French Audio to Text

Record or upload French audio to convert it into text to produce transcripts, captions, subtitles, articles, summaries, and other text files. A built-in AI assistant helps you get more out of audio, video, and transcripts with support in French and 20+ other languages. Get up to 1 hour of transcription per month for free.

How to transcribe French audio into text

Upload a French audio or video file by dragging and dropping it into a new Descript project. You’ll be prompted to generate a transcript where you can  select French  as the transcription language. Descript will generate a synced transcript, capturing dialogue and "wordless media" like sounds and pauses. You can also create a new recording by clicking the  Record  icon.

By default, your transcript syncs with the editing timeline. You can delete or rearrange the text to edit the audio, easily removing filler words or repetition. To correct transcription errors, such as misspelled names, highlight the text and enter  Correct  mode by pressing 'C' to make changes without altering the audio.

Once your French transcript is refined, navigate to  Publish > Export  and choose your preferred export option. You can export the transcript as plain text, rich text, markdown, HTML, Word doc, or SRT/VTT subtitle file. Additionally, you can publish it as a web link to share or embed the transcript alongside the audio using Descript's media player.

The voices are really amazing and very natural sounding. Even the voices for other languages are impressive. This allows us to do things with our educational content that would not have been possible in the past.

It's amazing to see that text to speech became that good. Write your text, select a voice and receive stunning and near-perfect results! Regenerating results will also give you different results (depending on the settings). The service supports 30+ languages, including Dutch (which is very rare). ElevenLabs has proved that it isn't impossible to have near-perfect text-to-speech 'Dutch'...

We use the tool daily for our content creation. Cloning our voices was incredibly simple. It's an easy-to-navigate platform that delivers exceptionally high quality. Voice cloning is just a matter of uploading an audio file, and you're ready to use the voice. We also build apps where we utilize the API from ElevenLabs; the API is very simple for developers to use. So, if you need a...

As an author I have written numerous books but have been limited by my inability to write them in other languages period now that I have found 11 labs, it has allowed me to create my own voice so that when writing them in different languages it's not someone else's voice but my own. That's certainly lends a level of authenticity that no other narrator can provide me.

ElevenLabs came to my notice from some Youtube videos that complained how this app was used to clone the US presidents voice. Apparently the app did its job very well. And that is the best thing about ElevenLabs. It does its job well. Converting text to speech is done very accurately. If you choose one of the 100s of voices available in the app, the quality of the output is superior to all...

Absolutely loving ElevenLabs for their spot-on voice generations! 🎉 Their pronunciation of Bahasa Indonesia is just fantastic - so natural and precise. It's been a game-changer for making tech and communication feel more authentic and easy. Big thumbs up! 👍

I have found ElevenLabs extremely useful in helping me create an audio book utilizing a clone of my own voice. The clone was super easy to create using audio clips from a previous audio book I recorded. And, I feel as though my cloned voice is pretty similar to my own. Using ElevenLabs has been a lot easier than sitting in front of a boom mic for hours on end. Bravo for a great AI product!

The variety of voices and the realness that expresses everything that is asked of it

I like that ElevenLabs uses cutting-edge AI and deep learning to create incredibly natural-sounding speech synthesis and text-to-speech. The voices generated are lifelike and emotive.

Speechnotes

Éditeur de texte professionnel à reconnaissance vocale appli web professionnelle, gratuite, rapide, facile à utiliser pour la dictée et la dactylographie.

- Nouveau - Speechnotes pour Android!

Speechnotes est un bloc-notes en ligne puissant à reconnaissance vocale, conçu pour donner vie à vos réflexions au sein d'un environnement soigné et efficace, pour que vous puissiez vous concentrer sur vos idées. Nous nous efforçons à fournir le meilleur outil de dictée en ligne en nous appuyant sur une technologie de reconnaissance vocale de pointe pour proposer un des services les plus précis disponibles aujourd'hui, tout en y ajoutant des outils intégrés (automatiques ou manuels) pour accroître l'efficacité, la productivité et le confort des utilisateurs.

Fonctionne entièrement en ligne dans votre navigateur Chrome. Aucun téléchargement, aucune installation ni aucune inscription n'est nécessaire. Vous pouvez commencer à travailler immédiatement.

Conçu pour inspirer la créativité et favoriser la concentration

Speechnotes a été spécialement conçu pour vous offrir un environnement sans distraction. Chaque prise de note commence sur une nouvelle feuille blanche pour stimuler votre esprit et le préparer à travailler de manière soignée et ordonnée. Tous les autres éléments, à part le texte lui-même, sont masqués en disparaissant en fondu pour que vous puissiez vous concentrer sur le plus important : votre propre créativité. En plus de cela, le fait de parler au lieu de taper vous permet de penser et de parler comme vous le faites couramment, sans interruption, ce qui favorise à nouveau la créativité et la construction de pensées claires. Les polices et couleurs présentes partout dans l'application ont été conçues pour être nettes et extrêmement lisibles.

