What is Speech to Text?
Speech to Text turns your spoken words into written text using your device's microphone and your browser's built-in speech recognition. Multitaskers dictate emails and messages without touching the keyboard, students speak their lecture notes instead of typing them, and people who find typing painful or slow get a practical alternative for everyday writing. Words appear in the text box as you talk, so you can watch the transcript form in real time and correct anything the recognizer mishears.
How to use
- Click the microphone button and grant the browser permission to use your microphone when asked.
- Speak at a natural pace in a reasonably quiet room, keeping the microphone a comfortable distance away.
- Watch your words appear as text; pause whenever you want to review a section.
- Copy the finished transcript and paste it into your document, email, or notes app.
Common use cases
- Hands-free drafting: a commuter dictates a reply to a client email while cooking dinner.
- Lecture notes: a student speaks summaries of key concepts right after class while they are still fresh.
- Accessibility: someone with repetitive-strain injury writes daily messages by voice instead of keyboard.
- Voice memos as text: a field worker converts spoken site observations into a written log for the office.
FAQs
Which browsers support it?
Recognition works best in Chrome and Edge, which expose the Web Speech API reliably. Safari and Firefox support varies by version, so if the microphone button does nothing, try a Chromium-based browser.
How accurate is the transcription?
In quiet conditions with clear speech it is impressively good, but strong accents, background noise, and specialist vocabulary lower accuracy. Always re-read the transcript before sending anything important.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes — browser-based speech recognition sends audio to a recognition service, so an active connection is required while dictating.
Is my voice recorded or stored?
The site itself keeps no permanent record: no signup is required and neither your audio nor your transcript is stored on its servers after your session.
