About Voice Memo Transcriber

The Voice Memo Transcriber converts spoken audio into written text using your browser's built-in speech recognition. Students, journalists, meeting note-takers, and podcasters use it to turn memos, interviews, and quick thoughts into editable, searchable text. Upload an MP3, WAV, or M4A file of under about 10 minutes, or record directly with the Start Recording button after choosing a language; the transcript appears as you speak, with interim results shown live, and you can review and edit the text before downloading it as a .txt file. Recognition runs entirely on your device through the Web Speech API, so your voice is never uploaded to a transcription server.