Évaluations et commentaires d'utilisateurs

Nous ne proposons notre service que depuis peu, mais « ProductHunt » et d'autres magazines internationaux spécialisés dans les technologies ont déjà écrit des articles sur nous. Mais ce sont bel et bien des commentaires de nos utilisateurs que nous tirons le plus de fierté. Speechnotes est l'application de reconnaissance vocale la mieux classée sur le Chrome web store, avec plus de 4,5 étoiles ! Ce qui nous place bien au-dessus d'autres produits en ligne disponibles aujourd'hui. Voici quelques-uns des commentaires d'utilisateurs que nous avons reçus dans le Chrome store :

"I would like to say that I am very pleased with this dictation plug in. It is better and much more accurate than the other two that I have tried. This is definitely my preferred dictation app. In fact, I wrote this review using the app. Thumbs up to the developers!!"

"It does what it says on the tin...& more. Priceless. Tony Hawes. Whose faith has been restored in Apps by this one."

... And there are many more. Read all of them on the Chrome store

Merci beaucoup ! Vos avis nous motivent encore plus à continuer à développer des solutions qui vous aident.

Une alternative gratuite à Dragon Naturally Speaking

Speechnotes est complètement gratuit et permet d'atteindre des résultats similaires à Dragon Naturally Speaking en termes de précision. Beaucoup d'entre vous nous ont même confié qu'à certains égards, Speechnotes est supérieur à Dragon. Il convient de préciser cependant que Speechnotes est une alternative à Dragon pour ce qui est de la dictée seulement, pas pour le contrôle vocal d'autres logiciels ou pour la dictée à reconnaissance vocale dans d'autres logiciels. Dragon propose ces services supplémentaires. Par contre, si vous avez besoin de dicter un article par exemple, vous trouverez Speechnotes non seulement moins cher, mais peut-être même mieux adapté à vos besoins.

Fonctionnalités intégrées pour augmenter la productivité et l'efficacité dans le cadre de la dictée à reconnaissance vocale et de la saisie clavier classique

Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, écrire avec un clavier est une opération lente qui prend beaucoup de temps. Speechnotes vous permet de taper aussi vite que vous parlez (doucement et distinctement). Speechnotes vous permet de passer de la dictée à reconnaissance vocale à la saisie clavier classique de manière on-ne-peut-plus fluide. De cette façon, vous pouvez dicter ou utiliser le clavier, selon ce qui est le plus pratique pour vous. Vous pouvez également dicter et éditer vos résultats tout de suite, pour ainsi continuer à dicter. Pas besoin de passer par certains modes d'édition ou même d'arrêter de dicter. Insérez des signes de ponctuation grâce à la commande vocale ou grâce à un simple clic.

Autres fonctionnalités intégrées pour optimiser la productivité dans les deux méthodes de saisie de texte : La sauvegarde automatique enregistre le document en temps réel à chaque changement, pour que ce ne soit plus un souci pour vous. Vous pouvez exporter vers Google Drive (sauvegarde dans le nuage) ou télécharger un document sur votre ordinateur. Un clic suffit pour imprimer ou envoyer par email votre note. L'appli met une majuscule en début de phrase de manière automatique et intelligente. Aucune inscription, connexion, installation ni aucun téléchargement n'est nécessaire. Le service est immédiatement prêt à l'emploi. Mais alors, où sont stockées toutes les notes enregistrées automatiquement ? Speechnotes stocke toutes vos données sur votre propre ordinateur, via votre navigateur. L'avantage, c'est que vous n'avez pas à vous connecter à quoi que ce soit. L'inconvénient, c'est que vous ne pouvez pas accéder à vos documents à partir d'autres ordinateurs. C'est pour cela que Speechnotes vous permet d'exporter vos documents vers Google Drive. Il existe un autre petit inconvénient : après avoir écrit un certain nombre de notes, vous pourriez manquer d'espace de stockage. Il est donc recommandé de supprimer de temps à autre d'anciennes notes devenues inutiles. Utilisation illimitée gratuite.

Technologie de pointe

Speechnotes s'appuie sur les moteurs de reconnaissance vocale haut de gamme de Google. Dans les faits, tout ce que vous dites est envoyé à Google, qui interprète vos mots en utilisant des serveurs et des algorithmes parallèles puissants, avant de renvoyer un flux de résultats possibles de transcription à Speechnotes. Grâce à une gestion appropriée de ces résultats et un ensemble de commandes pour les moteurs de retranscription parole-texte, nous sommes en mesure d'atteindre des résultats performants en termes de précision, même comparativement à la plupart des logiciels professionnels payants disponibles sur le marché. Ajoutez à cela l'insertion de marques de ponctuation en un clic, la commande vocale et la capitalisation intelligente, et vous obtenez l'une des applications les plus efficaces sur le marché. Quantitativement, vous pouvez vous attendre à atteindre des niveaux de précision supérieurs à 90%.

