Speech to Text lets you type with your voice. Choose the language you will speak, press Start listening and talk — your words appear as text that you can edit, copy or download as a .txt file. It supports English (US, UK, India, Pakistan), Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Spanish, French, German and more.
It uses the speech recognition built into your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. The text is not stored on our server. To hear text read aloud instead, use Text to Speech; to check length, paste the result into the Word Counter.

How to use Speech to Text
- Choose the language you will speak.
- Click “Start listening” and allow microphone access when your browser asks.
- Speak clearly, then click “Stop listening” and copy or download your text.
Good to know
- Works best in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari. Firefox does not support browser speech recognition yet.
- In Chrome and Edge, the browser sends audio to its own speech service to recognise it, so an internet connection is needed. We do not receive or store your audio.
- Punctuation is not added automatically in most languages, so review and edit the text before you use it.
- A quiet room and a headset microphone improve accuracy a lot.
