Privacy note: This tool uses your browser's built-in speech recognition. In most browsers (e.g. Chrome), your microphone audio is sent to the browser vendor's servers to be transcribed — it does not stay fully on your device. It's free and needs no account, but do not use it for confidential or sensitive speech. Recognition quality and availability depend on your browser (Chrome/Edge work best; Firefox is not supported).
Transcribe speech to text in your browser, free. A speech-to-text tool turns spoken words into written text using your browser's built-in Web Speech API — speak into your microphone and watch the transcription appear live. Recognition runs through the browser, so there's no signup, and you can dictate notes, messages, or drafts hands-free.
It uses the browser's native Web Speech API for live dictation, so you can capture speech as text without installing anything. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.
Speak into your mic and see words transcribed in real time.
Uses the built-in Web Speech API — no app, plugin, or signup required.
Copy the recognized text and paste it into a doc, email, or message.
Start dictating immediately; no account or quota.
It uses the Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition), a built-in browser feature that converts microphone audio into text. You grant microphone permission, speak, and the transcription appears as you talk.
Support is best in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge). Some browsers don't implement SpeechRecognition; if the tool says it's unsupported, try Chrome or Edge on desktop or Android.
Not reliably. Most browsers send audio to a cloud recognition service provided by the browser vendor, so an internet connection is usually required even though there's no separate signup.
No. This tool doesn't record or store your audio — it only displays the text the browser returns. Note the browser's own speech engine may process audio per its vendor's policy.
Check that you've granted microphone permission, that the right input device is selected, and that you're on a supported browser. Background noise and unclear speech also reduce accuracy.