Bienfaits de la saisie par reconnaissance vocale sur la santé

Resté assis devant son ordinateur peut en général entraîner différents types de microtraumatismes répétés. Pour éviter cela, la meilleure solution est de ne pas rester assis devant son ordinateur trop longtemps. Mais si vous n'avez pas vraiment le choix, vous devriez prendre quelques précautions supplémentaires quant à votre posture. Vous pouvez en savoir plus ici (http://rsi.unl.edu/). La saisie par reconnaissance vocale est l'une des principales alternatives recommandées pour minimiser ces risques, car elle permet de vous asseoir confortablement, tout en libérant complètement vos bras, mains, épaules et dos. Vous pouvez revenir à la saisie classique une fois la dictée terminée pour faire les corrections nécessaires.

Trucs et astuces

Avant d'utiliser le service : Branchez un microphone de haute qualité sur votre PC (si vous avez un microphone intégré, il pourrait ne pas être assez performant). Instructions d'utilisation : 1) Cliquez sur le micro. 2) Lors de la première utilisation seulement : votre navigateur affichera une fenêtre contextuelle pour que vous autorisiez le site à accéder à votre micro. Cliquez sur Autoriser. 3) Commencez à dicter. Parlez lentement et clairement. Espacez vos mots et insistez bien sur la prononciation pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats. 4) Les résultats intermédiaires seront affichés dans la mémoire tampon. Il existe 3 façons pour finaliser sa saisie et sélectionner des résultats de transcription dans la mémoire tampon pour les inclure dans l'éditeur de texte :    (a) Appuyer sur Entrée sur le clavier.    (b) Dire ou cliquer sur un signe de ponctuation.    (c) Attendre. Dépannage : Causes récurrentes de problèmes que vous pourriez rencontrer : 1) Problème matériel avec le microphone 2) Autre navigateur que Chrome 3) Accès refusé au micro 4) Chrome a accédé au mauvais micro Pour résoudre les 2 derniers problèmes, vous devez cliquer sur la petite icône en forme de caméra dans la barre d'adresse du navigateur (apparaît lorsque vous cliquez sur le micro). Vous pourrez ici autoriser Speechnotes à accéder à votre ordinateur et sélectionner le micro qui convient dans la liste déroulante.

Qui peut utiliser Speechnotes ?

Ceux qui sont fatigués de la saisie classique par clavier pourraient trouver Speechnotes fort agréable. L'application pourrait également être utile spécifiquement aux personnes ayant des difficultés à taper sur le clavier, que ces difficultés proviennent d'une mauvaise condition physique, ou tout simplement du manque de maîtrise de la technique de frappe sur le clavier. En outre, les personnes qui écrivent beaucoup sur ordinateur, dans un cadre professionnel ou personnel, pourraient trouver Speechnotes très pratique. En effet, passer des heures à saisir du texte avec le clavier peut devenir assez fatiguant, et cela peut même avoir des conséquences médicales. Inutile de le préciser, mais les transcripteurs (étudiants ou professionnels) trouveront en Speechnotes un outil indispensable. Ils pourront écouter un enregistrement et répéter ce qu'ils entendent dans le micro, Speechnotes s'occupera de retranscrire à leur place.

Compatibilité & Configuration requise

Speechnotes est vraiment une application supportant un grand nombre de plates-formes. Tant que vous l'exécutez dans un navigateur Chrome, elle fonctionnera sans accroc. Pas besoin d'installation, d'espace disque ou de matériel haut de gamme. Elle est compatible avec votre PC de bureau ou ordinateur portable et même Chromebook. Vous pouvez l'utiliser sur vos tablettes et téléphones, mais quelques problèmes persistent sur certains appareils.

Confidentialité

Speechnotes respecte votre vie privée, voilà pourquoi nous ne stockons aucun de vos contenus audio ou textuel ou, plus largement, aucune donnée vous concernant. Ce que vous dites dans le micro est directement envoyé aux moteurs de transcription parole-texte de Google.

Limitation de responsabilité

Bien que nous fassions de notre mieux, les résultats de la transcription peuvent ne pas être tout à fait exacts. Speechnotes est un service fourni en l'état et nous ne pouvons vous garantir qu'il en sera toujours ainsi. Pour cette raison, et parce qu'une défaillance logicielle est toujours possible, nous vous suggérons d'exporter tous vos textes importants, soit vers Google Drive, soit vers votre ordinateur, afin d'être protégé contre toute perte de données potentielle. Nous ne serons en aucun cas responsables de la perte de vos données ou de toute inexactitude dans vos textes.

Nous apprécions vos commentaires et votre soutien

Speechnotes a été développé en 2015 par les équipes de Speechlogger & TTSReader afin d'aider les gens du monde entier à garder une trace de leurs idées, de leurs histoires et de leurs notes de manière simple et commode. Voilà pourquoi l'appli Speechnotes est gratuite et disponible partout dans le monde. La nécessité d'un tel outil logiciel nous est apparue à mesure que nous recevions de nombreux emails de la part de nos utilisateurs. Si vous avez des commentaires, des idées ou certaines exigences, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter, nous sommes impatients de connaître votre point de vue. Si vous aimez Speechnotes, montrez que vous nous soutenez en nous notant dans la boutique Chrome, partagez l'appli avec des amis, ou mentionnez-nous dans vos messages et dans vos blogs. Vos amis et abonnés apprécieront aussi. Vous pouvez également contribuer à notre développement en faisant un petit don (du genre à pouvoir se payer un café de temps à autre).

