Frequently asked questions
Which browsers support speech to text?
The Web Speech API works best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Firefox and Safari have limited or no support — if your browser is not supported, this page will tell you clearly.
Is my voice recorded or stored?
ToolNest does not record or store your audio. Your browser sends audio to its own speech recognition service (for example Google's, in Chrome) to produce the transcript.
Why is the transcript inaccurate?
Background noise, a quiet microphone, fast speech or a strong accent can all reduce accuracy. Speak slowly in a quiet room, close to the microphone, for the best results.
Can I transcribe an audio file?
No. This tool only transcribes live speech from your microphone. It cannot process uploaded audio or video files.
