Speech recognition availability and audio processing depend on your browser. Some browsers may send microphone audio to their speech service; check your browser's privacy policy before dictating sensitive information.
How speech to text works
- Choose the language you plan to speak and allow microphone access when prompted.
- Select Start listening and speak clearly; interim words update while finalized words remain in the editable transcript.
- Stop listening when finished, then correct, copy, or download the text.
The tool uses the browser's Web Speech recognition interface. The browser converts microphone audio into interim and final recognition results; this page joins final results into an editable transcript and never uploads the resulting text to Online Tool Store.
FAQ
Does speech recognition work in every browser?
No. Support is strongest in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge. The page detects unsupported browsers before requesting microphone access.
Is microphone audio processed only on my device?
Not necessarily. The browser provides speech recognition and may send audio to its own speech service. Check your browser privacy policy before dictating sensitive information.
Can I edit the transcript?
Yes. The transcript is a normal text area, so you can correct punctuation, replace words, or add notes before copying or downloading it.
Why does recognition sometimes stop?
A long pause, microphone interruption, permission change, network issue, or browser speech-service limit can end a recognition session. Select Start listening to continue.
Can I download the result?
Yes. Download creates a plain UTF-8 text file directly in your browser. You can also copy the transcript to your clipboard.
