Pro Tips for Accurate Transcription

• Speak punctuation: say "comma", "period", "question mark", "new line" — most engines insert them literally.
• Short phrases win: natural sentences of 5–15 words recognize far better than long run-ons.
• Quiet room, close mic: 15–30 cm from the microphone dramatically cuts errors.
• Audio files: this tool captures live mic only. To transcribe a recording, play the file aloud near your mic — or on Windows enable "Stereo Mix" as input to route audio directly.
• Review names & numbers: speech engines struggle with unusual names and long numbers — scan the transcript before downloading.
• If recognition stops unexpectedly, the tool auto-restarts it — just keep talking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — this page. It uses the speech engine built into your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on: unlimited dictation, no account, no word limits, no watermark. Download the transcript as .TXT for free.

Choose your language, press Start Listening, allow microphone access, and speak. Your words appear live in the transcript box. Press Stop, edit if needed, then copy or download the text.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge support it fully (desktop and Android). Safari supports it on newer versions. Firefox does not support the Web Speech API — if you're on Firefox, the status chips above will tell you and suggest switching.

Safari can recognize some languages fully on-device. Chrome and Edge stream audio to their secure online speech service, so they need an internet connection. This website itself stores nothing either way.

This tool listens through your microphone only. Easy workaround: play your audio file out loud near the mic (use speakers at normal volume). On Windows, advanced users can set "Stereo Mix" as the recording input to route file audio directly into the tool.

20+ are preloaded in the selector: English (US/UK/AU/India), Hindi, Urdu, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Bengali, Tamil and more. Your browser may support additional ones.

Partly — newer Chrome versions auto-punctuate some speech. For reliable results, say punctuation aloud: "comma", "period", "question mark", "new paragraph". You can always tidy up in the editable box before copying.

This website has no server — nothing can be stored here. Recognition is handled by your browser's own speech engine: Chrome/Edge send audio to their speech service for processing (governed by Google/Microsoft privacy policies), while Safari can process on-device. Your transcript stays in your browser until you copy or download it.
