Used by recruiters, executives, consultants, and more.
How to record your voice online
1. Tap record
Allow microphone access and speak - up to 60 minutes, with pause and resume. Nothing uploads.
2. Download the MP3
One click saves a small, voice-optimized MP3 (about 23 MB per hour). No account, no watermark.
3. Transcribe it (free)
Optional: turn the recording into a speaker-labeled transcript in 90+ languages, then export TXT / SRT.
Private by default: nothing uploads while you record
Most online voice recorders quietly send your audio to a server. This one doesn't: recording and the MP3 download run entirely in your browser - the audio never leaves your device unless you press Transcribe. It's also crash-safe: while you record, the audio is saved locally every few seconds, so an accidentally closed tab doesn't cost you the take.
The only free voice recorder with one-click transcription
Recording is the easy half. The reason to record is usually the words - and typing them out takes 4x longer than saying them. After you stop, one click turns the recording into an accurate transcript with speaker labels (who said what) in 90+ languages, free - something the classic online recorders don't offer at all. Copy the text or export TXT / SRT.
Who it's for
Quick voice memos at a desktop, interviews and meetings without installing software, students capturing ideas, journalists grabbing a statement, anyone who needs a clean audio file - or the text of it - without paying. Also handy as a plain online dictaphone: record, download, done. Already have an audio file? Use the free transcription tool or voice memo to text instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this online voice recorder really free?
Yes - 100% free. Record up to 60 minutes per take, up to 3 recordings a day, and download the MP3 with no watermark, no credit card and no account. Transcription is free too (a few runs a day with a Google sign-in).
Does my recording upload to a server?
No. Recording and the MP3 download happen entirely in your browser - the audio never leaves your device unless you press Transcribe. If you do transcribe, the file is processed and then auto-deleted within 24 hours, and it's never used to train AI.
How long can I record?
Up to 60 minutes per recording, and up to 3 recordings per day. For unlimited recording with automatic transcription and AI summaries, the Speakwise iPhone app has no daily limit.
Can I download the recording?
Yes - one click downloads an MP3 (voice-optimized: mono, 22.05 kHz, about 1 MB per 2.5 minutes) that plays on any device. No account needed to record or download.
How do I record audio online without installing anything?
Open this page, tap the record button and allow microphone access. You can pause and resume while you record, then play it back, download the MP3 or turn it into text - all in the browser, no software to install.
Can it turn my recording into text?
Yes - press Transcribe after recording and you get an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript (who said what) in 90+ languages, free. Copy it or export TXT / SRT. Sign in with Google to run it.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in any modern mobile browser (Safari, Chrome). The screen needs to stay on while recording - we keep it awake for you - and the tab must stay in the foreground. To record with the screen locked or the phone in your pocket, use the Speakwise iPhone app.
What happens if my tab crashes mid-recording?
Your audio is saved locally in your browser every few seconds while you record. If the tab crashes or closes by accident, reopen this page and you'll be offered the unfinished recording to recover.
What quality is the recording?
Voice-optimized MP3: mono, 22.05 kHz at 48 kbps - crisp for speech and small enough that a full hour is about 23 MB. It's tuned for voice notes, meetings and interviews rather than music.
Is there a watermark or a hidden paywall?
No watermark, no trial countdown, no credit-card wall. The honest limits are stated up front: 60 minutes per take, 3 recordings and a few free transcriptions per day. That's it.
