About Speech to Text
This speech to text tool turns your voice into editable text as you speak. Choose a language, including English (India), Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Urdu and Odia, press Start listening and allow microphone access.
It is a quick way to do voice typing online for notes, emails, messages and first drafts without typing on a small keyboard. You can edit, copy or download the transcript. It works best in Chrome or Edge; these browsers use their own online speech service to recognise audio, so avoid dictating confidential information. The tool is free with no sign-up.
How to use Speech to Text
- Choose the language you will speak.
- Press Start listening and allow microphone access.
- Speak naturally — grey text is a draft that becomes final when you pause.
- Edit, copy or download the transcript.
Frequently asked questions
Which browsers support speech to text?
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on desktop and Android support it best. Safari has partial support. Firefox does not support speech recognition.
Is my voice sent anywhere?
The transcript stays on this page, but browsers such as Chrome process the audio using their own online speech service (Google for Chrome, Microsoft for Edge). Avoid dictating highly confidential information.
How do I add punctuation?
Say words like “comma”, “full stop” or “question mark” in English — support varies by language. You can also edit the transcript directly in the box.
Why did it stop listening?
Browsers stop after a period of silence. With continuous mode on, the tool restarts automatically until you press Stop.
How do I type with my voice in Hindi?
Choose Hindi as the language, press Start listening and speak. The Hindi text appears in the box as you talk.
Can I edit the text after dictating?
Yes. The transcript is in an editable box, so you can correct words and then copy or download it.
Does speech to text need an internet connection?
In most browsers, yes, because the browser’s speech service processes the audio online.
