    AI transcribes every word

    Cliphi detects the language and transcribes the whole thing into clean, readable text, accents and all.

    Read it, or turn it into clips

    Get the full transcript to read, copy, or search. If you want, let Cliphi cut captioned vertical clips in the same language.

Parisian, Québécois, West African

Each differs in sound and turn of phrase. Cliphi was trained across them, so a video from Paris, Montreal, or Dakar reads as clean French.

Handles liaison cleanly

French slides the end of one word into the start of the next. Cliphi follows that flow, so the text breaks where it should instead of word by word.

Detected automatically

You do not have to set the language. Cliphi detects it for you, including non-Latin scripts and the odd switch between languages mid-sentence.

What you get back

A clean, timestamped transcript you can read, search, copy, or export, not a wall of rough auto-captions.

French across France, Canada, and beyond

French is not one accent. Parisian French, Québécois, and the French spoken across West Africa all differ in sound and turn of phrase, and a transcriber tuned to one can trip on the others. Cliphi transcribes French with models trained across the language, so a video from Paris, Montreal, or Dakar comes back as clean French text rather than a rough approximation.

What a French transcript unlocks

A transcript is how a French video gets subtitles for an audience that often watches with the sound off, show notes, a searchable archive, or a written version for a blog or newsletter. Cliphi detects the language for you, so there is nothing to configure before you start.

And because Cliphi clips, the same French video can become captioned vertical clips with French captions, ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, so the transcript and the shorts come out of one paste.

French also runs words together in liaison, where the end of one word slides into the start of the next, which throws off transcribers that work strictly word by word. Cliphi handles that flow, so the text breaks where it should. Paste a short clip or a long recording, and the transcript comes back ready to subtitle for a French audience, quote, or turn into writing.
