Get started ->
Upload a French audio or video file by dragging and dropping it into a new Descript project. You’ll be prompted to generate a transcript where you can select French as the transcription language. Descript will generate a synced transcript, capturing dialogue and "wordless media" like sounds and pauses. You can also create a new recording by clicking the Record icon.
By default, your transcript syncs with the editing timeline. You can delete or rearrange the text to edit the audio, easily removing filler words or repetition. To correct transcription errors, such as misspelled names, highlight the text and enter Correct mode by pressing 'C' to make changes without altering the audio.
Once your French transcript is refined, navigate to Publish > Export and choose your preferred export option. You can export the transcript as plain text, rich text, markdown, HTML, Word doc, or SRT/VTT subtitle file. Additionally, you can publish it as a web link to share or embed the transcript alongside the audio using Descript's media player.
