Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this free tool.

Is this voice-to-text tool really free?▾

Yes — completely free, unlimited, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no time limit. There is nothing to install and no credit card required.

Does my audio get uploaded to a server?▾

No. Live dictation uses your browser's built-in speech recognition, and the audio-file transcriber runs an AI model (Whisper) directly inside your browser via WebAssembly. Your voice and recordings never leave your device — there is no upload.

Which browsers are supported?▾

Live microphone dictation works best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (and Chrome on Android). The audio-file transcriber runs in any modern browser, including Firefox and Safari, because it does not depend on the browser's speech engine.

How accurate is the transcription?▾

Accuracy is very good for clear speech in a quiet room with a decent microphone. Speaking at a natural pace, avoiding heavy background noise, and using a headset mic all improve results. You can always edit the transcript directly in the box.

Can I add punctuation by voice?▾

Yes. Say commands like “period”, “comma”, “question mark”, “new line”, or “new paragraph” and the tool inserts the right character automatically.

Can I export the text?▾

Yes — copy to clipboard with one click, or download as a .txt file. The audio-to-text and subtitle tools can also export timestamped .srt subtitles.
