Frequently asked questions about
French auto-captioning

How long does it take to auto-caption French videos?

Sonix uses cutting-edge transcription algorithms to caption your French videos in minutes. Our servers can auto-caption a one-hour French video in under 5 minutes. You can then edit and fine-tune using our powerful subtitle editor.
