French transcription
French transcription, subtitles, and audio translation
Hushscript turns a French recording into editable written text, and it never trains models on your recordings. Preview up to 5 minutes with automatic source-language detection, then transcribe the full file and export a document, captions, or subtitles. If needed, the full job can also add a written English translation or translate recorded English into French text.

- Hushscript removes its transcription audio after processing, never trains on your recordings, and encrypts stored transcripts at rest.
Hushscript converts recorded French speech into written text you can search, correct, and export. Use it for an interview, lecture, voice note, video, or saved conversation. French supports speaker labels, so dialogue can remain separated by speaker.
French speech to text from recorded audio
Add French audio or video and preview up to 5 minutes before signup. The preview detects the source language automatically and shows the original French transcript. For the full job, recordings can run up to 10 hours, and the editor lets you correct words, rename speakers, and search the text.
French transcription services in Hushscript are automated: you review the result in the editor, then export it in 21 unwatermarked formats, including TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT. Machine transcripts can contain errors, so check names and terms first.
French subtitling and captioning with SRT or VTT
For French subtitling, transcribe the recording, review the timed text, and export SRT, VTT, or another subtitle format. The same workflow produces French caption files for recorded video. Hushscript creates the text and timing file; it does not burn captions into the video.
If you already have subtitles and only need another format, use the free subtitle converter instead of transcribing the media again.
Canadian French transcription services from your recording
Hushscript transcribes Canadian French speech with French as the source language. Use the preview to judge how it handles your recording. For the full transcription, select French and add names or recurring terms as keyterms or dictionary context if needed. Region-specific accuracy, local human transcribers, and proofreading are not part of the service, so the preview is your check.
English to French voice translation as written text
For a recorded English voice, set English as the source in the full job and add French as an optional translation target. Hushscript keeps the Original English and written French translation in separate language tabs. The reverse direction is also supported for French recordings that need written English.
The result is text rather than spoken output. The result has no synthesized French voice, no pronunciation of typed words, no dubbing, and no live microphone feed. Each optional translation target adds 25% of the recording duration to billed minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe French audio to text free online?
Preview up to 5 minutes before signup. A full French transcription uses personal minutes; eligible personal accounts can receive 30 free minutes once after successful card verification, or with their first purchase if not already granted. Then it is pay-as-you-go.
Can I create French subtitles or captions?
Yes. Transcribe the French recording, correct the text and speaker names, then export SRT, VTT, or another subtitle format. Hushscript provides the timed text file; it is not a video editor that burns captions into the picture.
Can Hushscript transcribe Canadian French?
Yes. Select French as the source for Canadian French recordings. Region-specific accuracy and human review are not promised, so use the preview to check your actual recording before running the full job.
Can I translate recorded English voice to French text?
Yes. For the full job, set English as the source and optionally add French as a translation target. The output is a written French transcript in a separate language tab, not synthesized French voice audio.
Can I translate French audio to English text?
Yes. Set French as the source and add English as a translation target if needed. Each selected translation target adds 25% of the recording duration to billed minutes.
Is this a human French transcription service?
No. Hushscript is automated transcription software for recorded media. It is not a marketplace for French transcribers, a human-reviewed service, or a certified transcription company.
Can Hushscript turn text into French speech or pronounce French words?
No. Hushscript works in the other direction: it turns speech in a recording into written text. It does not generate French speech from text or act as an online pronunciation tool.
