Understanding the result
The audio player contains the browser recording. When optional speech recognition is enabled and supported, the transcript shows the words returned by the browser service.
Audio and music
Online Dictaphone
Record your voice and download the audio. On browsers with speech recognition, you can also see words appear and save the transcript.

Speech-to-text is unavailable here. You can still record audio.
Audio recording stays in this page. Browser speech recognition may use an external service; use the Voice Recorder for audio-only local recording.
How to use this tool
- Choose the spoken language and press Record.
- Speak clearly; watch the transcript if your browser supports it.

Troubleshooting

Common questions
Why is transcription unavailable?
Speech recognition is not exposed by every browser. Audio recording still works on supported devices.
Will the transcript be perfect?
No. Names, accents, noise and overlapping voices can all cause errors. Review it before using it.
Is speech-to-text required to record?
No. It is optional and off by default; you can record and download audio without enabling transcription.
