Speech to Text — Voice Typing & Dictation
Talk instead of type. Press record and your speech becomes editable text live in your browser — free, no sign-up. Copy it, download it, or get an accurate full-length transcript in 70+ languages with record & transcribe.
Live voice typing needs Chrome, Edge, or Safari
Your browser doesn’t support in-browser dictation — record your voice and we’ll transcribe it instead.
Record & transcribeHow it works
Press record and speak

Words appear as you speak
Your speech is turned into editable text live, right in the browser — keep talking and it keeps typing.
Copy, download, or go pro
Copy the text, download it as a .txt file, or sign in to record & transcribe for an accurate, full-length transcript in 70+ languages.

Made for
Free speech to text, voice typing & dictation
Typing is slow; talking isn’t. Speech to text lets you capture words as fast as you can speak them — dictate an email, draft a chapter, or jot a quick voice note and get editable text instead of an audio file you have to play back later. It’s free, runs in your browser, and needs no sign-up.
Unlike transcribing a file you already have, this is built for capturing speech in the moment. Press record, say what’s on your mind, and the words appear as editable text you can copy, download, or refine right away.
When you need more than a quick note — proper punctuation, word-level timestamps, 70+ languages, or a private transcript — sign in and use record & transcribe in the AI editor, where your recording is processed in Notevibes’ own Google Cloud and you can keep editing the audio by changing the text.
How speech to text works
Press the mic and your browser’s built-in speech engine turns your speech into text in real time — the words appear as you talk, and the text box stays editable so you can fix anything on the fly. It’s free and needs no sign-up; all it requires is a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari) and microphone permission.
Want punctuation, word-level timestamps, 70+ languages, and a transcript that isn’t processed by the browser vendor? Sign in and use record & transcribe in the editor: it captures your voice, runs recognition in Notevibes’ own Google Cloud, and returns a polished transcript for recordings of any length.
Live voice typing vs. transcribing a file
Live voice typing on this page is free and instant — great for notes, drafts, and quick capture. Transcribing a file (on the transcribe pages, or via record & transcribe) is the accurate, full-length path for a podcast, interview, or lecture you already have. Different engines for two jobs: capture fast, or transcribe precisely.
If you’re catching a thought in the moment, dictate here. If you have a finished audio or video file — or you want a private, timestamped transcript — use transcribe or record & transcribe in the editor instead.
Languages, accuracy, and clean audio
Browser dictation supports many languages, though quality varies by browser and microphone — a decent mic, a quiet room, and a natural, steady pace give the cleanest results. For the highest accuracy across 70+ languages and on noisy or multi-speaker audio, record & transcribe runs a heavier AI model over the whole recording; if a file is noisy, run it through the background-noise remover first.
What to do with your text
Once your speech is text, paste it into a document, turn a spoken draft into a blog post, or download it as a .txt file — copy and download are one click, no account needed. And when you want to work on the audio itself — cut filler, trim a tangent, tidy the wording — sign in and the recording opens in the AI editor, where you edit by changing the text.

Frequently asked
Can I dictate with my voice?
Yes — press the mic and speak, and your words appear as editable text live in your browser. It’s free and needs no sign-up.
How accurate is it?

Are there timestamps?
Live voice typing gives you plain text. Word-level timestamps come with record & transcribe in the editor.
Is there a time limit?
No — dictate as long as you like. The browser ends its listening sessions periodically, but the page restarts them automatically so your text keeps going until you stop.

Browser voice typing supports many languages; record & transcribe covers 70+ with automatic detection.
Is it free?
Live voice typing is free and unlimited — no sign-up. Accurate, full-length record & transcribe runs on credits in the editor.
