How it works

A voice-to-text recorder that runs in your browser

Sometimes it's faster to talk than to type. Voice to Text lets you record straight from your microphone and turns your speech into text in seconds — no app to install and no file to upload. Press record, speak, and stop; the transcript appears ready to copy, edit, and save.

Nothing leaves your device

Recording and transcription happen right in this tab. Your microphone audio isn't uploaded to a server or stored anywhere, so private notes stay private.

Already have a file?

If you want to transcribe an existing video instead of your own voice, paste a link into the TikTok Transcript tool, or pull audio out of a video first with Extract Audio.

Frequently asked questions

How do I record and transcribe my voice?

Press record, allow microphone access, and speak. When you stop, the transcript appears in seconds, ready to copy or export.

Is it free?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up and no limits.

Is my audio uploaded?

No. Recording and transcription run in your browser, so your audio stays on your device.

How accurate is the transcription?

Very accurate for clear speech in a quiet space. Background noise and crosstalk can affect a word or two.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, as long as your mobile browser can access the microphone. Nothing needs to be installed.

Can I edit the transcript?

Yes. The text is fully editable and copyable once it appears.

Your voice never leaves your device

Most transcription sites upload your audio to a server. VidTools keeps recording and transcription inside this tab.

No upload

Your file is read locally in this tab and never sent over the network.

Nothing stored

No copy is saved on any server. Close the tab and it is gone.

Private by design

We never see, scan, or train on the files you process.
