Fast and Accurate Speech Recognition

Our online speech-to-text tool provides two English speech-recognition model options.

Fast Speech Recognition

The Fast model is designed for quicker transcription and is recommended for phones and tablets. It is a useful starting point when converting ordinary English narration or voice notes.

Accurate Speech Recognition

The Accurate model uses a larger model that may recognize some words more effectively. It can require additional processing time and device memory.

Recognition accuracy depends on the recording, speech clarity, background noise, accent, dialect, and model selected. Always review important transcripts before using them.

Convert Speech to Text on Android and Desktop

Our free speech to text transcriber is designed for mobile and desktop browsers. On supported phones and tablets, recordings are limited to 10 minutes. The desktop recording limit is 30 minutes.

For best results, use a quiet environment, speak naturally, and keep your browser page open while recording. Microphone recording requires browser permission and a secure HTTPS connection.
