Turn French video or audio into English subtitles. The speech is transcribed, then translated into English, and exported as SRT, VTT or plain text with the original timings intact.
Audio in French (Français) is transcribed first, then translated into English (English). Because the translation runs on the transcript rather than on the audio, the English subtitle file keeps the timings of the original French speech — each line appears at the moment it was actually said.
Both languages are written in the Latin alphabet, so the file needs nothing from your player beyond that script.
French is spoken principally in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and much of West and Central Africa; English in worldwide. A English subtitle track is what lets one recording reach both audiences without re-recording, re-editing or dubbing it.
Because subtitles are a separate file rather than part of the picture, you can attach several language tracks to the same video and let viewers pick.
French elides heavily in speech — words run together in ways the written form does not show — which makes word boundaries the hard part rather than the vocabulary. African and Québécois French are both well handled.
English has a wider spread of accents than any other language here, and the gap between spelling and pronunciation means recognition leans on context rather than sound alone. Names and technical terms are where errors concentrate, because those are exactly the words context cannot predict.
Four lines of French speech, transcribed and translated, as they come out of the exported SRT. The timings are the French speaker's — translation does not move them, which is why the file drops onto the original video unchanged.