33 French Conversational Connectors For Smooth Spoken French

As you learn French and begin using longer sentences to express your ideas, you need to know the connectors in French that allow everything to flow together.

Connectors will turn disjointed phrases into joined up sentences, making your French sound more smooth, natural and fluent.

Let’s have a look at an example in English first:

Yesterday, I went for a walk in the park. I arrived at the park. It started raining. I didn’t have an umbrella. I was starting to feel hungry. I decided to take the bus home. I had wasted my day off. It’s always a bad idea to go out without an umbrella in spring. It serves me right.

Compare that with:

Yesterday, I went for a walk in the park. However , when I arrived at the park, it started raining, and unfortunately, I didn’t have an umbrella. Furthermore, I was starting to feel hungry, so I decided to take the bus home instead – but I had wasted my day off. In fact , it’s always a bad idea to go out in spring without an umbrella, so I guess it serves me right.

Which one sounds more natural? Of course it’s the second one. Why? Thanks to the connectors! 

So, to help you out and save you a bit of time, here’s my list of the most important French conversational connectors to get you started.

By the way, if sounding more fluent in French fast is one of your goals, I recommend French Uncovered, which teaches you through StoryLearning®.  Click here  to find out more and try out the method for free.

33 French Conversational Connectors

These are some of the very first words you will learn in French and are essential when forming even the simplest joined-up sentences.

Most of these words work just like their English counterparts.

#1 Et – And

• Example: Je ne veux pas y aller et c’est tout ! – I don’t want to go and that’s that!

#2 Mais – But

• Example: Je ne veux pas y aller, mais tu peux me convaincre – I don’t want to go, but you can convince me

#3 Parce que – Because

• Example: Je ne veux pas y aller parce que ça m’ennuie – I don’t want to go because it bores me

#4 Peut-être – Perhaps, Maybe

• Example: Peut-être qu'on peut y aller après-demain – Perhaps we can go the day after tomorrow

#5 Comme – As, Since

This word in French has several meanings, including “like” (as in “similar”) and “as” (“he’s dressed as a monk”). But here, as a connector, it means “as” or “since”, a meaning that is close to “because”.

• Example: Comme ça m’ennuie, je ne veux pas y aller – Since it bores me, I don’t want to go

#6 Donc – Therefore

This is a useful word and is very common – it’s slightly more formal than alors , which we’ll come to in a moment.

• Example: Je n’ai pas d’argent donc je ne veux pas y aller – I don’t have any money, therefore I don’t want to go
• Example: Je pense donc je suis – I think therefore I am

It's also used in the following expression:

• Example: Quoi donc ? – What then?

Multipurpose Connectors In French To Sound Like A Native

Here are a couple of words that are super-common in French and that have lots of meanings.

Learning how to use them correctly can help make your French sound much more natural. And because they have so many uses, they’re extremely useful words to know.

In fact, I could probably write a whole post just about number 7. But I'll just give you an overview for now!

#7 Alors – So, Then, Therefore

This is a word that can seemingly be made to mean almost anything.

But its primary sense is “so” or “therefore”. It’s often used instead of donc and sounds less formal – the difference between the two is similar to the difference between “so” and “therefore” in English.

Note that when it isn’t being used to connect two parts of a sentence, alors can be placed at the beginning or end of what you say.

In English, we use “so” at the start of the sentence or replace it with “then” – which can go at the start or at the end. See the third example below to see how this works.

• Je n’ai pas d’argent alors je ne veux pas y aller – I don’t have any money, so I don’t want to go
• Je ne le voulais pas alors pourquoi tu l’as acheté ? – I didn’t want it so why did you buy it?
• Alors pourquoi tu l’as acheté?/Pourquoi tu l’as acheté alors ? – So/then why did you buy it?/Why did you buy it then?

Alors can also be used when in English you might say “so” or “well”. And just like in English, it has the full range of nuances, depending on how and when you say it.

Here are just a couple of examples:

• Alors ? – So? Well? (with a rising, questioning intonation – could mean “what do you want?” “how did it go?” “did you find it?” etc. depending on the context)
• Alors ! – Well then! (with a falling intonation, kind of like “I told you so!”)
• Bah alors ! – Well then! There, there! (depending on how you say it, it could mean anything from “well what did you expect?” or “serves you right” to “there, there” said to comfort someone!)

#8 Quand Même – All The Same, Anyway

I remember hearing this expression a lot when I was first learning French. Then – and when I finally worked out how to use it myself, I felt that my French had suddenly made a big jump forward.

