Tips for French transcription
- Leave the language on French, especially for recordings that open with music or an English greeting.
- Use “Accurate” rather than “Fast”; the larger model handles fast, connected speech better.
- Québécois, Belgian, Swiss, and African French all work, though strong regional accents or slang may need some corrections.
- Need English? Choose “Translate to English” under Output.
