into one line. A demonstration or gesture can supply the context for a short phrase, so watch the translated captions in motion before handing off the video.
What to check in your recording
- Build a consistent English spelling for repeated slide terms.
- Preview captions during transitions where a sentence spans two slides.

Choose your output
Export SRT or VTT to import translated captions into a video editor. Review reading speed, line breaks, and the timing around scene changes before publishing. TXT is also available directly; account users can additionally export DOCX, PDF, or CSV for a script or handout. Subtitle export does not burn captions into the video.
Ways to use the translated text
- English captions for French webinars
- Translated French training material
- English presentation scripts
Supported file formats
3GP, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, TS, WEBM, WMV
Before you upload
What should I review when translating French video into English?
Check whether a technical expression has an established English term in your field. Review subtitle breaks around long French clauses and keep a negation with the phrase it modifies. Slides and embedded captions are not extracted as text, so important visual terminology needs a manual check.
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.
Does this translate the video’s speech or text shown on screen?
This workflow transcribes the spoken audio in an uploaded video. It does not perform OCR on slides, signs, or embedded captions, and it does not replace the spoken voice. Add any important on-screen spelling when you review the original transcript.
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.