It’s such a typically French expression that’s more than just another vocabulary item. And sometimes its meaning defies translation.

The basic sense is something like “all the same”. But you'll hear it used in all kinds of situations with varying nuances. Check out these examples:

• Je ne veux pas y aller mais je vais y aller quand même – I don’t want to go but I will go all the same (the meaning is close to “anyway” – I will go even though I don’t want to)
• Il est quand même un bon jouer – He’s a good player all the same (perhaps some doubt has been expressed about the player’s abilities and the speaker accepts the point but wants to stress that he’s still a good player – ‘yes, sometimes he’s lazy, but he’s a good player all the same’)
• C’est cher mais c’est bon quand même ! – It’s expensive, but it’s good though! (here, the idea being expressed is that although the food is expensive, it’s very good so it’s worth the money)

Quand même can also be used alone as a kind of exclamation to express the idea that something is impressive or considerable.

• Example: C’était combien ? 1.300€. Quand même ! – How much was it? €1,300. Wow, not exactly cheap! (the meaning is that the price is quite considerable – try to imagine it being said with a Gallic rise of the eyebrows, a slight tilt of the head, a little exhalation and a facial “shrug”!)

Other Useful Connectors In French

Most of these words are similar to the English equivalents.

#9 Pourtant – Yet, Still

Similar to “yet” or “still” in English.

• Example: Il est pourtant venu – Yet he came/he still came/yet he still came
• Example: Et pourtant, il est quand même venu – And yet he still came

#10 Cepandant – However

• Example: Il est beau. Cepandant je le trouve très bête – He’s handsome. However, I find him very stupid

#11 (Tout) D’abord – First (Of All)

• Example: D’abord, je vais chercher mon manteau – First, I’m going to fetch my coat

#12 En Général – In General

• Example: En général, ils sont tous comme ça – In general, they’re all like that

#13 En fait – In fact, Actually

Also, see actuellement in the “False Friends” section at the end.

• Example: En fait, je préfère la bière – In fact, I prefer beer

#14 Quant à – As For, Concerning

• Example: Quant à mes amis, ils préfèrent le vin – As for my friends, they prefer wine

#15 D’ailleurs – Moreover, Furthermore

• Example: Non, je ne l’ai pas invité. Et d’ailleurs, je lui ai dit de ne pas venir – No, I didn’t invite him. And moreover, I told him not to come

#16 Au Contraire – On The Contrary

• Example: Au contraire, ce n’est pas du tout ce que je voulais dire – On the contrary, that’s not what I meant at all

#17 Malgré – Despite

• Example: Malgré tout, elle l’aime toujours – Despite everything, she still loves him

#18 Sinon – Otherwise

• Example: Tu lui diras. Sinon il va oublier – Tell him. Otherwise he’ll forget

#19 Dès Que – As Soon As

• Example: On va partir dès qu’il arrive – We’ll leave as soon as he arrives

#20 Quoique – Whatever

This expression is always followed by a subjunctive verb in French .

• Example: Il ne me croit pas, quoique je dise – He doesn’t believe me, whatever I say

#21 Sans Doute – Without

• Example: Sans doute, c’est pour ça – Without doubt, that’s why

#22 Par Contre – On The Other Hand

• Example: S’il fait beau, j’irai. Par contre, s’il pleut, je reste ici – If the weather is good, I’ll go. On the other hand, if it rains, I’ll stay here

#23 En Plus – Furthermore, Additionally, As Well

• Example: Il a volé mon portefeille, et en plus, il m’a insulté ! – He stole my wallet, and furthermore, he insulted me!

#24 Surtout – Above All

• Example: Et surtout, il ne faut pas le dire à personne ! – And above all, you mustn’t tell it to anyone!

#25 De Toute Façon – Anyway

• Example: De toute façon, je vais lui dire – I’m going to tell him anyway

Connectors In French For Expressing Your Opinion

These are words and phrases for when you need to express your opinion.

#26 Je Pense Que… – I Think That…

• Example: Je pense que tu as tort – I think you’re wrong

#27 À Mon Avis – In My Opinion

• Example: À mon avis, ce n’est pas le cas – In my opinion, that’s not the case

#28 Pour Moi – For Me

• Example: Pour moi, ce n’est pas la peine – For me, it’s not worth it

#29 Selon – According To

• Example: Selon mon professeur, ça se dit comme ça – According to my teacher, that’s how it’s said

Connectors In French: False Friend Alert!

To finish, here are a couple of connecting words that many English speakers get wrong – as do many French speakers when they use the English versions.

#31 and #32 are slightly different from English and are easy to confuse. The last is one of the most notorious false friends in the French language.

#30 En Effet – Indeed, Actually

This doesn’t quite mean ‘in effect’. It’s closer to ‘indeed’ or ‘actually’.

• Example: En effet, c’est tout à fait vrai ! – Indeed, it’s completely true!

#31 Finalement – In The End, After All

Be careful here – finalement doesn’t mean “finally” as in “he’s finally arrived”. The true meaning is “in the end” and is used, for example, when the final outcome is not what you expected.

