This tool uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition interface) to convert spoken words into text in real-time. When you speak into your microphone, the browser processes your speech locally or via a cloud service (depending on your browser) and returns the transcribed text. For audio files, play the file through your speakers while the microphone captures the sound for transcription. No data is stored on any server — everything happens in your browser.

The Web Speech API is best supported in Google Chrome (desktop & Android), Microsoft Edge, and Samsung Internet. Safari has limited support (partial in iOS 14.5+). Firefox does not fully support SpeechRecognition at this time. For the best experience, we recommend using Chrome or Edge on a desktop or laptop computer with a good-quality microphone.

Yes. This tool processes speech entirely within your browser. We do not record, store, or transmit your audio or text to any external server. In Chrome and Edge, speech recognition may use Google's or Microsoft's cloud services for improved accuracy, but this happens through the browser's secure API — our website never sees your raw audio data. You can also use this tool offline in some browsers with on-device recognition.

Accuracy depends on several factors: microphone quality, background noise, speaking clarity, accent, and the selected language. In ideal conditions (quiet room, clear speech, good microphone), accuracy can reach 90–95%. For best results: use an external microphone, speak clearly at a moderate pace, minimize background noise, and select the correct language/accent variant. You can always manually edit the transcribed text afterward.

Yes — with a workaround. Upload your audio file, then play it through your speakers while the microphone captures the sound. The tool will transcribe the audio in real-time as it plays. For better accuracy: use good speakers, place the microphone close to the speaker, reduce ambient noise, and consider using stereo mix or virtual audio routing on your system for direct audio capture. Slowing down playback speed (0.5x–0.75x) can also improve accuracy.

The audio player supports MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and most common audio formats. The maximum file size is 100MB. For very long recordings, consider splitting them into smaller segments for easier transcription. Files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded to any server.

We support 30+ languages and regional variants, including English (US/UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Arabic, Hindi, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Croatian, Catalan, and Filipino. Select your language from the dropdown menu before starting.

Speech recognition may stop if: there is a prolonged silence (typically 30–60 seconds), the browser tab becomes inactive, the microphone permission is revoked, or there's a network interruption. Enable Continuous Mode in settings to minimize unexpected stops. If recognition stops, simply click the microphone button again to resume. On mobile devices, ensure the screen stays on and the browser remains in the foreground.

Absolutely. The transcription area is fully editable. You can click into the text box at any time to correct errors, add punctuation, or restructure sentences. You can also pause transcription, edit the existing text, and then resume. All editing happens locally — your changes are never sent anywhere. Use the Copy button to copy the final text or Download TXT to save it as a file.

Yes, this tool is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. On Android (Chrome), speech recognition works well. On iOS (Safari), support is available from iOS 14.5+ but may have limitations. For mobile use, ensure you grant microphone permissions when prompted, keep the browser active, and use a stable internet connection for best results. The interface adapts to smaller screens for comfortable mobile use.
