DocomintSpeech to Text
Transcribe spoken audio from your microphone into text, live.
Your browser doesn't support speech recognition. Try the latest Chrome or Edge on desktop.
Transcribes speech from your microphone in real time using your browser's built-in speech recognition — useful for drafting notes, quick dictation, or capturing a thought without typing it out.
Example: Speaking "add milk, eggs, and bread to the shopping list" fills the transcript with that exact text as you speak, with punctuation added automatically at pauses.
How it works
- Press Start listening and allow microphone access
- Speak — the transcript fills in live
- Press Stop and copy the transcript
Frequently asked questions
Where does my speech get processed?
Your browser's own speech recognition engine handles it — in Chrome and Edge, that means your microphone audio is sent to that browser vendor's speech-recognition service to be transcribed (not to Docomint's servers, which never see it). If you need transcription that never leaves your device, this tool isn't able to guarantee that, since it relies on the browser's built-in engine.
Which browsers support this?
Chrome and Edge have the most reliable support for the underlying Web Speech API; Firefox and Safari support varies by version, so if the microphone prompt never appears, try Chrome.
Does this work well in a noisy room?
Accuracy drops noticeably with background noise, overlapping speech, or a distant microphone — like any speech recognition system, it works best with a clear, close, single voice.
