How to record your voice online

Three steps. No account.

01

Click Start recording.

Allow the microphone when your browser asks. It records from your default microphone; a headset or an external mic works too. Up to 2 hours per recording.

02

Stop and listen back.

Play it right here before you keep it. Not happy? Record it again. Until you download it, the recording exists only in this tab.

03

Download it, or get the text.

Save it as an .m4a file that plays on any phone or computer, or click Transcribe it for the text with timestamps and speaker labels, in 26 languages.

Online voice recorder: questions

The fine print, plainly.

Is this online voice recorder free?+

Yes. Record and download as often as you like, up to 2 hours per recording, with no account, no email and no watermark. Turning it into text is free too: up to 15 minutes per recording without an account, and up to 2 hours when you sign in free with Apple or Google.

Where is my recording saved?+

Only in this browser tab, until you download it. Nothing is uploaded while you record or play it back. If you close the tab before downloading, the browser asks first, because the recording is gone after that.

What format is the download?+

An .m4a file (AAC audio), which plays in Windows, on a Mac, on iPhone and Android, and in VLC, and which you can send in WhatsApp or by email. In a few browsers it comes out as .webm instead.

Can I save it as an MP3?+

The download is .m4a, which every current phone and computer plays and which is smaller than an MP3 of the same quality. If something only takes MP3, any audio converter turns it into one.

How long can I record?+

Up to 2 hours per recording. Keep this tab open while you record. On a phone, keep the screen on with this page in front: browsers stop the microphone in the background. For long recordings with the phone locked, use the Recordd app.

Can I turn the recording into text?+

Yes. After you stop, click Transcribe it. You get the text with timestamps and each speaker on their own lines, in 26 languages, and you can copy it or download it as text, Markdown or subtitles. The audio is deleted as soon as the transcript is back.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?+

Yes, in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, on phones and computers. Allow the microphone when the browser asks; if you said no before, turn it back on in the site settings of your browser.

Which microphone does it use?+

Your browser's default microphone. To use a headset or a USB mic, plug it in and choose it in your system or browser settings before you start. Echo cancellation and noise suppression are on, which suits speech.

Is my recording private?+

Nothing leaves your device unless you click Transcribe it. Then the audio goes to the transcription service, the text comes back, and the audio is deleted. Nothing is used to train AI.
