Frequently Asked Questions
Which browsers support speech to text? +
Speech recognition is best supported in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based). Safari has partial support. Firefox does not currently support the Web Speech API for speech recognition. For the best experience, use Chrome.
Is my speech data sent to a server? +
The Web Speech API may send audio to the browser vendor's servers for processing (e.g., Google's servers for Chrome). This tool itself does not store or transmit any data. Your transcript stays in your browser.
How accurate is the transcription? +
Accuracy depends on your microphone quality, background noise, speaking clarity, and the language selected. In quiet environments with clear speech, accuracy is typically very high. Technical terms or uncommon words may be less accurate.
Can I use this for long recordings? +
This tool uses continuous recognition mode, so it will keep transcribing as long as you speak. However, the browser may occasionally pause recognition due to silence detection. Simply click Start again if it stops.
What languages are supported? +
This tool supports many languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and Russian. The available languages depend on your browser's speech recognition engine.
