What is STT?

A live dictation tool: click start, speak, and the transcript builds up with interim results as you go.

How it works

The browser's SpeechRecognition (webkit-prefixed where needed) runs continuously with interim results, appending final segments to the transcript.

  1. Enter your input. Type or paste your input into the field above — the tool responds instantly.
  2. Review the result. Output updates live as you type. Everything runs entirely in your browser.
  3. Copy or download. Use the Copy button to grab the result, or Download to save it as a file.

Examples

Dictating notes

Speak into the microphone and watch your words appear as text — handy for quick notes when typing is slow.

Common mistakes

Microphone permissions

The browser must be allowed to use the mic, and recognition quality depends on the browser's speech engine and the language selected.
