About this tool
Speech recognition is helpful for quick notes, rough drafts, meeting reminders, and accessibility experiments. This page uses the browser Web Speech recognition interface where available. Support varies a lot by browser, language, and device, so the transcript should always be reviewed before it is shared or pasted into important work.
How to use it
- Choose a language code, then click start and allow microphone access when the browser asks.
- Speak clearly in a quiet place and watch interim text before adding it to the final transcript.
- Stop recording, edit the transcript, then copy or download the result.
Tips and common mistakes
- Do not dictate passwords, private IDs, medical information, or confidential notes into any browser feature unless you understand the privacy behavior.
- Names, punctuation, numbers, and acronyms often need manual correction after recognition.
- Use short sessions for cleaner transcripts, especially on laptops with noisy microphones.
FAQ
Why does the start button do nothing?
Your browser may not support the Web Speech recognition API, or microphone permission may be blocked.
Can I choose another language?
Yes. Enter a language code such as en-US, en-GB, es-ES, or fr-FR if your browser supports it.
Is the transcript perfect?
No. Treat it as a draft and proofread every important sentence.
