What is the Speech to Text?

Our Speech to Text tool uses the Web Speech API built into your browser to transcribe your voice in real time — no server uploads, no API keys, completely private. Speak naturally and watch your words appear instantly on screen. You can pause, resume, and edit the transcript in place. The tool supports 50+ languages and dialects, lets you choose continuous listening or single-utterance mode, and provides one-click copy, download as TXT, and word/character count. It works on Chrome, Edge, and all Chromium-based browsers on desktop and Android.
