Catch what was actually said

Liaisons and silent endings make French hard to split into words by ear — the transcript does it for you.

  • Spoken French into English text

    Record a sentence or a voice note and read the meaning seconds later

  • Listen instead of reading

    Tap the speaker to hear the English while you keep watching the person talking

Reply without breaking the conversation

Your English answer goes out in French, in the same thread, and can be played aloud.

  • One thread, both directions

    French in and English out, then the other way round, without starting again

  • Picked up where you left it

    Conversations are saved as topics, so a follow-up tomorrow keeps its context

Formal or informal, as written

French draws a hard line between tu and vous, and administrative French is a language of its own.

  • Polite forms kept intact

    A vous sentence stays polite in English rather than flattening into something blunt

  • Accents and cedillas

    Paste é, è, ê or ç exactly as written and nothing is lost on the way in

Paste the letter, read the English

Admin mail, a rental contract, a message from a colleague — paste it and read what it wants from you.

  • Whole paragraphs at once

    Handles a full letter instead of one line at a time

  • Copy the result

    Take the English into your notes or your reply in one tap

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about translating French into English.

Can it understand fast, spoken French?

Yes — that is what the mic is for. Record the sentence and the English appears a couple of seconds after the speaker stops, including the words that ran together.

Does it keep the difference between tu and vous?

The translation follows the register of the sentence, so a formal vous message reads as polite English rather than as a blunt one-liner.

Can I paste French text instead of speaking?

Yes. Switch to the keyboard and paste a message, an email or a full page of administrative French.

Can I answer in English and send it in French?

Yes. The same conversation works in both directions, and your French reply can be read aloud for the other person.

Does it handle Quebec French?

Yes. The whole sentence is translated in context, so regional vocabulary is read the way it was meant instead of looked up in isolation.

Is it free to use?

Yes, with a free allowance you can use immediately and without an account. Sign in with Google for a larger monthly quota and synced history.
