Turn French recordings into editable French text with AI transcription, then prepare an interview transcript or timed subtitles.
Taption is an online AI transcription tool that turns French audio and video into French text. Taption groups speech into meaningful subtitle segments, making subtitles easier to read and helping preserve context when translating into other languages. After signing in, you can edit the French transcript and export TXT or PDF documents, or SRT or VTT subtitles. If you need an English version, you can translate the reviewed transcript and create bilingual French–English subtitles.
French (France) is preselected. Upload audio or video to get started.

Compare names such as Élodie with your participant list or another reliable reference. Accents belong in the transcript, including on capital letters when required. Check ordinary words in context too: “a” and “à” are different words. Correct a name once, then review its other occurrences before applying a broad replacement.
Listen back where connected speech makes word boundaries unclear. Check apostrophes in forms such as “l’entretien” and “j’ai”, and make sure a correction preserves the sentence’s meaning. In conversational French, speakers may omit “ne”; listen for the full phrase around “pas” before quoting or translating a statement. Set a consistent policy for retaining spoken phrasing.
Check local terms and spoken numbers against the conversation, especially when speakers come from different French-speaking regions. Verify dates, amounts and measurements against your project materials. Keep a person’s name and short connected phrases together in subtitles; a character limit alone cannot decide where a French sentence should break.
Follow a journalist checking whether participants reviewed a report. The French source stays beside an English translation. The SRT download uses the same French wording and timestamps as the source rows.

TXT · PDF
Use plain text for editing or reuse, or a PDF for a document you can read and share. A transcript document is different from a timed subtitle track.
SRT · VTT
Keep caption text and timestamps together for a video platform or editor. Review the timing and line length against the recording.
MP4 · FCPXML
Export a video with visible subtitles, or use FCPXML in a compatible post-production workflow. Video quality and available export options depend on your plan.
French transcription turns French speech into French text. To create English text or subtitles, review the source transcript, then choose English in the translation workflow. Check negation, pronouns, regional expressions and numbers against the full conversation. Transcription and translation use minutes separately; review both language tracks before exporting bilingual subtitles.

Keep a French source transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Confirm participant names, listen back to quotations and preserve the speaker’s intended meaning before using an excerpt in a report or translating it for a colleague.
Prepare French captions for a recorded lesson. Check accented terminology and abbreviations against course materials, then review phrase boundaries and reading time before exporting SRT or VTT.
Give an editor or translator the reviewed French source alongside an English version. Resolve references such as “il”, “elle” and “on” from context, then adjust English subtitle breaks before delivering a single-language or bilingual version.

Choose French (France) in the recording-language selector. It is preselected on this page even though the website is in English. Review a short passage with your speakers and subject matter before processing a larger project.
No. French transcription produces French text. For English text or subtitles, review the French transcript, then choose English in the translation workflow. Translation uses minutes separately.
French (France) is the French recording setting currently listed in Taption. Try a representative clip from your speakers and check local vocabulary, names and numbers. This page does not establish equal accuracy across French-speaking regions or provide a separate Canadian French setting.
Yes. Sign in to edit the transcript while checking the recording. Use participant lists or official spellings for proper names, and review accents and apostrophes in context. Check each occurrence before applying a broad text replacement.
Yes. Upload an audio file such as MP3, WAV or M4A, or a video such as MP4 or MOV. Transcription follows audible speech; it does not extract French text already visible on screen. The guest uploader accepts files up to 5 minutes and 200 MB.
Review the French wording, speaker changes, timing and line breaks, then export SRT or VTT for a subtitle track. Choose subtitled MP4 for text visible in the video, or FCPXML for a compatible editing workflow. Available export options and video quality depend on your plan.
Compare the English translation with the reviewed French source. Confirm names, numbers, negation and who each pronoun refers to. Check regional expressions in the surrounding conversation, then watch at normal speed to make sure the English captions remain readable.
