French Auto Captions

French short-form video is a big market on its own: France is one of the most active TikTok countries in Europe, French streamers run some of the largest Twitch channels in the world, and the French podcast scene has grown into long interview formats that clippers mine every week. Quebec, Belgium, Switzerland and francophone Africa add audiences who share the same captioned clips.

French uses the Latin alphabet with accents, the cedilla and elisions like l'avenir and qu'il, and French punctuation puts a space before question and exclamation marks. Transcription handles the accents well; the lines to check are proper names, verlan slang in streamer clips and Quebec expressions that differ from Parisian French. Crayo transcribes the speech as French when you pick it.

A practical tip: French sentences run longer than English ones, so a style that shows three or four words at a time keeps captions readable without filling the frame, and a highlight on the active word helps viewers follow fast streamer speech. Preview the style on your clip before exporting.
