I have been using this with a lot of success for a while now: https://github.com/KoljaB/RealtimeSTT/tree/master https://github.com/KoljaB/RealtimeSTT/tree/master , it works in real time, without any delays on an old Nvidia card. I tried it with German & English without issues. It should also work for French but might need a bit of tweaking. The code is very straightforward, but depending on the context I'd recommend experimenting with the parameters that would suit you. It's using a model called "Whisper" under the hood. Have fun :)
