French TTS questions

Does Audexum correctly render French nasal vowels?

Yes. French nasal vowels (an/en as /ɑ̃/, in as /ɛ̃/, on as /ɔ̃/, un as /œ̃/) are among the most distinctive sounds in French. The model renders them correctly, not as the vowel + n combination that poorly trained TTS produces.

Is French available on the free tier?

Yes. French is on the free plan (2,000 credits + 250 a day), no credit card required.

How does Audexum handle French liaison?

French liaison (where a final consonant links to the next word's initial vowel) is handled automatically. For example, 'les enfants' is pronounced /le.zɑ̃.fɑ̃/ with the s-z liaison, not /le ɑ̃.fɑ̃/.

Can I use Audexum for Canadian French (Quebec)?

The current French voice model is trained on standard French (Metropolitan/Parisian). For content targeting Quebec specifically, the accent will be perceived as European French. Canadian French phonology (distinctive vowels, certain loanwords) is not currently differentiated.

Audexum speaks 32 languages.
