Click the mic and start talking — your words appear as text in real time. This free online tool runs only in Google Chrome; nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Your hands are busy, your thought is clear, but typing it out is slow. Our free online speech to text flips that — you talk, it writes. This voice to text converter uses the microphone you already have; no app to download and no account to make.
Hit Start, pick a language, and dictate. The words land in the box as you speak, ready to copy into an email, a note or a doc. It's the inverse of our Text to Speech tool — speak in, text out.
Great for drafts, captions, quick notes, or anyone who thinks faster than they type. This free online tool runs inside Google Chrome — the only browser it is built for — so open the page in Chrome before you start.
About privacy, plainly: your voice goes to Google Chrome's own speech service, not some random third party, and never to tool80's servers. That also means dictation needs a connection to that service; if your network blocks it, you'll see an error and can fall back to the recorder, which stays completely on your device. (Anonymous traffic analytics only — privacy policy.)
Quick tip: a quiet room and saying "period" out loud gets you better punctuation. If the button does nothing, allow microphone access when the browser asks.
Open this page in Google Chrome, pick a language and click Start listening; speak and your words appear live in the transcript box. Stop ends the session. Google Chrome is required — other browsers are not supported.
Yes. tool80's free online speech to text runs entirely in your browser — no software to download, no account to create, and nothing is uploaded to our servers. Your voice is handled by Google Chrome's own speech engine.
No. It is a free online voice to text converter that works right in your browser. There is no app to install — you only need Google Chrome and a microphone.
You can transcribe what you say, live, for free: open the page in Chrome, click Start listening, and your words appear as text as you speak. Copy or download the transcript when you are done. The built-in recorder can also capture your voice offline, but live dictation is the free online way to turn speech into text.
Google Chrome only. This tool is built on the Web Speech API and works exclusively in Chrome; Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari and other browsers are not supported. If you do not have Chrome, download it free from google.com/chrome.
Live dictation needs an internet connection because Chrome sends your voice to Google's speech service. The built-in recorder works fully offline and stays on your device, but it only captures audio — it does not transcribe it.
The free online speech to text tool supports many languages — English (US/UK), 中文 (普通话), 日本語, 한국어, Français, Deutsch, Español and more. Pick one from the language menu before you start listening.
