Speech to Text
Speak into your microphone and see it transcribed live using your browser's built-in speech recognition.
About this tool
Dictating notes, drafts, or messages is often faster than typing them. This tool uses your browser's built-in speech recognition to transcribe your voice live as you speak, directly on your device.
How to use it
- Click the microphone button and allow microphone access if prompted.
- Speak clearly; the transcription appears live in the text box.
- Click stop when finished, then copy the transcribed text.
Tips
- Browser support for speech recognition varies — Chrome has the most reliable support; some browsers don't support it at all.
- Background noise can reduce transcription accuracy, so a quiet room gives better results.
- Punctuation isn't added automatically in most browsers — you may need to add periods and commas manually afterward.
FAQ
Is my voice recording uploaded anywhere?
Speech recognition here runs through your browser's built-in engine; check your browser's own privacy documentation for exactly how it processes audio, since this varies by browser vendor.
Why doesn't the microphone button do anything?
Your browser may not support the Web Speech API, or microphone permission may have been denied — check your browser's site settings.
