About French Transcription
French is spoken by 280M+ people worldwide, primarily in France, Canada, Belgium. French liaison, the pronunciation of a normally silent word-final consonant before a vowel-initial word, and elision create spoken patterns that differ substantially from written form. Whisper large-v3 handles these well with approximately 3–5 % WER on standard French.
Writing system: French uses the Latin alphabet with diacritics (é, è, ê, à, â, ç, ù, û, î, ï, ô, œ, æ) that are phonemically significant and essential for correct meaning, dropping them changes words.
