Free Online Speech to Text Converter

Speech to text, also called speech into text or voice typing, turns the words you speak into written text in real time.

Click the microphone, speak naturally, and your words appear in the text box as you talk.

How to Use Voice Typing in Three Steps

  1. Choose your language from the language menu so the recognition listens for the right language.
  2. Click the microphone icon and allow your browser to use the microphone.
  3. Speak at a natural pace. When you finish, click the microphone again, then copy, download or share your text.

Features of This Speech to Text Tool

  • Dictation in many languages, with right-to-left writing for Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and other right-to-left languages.
  • Undo and redo buttons, plus a clear button to start a new text.
  • One-click copy, download as a .txt file, and sharing on WhatsApp.
  • An on-screen keyboard and punctuation buttons, so you can add symbols and correct text without speaking.
  • A word counter that shows the length of your text as you dictate.

Why Use Online Speech to Text?

Voice typing is often faster than typing, especially for long notes, emails and reports. Students use it to capture lecture notes, writers use it to draft documents, and people who find keyboards difficult use it to write comfortably. Dictation is also a practical accessibility tool for anyone who prefers to speak rather than type.

Tips for More Accurate Voice Recognition

Use a good microphone, reduce background noise, speak clearly at a steady pace, and select the correct language before you start. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge offer the most complete support for the speech recognition this tool uses. You can find more practical advice in our voice typing articles.

Privacy and Internet Connection

In Google Chrome, speech recognition is processed by Google's speech service, so an active internet connection is required to dictate text. Read our Privacy Policy to learn how this site handles information.
