Audio Tools Voice to Text is a free online speech-to-text transcription tool that converts your spoken words into written text in real-time. It works directly in your browser using the Web Speech Recognition API — no software installation, no account registration, and no audio data is ever uploaded to any server.
Simply select your language, click "Start Recording", and speak into your microphone. The tool uses your browser's built-in speech recognition engine to transcribe your speech in real-time. You can see the text appearing as you speak, and when you're done, copy it to your clipboard or download it as a text file.
The Voice to Text tool supports over 60 languages and regional dialects, including English (US/UK), Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and many more European and Asian languages.
Your privacy is our priority. All speech recognition processing happens locally in your browser through the Web Speech API. Your audio is not recorded, stored, or transmitted to our servers. We have no access to your microphone data or transcriptions.
Voice to Text works best in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. These browsers have built-in support for the Web Speech Recognition API. Firefox has limited support for speech recognition. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Edge.
The Web Speech API requires an internet connection and sends audio to the browser vendor (Google for Chrome, Apple for Safari) for processing. Your audio is not stored on our servers — we have no backend.
Over 60 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, and many more. The available languages depend on your browser.
Yes. Voice to text works on Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS. Tap the microphone button and speak — results appear in real-time.
Accuracy depends on your browser's speech recognition engine. Chrome (powered by Google) provides the best accuracy for most languages. Clear speech in a quiet environment gives the best results.
