Free Speech to Text

Turn a voice recording into text with Whisper in your browser.

You can also dictate with the browser's speech recognizer, which may be processed by your browser vendor. File transcription covers the first 30 seconds.

Transcribe downloads Whisper in this browser and reads only the first 30 seconds. The file is not uploaded. Dictate still uses the browser speech recognizer, and microphone audio may be sent to the browser vendor.

    Files are processed in this browser tab. This tool does not ask for an account or upload your file.

    Free Speech to Text FAQ

    Do I need an account?

    No. Open the page and use it.

    Is my file uploaded?

    No. Files are processed in this browser tab. This tool does not ask for an account or upload your file.

    Is there a watermark?

    No. PoYo adds nothing to the download.

    Why does it pause the first time?

    Some tools download an encoder or AI model on the first run. That download contains none of your file, and later runs are usually faster.
