FAQ
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 10,000 char/month free plan — 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.