• Example: Ah ! Alors finalement tu as décidé de venir ! – Ah! So you decided to come in the end!

#32 Enfin – Finally, At Last, At Least

If you want to say “finally”, the correct word is enfin – it expresses the idea that something you have been waiting for has finally happened.

• Example: Il a enfin réussi à vendre sa maison ! – He’s finally managed to sell his house!

It also has another meaning that is similar to “at least” in English.

• Example: Il a vendu sa maison. Enfin, c’est ce que j’ai entendu – He sold his house. At least, that’s what I heard

#33 Actuellement – At The Moment, Currently, Right Now

Actuellement DOES NOT mean “actually”! If you want to express “actually”, the closest French expression is en fait (in fact).

Actuellement means “currently” or “at the moment”, and this is why sometimes French people will say things like “I’m busy actually” – they really mean “I’m busy right now”.

• Example: Je ne suis pas disponible actuellement – I’m not available right now/currently

Connectors In French: A Quick Way To Improve Your French

Many of these words are invaluable since they can help you express yourself much more clearly and accurately.

Plus, there are no complicated grammar rules to learn. You can sound more natural and fluent with minimal effort.

En plus , by incorporating them into your active French vocabulary, you can make yourself sound much more like a native speaker.

Et finalement , that’s the goal that everyone is hoping to achieve!

This list is a great start point. But now it's over to you. As you read French and listen to French , notice these connectors. Observe how native people use them in their conversations. How do they pronounce them? Where and when do they use them.

This is great preparation for using them in your conversations with French speakers.

Commencement 2024

Brandeisian, love it.

President Liebowitz, Ron, Chair Lisa Kranc, and other members of the board of trustees, Provost Carol Fierke, fellow honorees, distinguished faculty and staff, proud and relieved parents, calm and serene grandparents, distracted but secretly pleased siblings, ladies and gentlemen, graduating students of the class of 2024, good morning.

I am deeply honored and privileged that you have asked me here to say a few words at such a momentous occasion that you might find what I have to say worthy of your attention on so important a day in all of your lives. Thank you for this honor.

Listen, I am in the business of history. It is not always a happy subject on college campuses these days, particularly when forces seem determined to eliminate or water down difficult parts of our past, particularly when the subject may seem to sum an anachronistic and irrelevant pursuit, and particularly with the ferocious urgency this moment seems to exert on us. It is my job, however, to remind people of the power our past also exerts, to help us better understand what's going on now with compelling story, memory, and anecdote. It is my job to try to discern patterns and themes from history to enable us to interpret our dizzying and sometimes dismaying present.

For nearly 50 years now, I have diligently practiced and rigorously tried to maintain a conscious neutrality in my work, avoiding advocacy if I could, trying to speak to all of my fellow citizens. Over those many decades I've come to understand a significant fact, that we are not condemned to repeat, as the saying goes, what we don't remember. That is a beautiful, even poetic phrase, but not true. Nor are there cycles of history as the academic community periodically promotes. The Old Testament, Ecclesiastes to be specific, got it right, I think. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun. What those lines suggest is that human nature never changes or almost never changes. We continually superimpose that complex and contradictory human nature over the seemingly random chaos of events, all of our inherent strengths and weaknesses, our greed and generosity, our puritanism and our prurience, our virtue, and our venality parade before our eyes, generation after generation after generation. This often gives us the impression that history repeats itself. It does not. "No event has ever happened twice, it just rhymes," Mark Twain is supposed to have said. I have spent all of my professional life on the lookout for those rhymes, drawn inexorably to that power of history. I am interested in listening to the many varied voices of a true, honest, complicated past that is unafraid of controversy and tragedy, but equally drawn to those stories and moments that suggest an abiding faith in the human spirit, and particularly the unique role this remarkable and sometimes also dysfunctional republic seems to play in the positive progress of mankind.

During the course of my work, I have become acquainted with hundreds if not thousands of those voices. They have inspired, haunted, and followed me over the years. Some of them may be helpful to you as you try to imagine and make sense of the trajectory of your lives today.

Listen, listen. In January of 1838, shortly before his 29th birthday, a tall, thin lawyer prone to bouts of debilitating depression addressed the young men's lyceum in Springfield, Illinois. "At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?" He asked his audience, "Shall we expect some trans-Atlantic military giant to step the earth and crush us at a blow?" Then he answered his own question. "Never. All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all time or die by suicide." It is a stunning, remarkable statement, one that has animated my own understanding of the American experience since I first read it more than 40 years ago. That young man was of course Abraham Lincoln, and he would go on to preside over the closest this country has ever come to near national suicide, our civil war, and yet embedded in his extraordinary, disturbing, and prescient words is also a fundamental optimism that implicitly acknowledges the geographical forcefield two mighty oceans east and west and two relatively benign neighbors north and south have provided for us since the British burned the White House in the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott Key.

