Question 1

How does speech to text work?

Accepted Answer

Speech to text (also called voice recognition or dictation) converts spoken words captured by your microphone into written text in real-time. This tool uses your browser's built-in Web Speech Recognition API, which processes the audio and matches it against language models to produce an accurate text transcription.

Question 2

Which browser works best for speech to text?

Accepted Answer

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge provide the best speech recognition support with the highest accuracy. Mozilla Firefox has limited support for the Web Speech API. Safari on macOS and iOS also supports speech recognition. For best results, use Chrome or Edge with a good quality microphone.

Question 3

What languages does this speech to text tool support?

Accepted Answer

The available languages depend on your browser's speech recognition engine. Chrome supports over 100 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and many more. Select your language from the dropdown menu before starting your dictation.

Question 4

Is my voice data sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

The speech recognition processing depends on your browser. Chrome sends audio to Google's servers for recognition. However, we do not store, log, or process your voice data on our servers — only your browser interacts with the speech recognition API. The resulting text is kept entirely in your browser session.

Question 5

Can I use speech to text for long-form dictation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This tool is suitable for long-form dictation, note-taking, writing emails, or transcribing meetings. The recognition runs continuously while you speak. You can pause at any time and the transcribed text remains in the editor so you can copy, edit, or download it.
