Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive. If your question isn't listed, or you need more info, or have feedback, contact us.

What is the Online Audio Transcriber tool?

The Online Audio Transcriber is a free browser-based tool that converts your spoken words into text in real-time. It uses your device's microphone to capture audio and the Web Speech API to transcribe it directly in your browser without uploading anything to external servers.

How accurate is the speech-to-text transcription?

The accuracy of the transcription depends on several factors including your microphone quality, background noise, speaking clarity, and the language being used. For best results, use a good quality microphone, speak clearly at a moderate pace, and minimize background noise. The tool works best with common accents of supported languages.

What languages does the Audio Transcriber support?

The tool supports multiple languages including English (US and UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Portuguese (Brazil), and Russian. The accuracy may vary depending on the language and dialect. For best results, choose the language that most closely matches your speech.

Is my audio data private and secure?

Yes, your privacy is protected. This tool processes all audio locally in your browser using the Web Speech API. Your audio is never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere online. The transcription happens entirely on your device, ensuring your conversations and recordings remain private.

What is continuous recognition mode?

Continuous recognition mode allows the transcription to continue without stopping after pauses in speech. When enabled, the tool will keep listening and transcribing until you manually stop the recording. This is useful for longer recordings like interviews or lectures. When disabled, the recognition may automatically stop after detecting a pause in speech.

Why isn't the transcription working in my browser?

Speech recognition requires a modern browser that supports the Web Speech API. It works best in Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Firefox has limited support. Make sure you've granted microphone permissions when prompted and that your microphone is working properly.

What are some practical uses for the Audio Transcriber?

The Audio Transcriber is useful for many scenarios including: transcribing interviews, creating meeting notes, dictating documents, capturing lecture content, generating subtitles for videos, documenting personal memos, assisting with language learning, and making content more accessible for people with hearing impairments.