Lincoln's words that day suggest what is so great and so good about the people who happen to inhabit this lucky and exquisite country of ours. That's the world you now inherit: our work ethic and our restlessness, our innovation and our improvisation, our communities and our institutions of higher learning, our suspicion of power. The fact that we seem resolutely dedicated to parsing the meaning between individual and collective freedom; What I want versus what we need. That we are all so dedicated to understanding what Thomas Jefferson really meant when he wrote that mysterious phrase, "The pursuit of happiness". Hint, it happens right here in the lifelong learning and perpetual improvement this university is committed to.

But the isolation of those two oceans has also helped to incubate habits and patterns less beneficial to us: our devotion to money and guns and conspiracies, our certainty about everything, our stubborn insistence on our own exceptionalism blinding us to that which needs repair, especially with regard to race and ethnicity. Our preoccupation with always making the other wrong at an individual as well as a global level. I am reminded of what the journalist I.F. Stone once said to a young acolyte who was profoundly disappointed in his mentor's admiration for Thomas Jefferson. "It's because history is tragedy," Stone admonished him, "Not melodrama." It's the perfect response. In melodrama all villains are perfectly villainous and all heroes are perfectly virtuous, but life is not like that. You know that in your guts and nor is our history like that. The novelist, Richard Powers recently wrote that, "The best arguments in the world," — and ladies and gentlemen, that's all we do is argue — "the best arguments in the world," he said, "Won't change a single person's point of view. The only thing that can do that is a good story." I've been struggling for most of my life to do that, to try to tell good, complex, sometimes contradictory stories, appreciating nuance and subtlety and undertow, sharing the confusion and consternation of unreconciled opposites.

But it's clear as individuals and as a nation we are dialectically preoccupied. Everything is either right or wrong, red state or blue state, young or old, gay or straight, rich or poor, Palestinian or Israeli, my way or the highway. Everywhere we are trapped by these old, tired, binary reactions, assumptions, and certainties. For filmmakers and faculty, students and citizens, that preoccupation is imprisoning. Still, we know and we hear and we express only arguments, and by so doing, we forget the inconvenient complexities of history and of human nature. That, for example, three great religions, their believers, all children of Abraham, each professing at the heart of their teaching, a respect for all human life, each with a central connection to and legitimate claim to the same holy ground, violate their own dictates of conduct and make this perpetually contested land a shameful graveyard. God does not distinguish between the dead. "Could you?"

[Audience applauding]

"Could you?" A very wise person I know with years of experience with the Middle East recently challenged me, "Could you hold the idea that there could be two wrongs and two rights?"

Listen, listen. In a filmed interview I conducted with the writer James Baldwin, more than 40 years ago, he said, "No one was ever born who agreed to be a slave, who accepted it. That is, slavery is a condition imposed from without. Of course, the moment I say that," Baldwin continued, "I realize that multitudes and multitudes of people for various reasons of their own enslave themselves every hour of every day to this or that doctrine, this or that delusion of safety, this or that lie. Anti-Semites, for example," he went on, "are slaves to a delusion. People who hate Negroes are slaves. People who love money are slaves. We are living in a universe really of willing slaves, which makes the concept of liberty and the concept of freedom so dangerous," he finished. Baldwin is making a profoundly psychological and even spiritual statement, not just a political or racial or social one. He knew, just as Lincoln knew, that the enemy is often us. We continue to shackle ourselves with chains we mistakenly think is freedom.

Another voice, Mercy Otis Warren, a philosopher and historian during our revolution put it this way, "The study of the human character at once opens a beautiful and a deformed picture of the soul. We there find a noble principle implanted in the nature of people, but when the checks of conscience are thrown aside, humanity is obscured." I have had the privilege for nearly half a century of making films about the US, but I have also made films about us. That is to say the two letter, lowercase, plural pronoun. All of the intimacy of "us" and also "we" and "our" and all of the majesty, complexity, contradiction, and even controversy of the US. And if I have learned anything over those years, it's that there's only us. There is no them. And whenever someone suggests to you, whomever it may be in your life that there's a them, run away. Othering is the simplistic binary way to make and identify enemies, but it is also the surest way to your own self imprisonment, which brings me to a moment I've dreaded and forces me to suspend my longstanding attempt at neutrality.

There is no real choice this November. There is only the perpetuation, however flawed and feeble you might perceive it, of our fragile 249-year-old experiment or the entropy that will engulf and destroy us if we take the other route. When, as Mercy Otis Warren would say, "The checks of conscience are thrown aside and a deformed picture of the soul is revealed." The presumptive Republican nominee is the opioid of all opioids, an easy cure for what some believe is the solution to our myriad pains and problems. When in fact with him, you end up re-enslaved with an even bigger problem, a worse affliction and addiction, "a bigger delusion", James Baldwin would say, the author and finisher of our national existence, our national suicide as Mr. Lincoln prophesies. Do not be seduced by easy equalization. There is nothing equal about this equation. We are at an existential crossroads in our political and civic lives. This is a choice that could not be clearer.

