Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Speecher.org

Which French voices does Speecher offer (France, Quebec, Belgium)?
Speecher includes voices for Metropolitan French (France) and Canadian French (Quebec). The exact selection depends on your browser — Microsoft Edge typically offers the widest range, including online Natural voices.
Can it show IPA (API) transcription for French words?
Yes — enable Karaoke mode and you'll see IPA (Alphabet Phonétique International) under every French word as it's spoken. The default "Word + IPA" display covers the whole text at once, so you can read along without clicking word by word.
Does it handle French liaisons, élisions, and silent letters correctly?
Yes — French voices apply native phonological rules including liaisons (les amis → "lez-amis"), élisions (l'arbre), and silent final consonants. Cloud and Universal voices are the most accurate.
Can I download French audio as MP3 for offline practice?
Yes — for Universal voices, click the MP3 button to download. Browser voices play in real time but cannot be exported (a browser API limitation).
How do I turn text into speech?
Paste or type your text in the box above and press play — Speecher reads it aloud with natural AI voices. It is free, runs in your browser, and you can download the result as an MP3.
Does Speecher.org have an on-screen keyboard for French?
Yes. On the Speak page, click the keyboard button next to the Karaoke toggle and the French keyboard opens below the text box. You can type with your mouse or finger without switching your device's layout. Speecher's on-screen keyboard supports 29 languages — including Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese (pinyin and cangjie), Hangul and kana — and on phones it doesn't cover the screen with the system keyboard.
Can I dictate French text by voice?
Yes. Speecher's Speech-to-Text turns your spoken French into editable text: open the Speech-to-Text section and tap the microphone. In Google Chrome the words are recognized in real time as you speak, and it also works in other modern browsers. Over 40 dictation languages are supported.
