Pick French and English, tap the mic, and start talking. The translation appears live on screen, right in your browser.
Four things that are actually true of this language pair.
Tu is casual, vous is formal: and vous also conjugates the verb as if addressing more than one person, even when it's just one. A translation that ignores which one was used misses a real social signal, not just a word choice.
"Satisfied client" is un client satisfait or une cliente satisfaite depending on gender, and satisfaits or satisfaites if there's more than one, four different adjective forms for one English word, and getting the noun's gender wrong breaks the agreement throughout the sentence.
"Je dois faire un follow-up avec le client" builds a French sentence around an English noun, and that's ordinary in French business and tech culture, especially in Canada and startup circles. Expect embedded English terms to stay recognizable rather than get translated a second time.
Four settings that separate a rough session from a clean one.
Set names and technical terms specific to this French-English pair in advance, so they read back the same way every session.
Send the link to your French session to anyone who needs it. They'll hear the live English translation from their own browser, no account required.
Auto-detect recognizes more than one spoken language in the same session, useful when French isn't the only language in the room before it's turned into English.
Your French to English session lands in an editor afterward with every line tied to its timestamp, so a doubtful line is a quick replay, not a full re-listen.
Sourcing calls and partnership meetings where a French-speaking counterpart needs to be understood in English without a delay for translation.
Contract discussions and regulatory calls between English-speaking teams and French-speaking counsel, where precision matters.
Journalists conducting live interviews in French hear the English translation as their source speaks, with every line traceable back to its exact moment before a quote runs.

No moment gets flagged automatically. The editor times every word to the audio and highlights it during playback instead, so checking the French recording against the translation is a matter of scrubbing to the spot you want.
The English translation reads naturally rather than word for word, but the underlying audio is always there to confirm exactly how formal the original register was.
Yes. Your French to English session opens in an editor afterward with the audio aligned to every line, ready to correct and export.
Yes, speaker detection keeps each person's French lines separate and labeled as they're translated into English, rather than merging everyone into one stream.
Yes. French to English translation is free to start, with no card or account required.
Yes. Recognition and voices cover both France and Canada.
No special setup is needed for ordinary French-English mixing. When a conversation isn't going to stay in French the whole way through to English, auto-detect handles the switch instead of you resetting the source language mid-session.
Sharing a French to English session with more than the two people on the call is a paid-plan feature, not something the free tier includes.
Not in live Translate mode, that's captions only. Dubbing, the tab next to it, adds spoken English audio, either from a stock voice or a clone of the original French speaker's voice.
