About this tool

Typing is slow; talking is fast. Speech to Text turns your voice into written text in real time, right in your browser — no app to install, no account to create, no audio file to upload. It is built for dictating emails, notes, essays, messages and brainstorms: press start, speak naturally, and watch the transcript grow, with interim words shown in grey until the recognizer confirms them. It supports English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French and German, so you can dictate in the language you think in. The tool uses your browser's built-in speech recognition, which is why it works in Chrome and Edge and needs an internet connection — the browser's speech service does the transcription, while the text itself never leaves your device. If recognition pauses after silence, one tap restarts it without losing what you already dictated. For anyone who thinks faster than they type, it is the quickest free way to get words on the page.
