Why Transcapt

Quebec French distinguishable from Metropolitan

Québécois has distinctive vocabulary (char, chum, dépanneur) and pronunciation that trip up models trained on Parisian French. Transcapt handles both variants without forcing one onto the other.

Accented French speakers supported

African French (Senegal, Ivory Coast), Belgian French, and Swiss French all transcribe with reasonable accuracy. French is an international language — the model treats it as such.

Punctuation and accents preserved

French requires careful accent placement (é, è, ê, ë, ç, etc.) and punctuation conventions (non-breaking spaces before : ; ! ?). Transcapt's French output respects these conventions out of the box.

Free for YouTube French content

YouTube transcription is free on Transcapt. Great for French podcasts, news clips, educational content, and interview archives.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is Transcapt on Québécois?+

Transcapt handles Québécois vocabulary and pronunciation with high accuracy. Speed and informal slang are the main challenge — a fast Québécois speaker on phone-quality audio may see slightly higher WER than a slow Parisian speaker in a studio.

Does Transcapt support French Canadian slang?+

Yes. Common Québécois terms (char, chum, blonde, dépanneur, magasiner, téléphone intelligent) are preserved in transcripts without being 'corrected' to Metropolitan French equivalents.

Can I transcribe French interviews for journalism?+

Yes. Transcapt is popular with journalists for interview transcription across many languages. Export as DOCX for Word editing or TXT for lightweight note-taking workflows.

Does Transcapt format numbers and dates correctly in French?+

Yes. French conventions for numbers (commas as decimal separators), dates (DD/MM/YYYY), and times are respected in output.

Is there a premium tier for legal French transcription?+

Not yet. Transcapt is AI-only. For legally-attestable French transcripts, you'll need a certified human transcriber. For journalism, research, podcasts, and content workflows, the AI output is standard practice.
