Convert speech to editable text online

This speech to text converter provides browser-based voice typing for notes, drafts, messages, outlines, interviews, and everyday dictation. Spoken phrases appear as editable text so you can correct punctuation, copy the result, or download a TXT file.

Speech recognition is not equally supported by every browser. In some browsers audio may be sent to the browser vendor’s recognition service, so avoid dictating passwords, payment information, medical records, or other sensitive material unless you understand your browser’s processing policy.

How to use voice typing

  1. Select the language you intend to speak.
  2. Press Start listening and approve microphone permission.
  3. Speak clearly in short, natural phrases while watching the transcript.
  4. Stop listening, proofread the result, then copy or download it.

Tips for more accurate dictation

Record in a quiet place, reduce fan and traffic noise, use the correct input microphone, and keep a consistent distance. Speak names, numbers, and punctuation carefully. Recognition can misunderstand accents, specialist vocabulary, overlapping voices, or weak microphones, so always review important text.

How can I improve transcription accuracy?

Use a quiet room, speak clearly at a steady pace, select the correct language, and keep the microphone close without touching it.
