I run a small cooking channel and started doing French recipe collaborations last March. The problem? My editor doesn't speak a word of French, and I needed subtitles for three 20-minute videos by Friday. I tried doing it myself with a basic transcription tool, but it mangled every third word—"beurre" became "beurre" sometimes, then "berre," then just gave up on regional accents entirely. What actually worked was uploading the audio, getting back a clean French transcript in about four minutes, then downloading it as an SRT file my editor could drop straight into Premiere. The first video went live with proper captions two days later, and French commenters actually noticed.

Yes. It picks up Quebec, Belgian, Swiss, and regional France accents without mixing up vocabulary. I tested it on a Lyon chef interview and a Montreal baker—both came back accurate, with proper local terms intact.
Upload your audio or paste the YouTube link, select SRT as output, and it generates timecodes automatically. My 18-minute video had 340 captions with timestamps accurate to about half a second.
Just switch the output format to TXT before downloading. I do this for blog posts—takes the same audio and gives me paragraph-style text without any timecodes to clean up.