Listen, listen. 33 years ago, the world lost a towering literary figure. The novelist and storyteller, not arguer, Isaac Bashevis Singer. For decades he wrote about God and myth and punishment, fate and sexuality, family and history. He wrote in Yiddish a marvelously expressive language, sad and happy all at the same time. Sometimes maddeningly all knowing, yet resigned to God's seemingly capricious will. It is also a language without a country, a dying language in a world more interested in the extermination or isolation of its long suffering speakers. Singer, writing in the pages of the Jewish Daily Forward help to keep Yiddish alive. Now our own wonderfully mongrel American language is punctuated with dozens of Yiddish words and phrases, parables and wise sayings, and so many of those words are perfect onomatopoeias of disgust and despair, hubris and humor. If you've ever met a schmuck, you know what I'm talking about. [audience laughs] Toward the end of his long and prolific life, Singer expressed wonder at why so many of his books written in this obscure and some said useless language would be so widely translated, something like 56 countries all around the world. "Why," he would wonder with his characteristic playfulness, "Why would the Japanese care about his simple stories of life in the shtetls of Eastern Europe 1,000 years ago?" "Unless," Singer paused, twinkle in his eye, "Unless the story spoke of the kinship of the soul." I think what Singer was talking about was that indefinable something that connects all of us together, that which we all share as part of organic life on this planet, the kinship of the soul. I love that.

Okay, let me speak directly to the graduating class. Watch out, here comes the advice. Listen. Be curious, not cool. Insecurity makes liars of us all. Remember, none of us get out of here alive. The inevitable vicissitudes of life, no matter how well gated our communities, will visit us all. Grief is a part of life, and if you explore its painful precincts, it will make you stronger. Do good things, help others. Leadership is humility and generosity squared. Remember the opposite of faith is not doubt. Doubt is central to faith. The opposite of faith is certainty. The kinship of the soul begins with your own at times withering self-examination. Try to change that unchangeable human nature of Ecclesiastes, but start with you. "Nothing so needs reforming," Mark Twain once chided us, "As other people's habits." [audience laughs]

Don't confuse success with excellence. Do not descend too deeply into specialism. Educate all of your parts, you will be healthier. Do not get stuck in one place. "Travel is fatal to prejudice," Twain also said. Be in nature, which is always perfect and where nothing is binary. Its sheer majesty may remind you of your own atomic insignificance, as one observer put it, but in the inscrutable and paradoxical ways of wild places, you will feel larger, inspirited, just as the egotist in our midst is diminished by his or her self regard.

At some point, make babies, one of the greatest things that will happen to you, I mean it, one of the greatest things that will happen to you is that you will have to worry, I mean really worry, about someone other than yourself. It is liberating and exhilarating, I promise. Ask your parents.

[Audience laughs]

Choose honor over hypocrisy, virtue over vulgarity, discipline over dissipation, character over cleverness, sacrifice over self-indulgence. Do not lose your enthusiasm, in its Greek etymology the word enthusiasm means simply, "god in us". Serve your country. Insist that we fight the right wars. Denounce oppression everywhere.

Convince your government, as Lincoln understood that the real threat always and still comes from within this favored land. Insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts.

[Audience cheering]

They have nothing to do with the actual defense of our country; They just make our country worth defending.

Remember what Louis Brandeis said, "The most important political office is that of the private citizen." Vote. You indelibly... [audience applauding] Please, vote. You indelibly underscore your citizenship, and most important, our kinship with each other when you do. Good luck and godspeed.

Biden enlisted the help of black alumni when writing Morehouse commencement speech

President Joe Biden turned to Morehouse College alumni ahead of his commencement speech to the historically black college .

Biden had meetings with Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr. of the Morehouse Board of Trustees, along with Morehouse alumni Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, and Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed before his speech Sunday per sources cited by CNN. The Washington Examiner reached the Biden campaign for comment.

Already, White House Office of Public Engagement Director Steve Benjamin met with Morehouse College students last week to discuss concerns regarding the president’s speech. Benjamin promised students at the time Biden's speech would not be campaign-related.

This comes after the president announced he would participate in two debates against his rival, former President Donald Trump, instead of those moderated by the Commission on Presidential Debates , including one at VSU on Oct. 1. It was meant to be the second of three presidential debates in a series that the commission chose, including two other debates in Texas and Utah. VSU would have been the first historically black university to host such an event.

“No administration has respected, elevated and invested in HBCU's like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris," campaign Black Media Director Jasmine Harris said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "Just this week the Biden-Harris administration announced $16 billion dollars in funding for HBCUs, further demonstrating their commitment to these distinguished institutions.”

A  Wall Street Journal poll  from last month found 30% of black voters were planning to probably or definitely vote for Trump over incumbent President Joe Biden. This is a massive swing from the  2020 election , where Biden swept 92% of the black vote.

In 2020, black voters made up 13.5% of all eligible voters.  According  to the Pew Research Center, they are expected to make up 14% in 2024.
