Get started
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Upload your French audio file
Drag and drop your French audio or video file into a new Descript project. You’ll be prompted to pick French as your transcription language, and the tool will generate a synced transcript with dialogue plus nonverbal sounds. You can also create a fresh recording by clicking the Record icon for a real-time French speech to text experience.
02
Edit your French transcript
Your transcript automatically aligns with the editing timeline. You can remove or rearrange text to adjust the audio, seamlessly cutting filler words or repeats. If there’s a misheard term, highlight it and press ‘C’ for Correct mode to fix the text without changing the underlying audio.
03
Export in your desired format
After refining your French transcript, head to Publish > Export and choose your preferred export type. Options include plain text, rich text, Markdown, HTML, Word, or SRT/VTT subtitles. You can also publish a web link to share or embed your transcripts alongside the audio using Descript’s media player.
