FAQ (Speech-to-Text)
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our speech-to-text converter.
Q: What do I need to use this tool?
You need a modern web browser (like Chrome or Edge) with a working microphone and an internet connection. Ensure you grant microphone permission when prompted and use the tool over HTTPS.
How accurate is the transcription?
Accuracy depends on several factors: microphone quality, background noise, clarity of speech, and the chosen language. For best results, speak clearly in a quiet environment.
Is there a limit on how much I can transcribe?
This free tool is designed for general use. While there's no hard limit for continuous recording through the browser API, very long sessions might be less stable. For extensive transcription, consider breaking it into segments.
Are my recordings or transcriptions stored?
No. This tool processes speech in your browser. We do not store your voice data or transcriptions on our servers for this free client-side tool.
Can I upload an audio file for transcription?
Currently, this tool primarily supports live transcription via your microphone. Direct audio file upload and processing is a more complex feature not supported by the basic Web Speech API used here.
Which languages are supported?
The available languages depend on your browser's implementation of the Web Speech API. Commonly supported languages include English (various accents), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and more. The dropdown provides a list of common options.
