Frequently Asked Questions

Is this voice to text tool really free?

Yes. You can use our online dictation tool completely free of charge, with no limits on usage. We also offer a Pro version for users who need to upload audio files or use advanced batch processing.

Is my voice data stored or sent to servers?

No. We prioritize your privacy. All speech recognition happens locally in your browser using the Web Speech API. Your voice data is processed on your device and is never sent to our servers or stored in any database.

Which browsers and devices are supported?

For the best accuracy, we recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on desktop. On mobile, the tool works with Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS. Firefox currently has limited support for the Web Speech API.

Do I need to create an account or login?

No. You can start voice typing without login immediately. We believe in removing barriers, so there is no registration required to use the free dictation tool.

How many languages does the speech to text support?

We support over 50 languages including Spanish, Hindi, French, Arabic, and many more. Simply select your preferred language from the dropdown menu above the microphone to switch accents and scripts.

Can I transcribe audio files (MP3/WAV)?

The free tool is designed for real-time live dictation. If you need to transcribe a pre-recorded file (interview, lecture, meeting), sign up free and get 1 free file transcription (up to 5 minutes) with full features — speaker labels, timestamps, and subtitle export. After that, credits start at $5 for 100 minutes or plans from $7/month. Check out our Speech to Text Pro for details.

Will I lose my text if I accidentally refresh?

No. We use local browser storage to auto-save your transcript in real-time. If you accidentally close the tab or refresh, your text will be there when you come back.

Does this use AI? Can I use voice to text free without AI?

Our free voice to text tool runs entirely in your browser using the built-in Web Speech API - no AI, no cloud processing, and no data leaves your device. For users who need higher accuracy on uploaded audio files, our Pro tier offers optional AI-powered transcription. You choose what works for you.
