Speech to Text

Speak and get text. Choose English or one of 10 Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Urdu), press Start and talk: the words appear as you speak, and the text stays editable. Copy it or download it when you are done. It uses your browser's built-in speech recognition, so there is nothing to install and no time limit.

You can also say "comma", "full stop", "question mark" or "new line".

Uses your browser's built-in speech service (in Chrome, Google's). Your audio never reaches our servers.

Typing by voice

Getting good results

  • Speak at a normal pace in a quiet place, a little closer to the microphone than usual.
  • Pause between sentences; the text is added each time you finish a phrase.
  • Proper nouns and rare words can come out wrong: fix them in the box, it stays editable.
  • Allow microphone access when the browser asks. If you blocked it, allow it from the lock icon next to the address.
