Frequently Asked Questions
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge support the Web Speech Recognition API fully. Firefox has experimental support but it is disabled by default. Safari on iOS supports recognition in newer versions. For the most reliable experience, use Chrome or Edge on desktop.
It depends on your operating system. Most browsers use voices installed on your device for playback. These are downloaded once automatically and can then work offline. Some high-quality cloud voices may require an internet connection. Local system voices (marked "offline" in the voice list) always work without a connection.
In Chrome, the Web Speech API sends audio to Google's speech recognition servers to process the transcription. This is handled by the browser, not by this website. Firefox uses on-device recognition when available, keeping audio local. This tool itself never receives, stores, or transmits your audio or transcription text.
The number of available voices depends on your operating system and browser. Windows typically offers 20–40 voices, macOS offers 50+ with additional downloadable options, and Chrome on Android provides 10–30. You can filter by language using the pill buttons above the voice dropdown to quickly find voices for a specific language.
