Speech to Text Converter

Two useful speech modes

Choose the speech tool you need

Use Voice Typing when you want to speak directly into your browser and get back editable English text. Use Text to Speech when you already have written content and want it read aloud. Both modes sit on one focused page, the same way every tool on this site is organized.

Tip

For Voice Typing, use a clear microphone and speak naturally in English. For Text to Speech, the available voices depend on your browser and device.

1

Just start talking

Allow microphone access, speak in English, and your words will appear below as editable text.

Your text

English is the only speech language supported here. Click Start microphone, speak clearly, and your speech converts into text automatically.

Speech tools earn their keep when you need to move between spoken and written words without typing everything out by hand. This page combines two related browser-based modes: Voice Typing for live English speech, and Text to Speech for reading supplied text back using whatever voices your device has available.

Using Voice Typing

Start with a microphone that actually gives the browser a clean signal. Cut background noise where you can, and speak at a pace that feels natural rather than rushed. Full phrases are easier to review afterward than clipped fragments. This is a tool for creating editable working text, so names, numbers, dates, quotes, and technical terms are worth a second look once recognition finishes.

If recognition stalls or the browser says it could not process your speech, check the microphone permission first, then confirm you are on a modern, supported browser. Results can vary between devices since browser speech recognition depends on what that browser supports. This Voice Typing mode is fixed to English.

Using Text to Speech

Text to Speech is handy for hearing a draft read back, checking how wording lands out loud, accessibility-friendly reading, or reviewing text away from the screen. Paste in your text, pick an available voice, then adjust speed, pitch, and volume to taste. The voice list comes from your browser and operating system, so it will look different from one device to the next.

Why review still matters

Treat automatic speech recognition as a drafting aid, not a guarantee of a perfect transcript. For anything that matters, compare the generated wording against what was actually said, and fix punctuation, capitalization, names, and specialist terms before you publish or submit it.

Browser-based on purpose

These speech modes are built around what your browser can already do, rather than requiring an external transcription API. That keeps things simple and means no API key to manage. Browser support still matters, though — a current Chrome or Edge browser with microphone permission granted is the most reliable setup for Voice Typing.

Editorial note: Speech recognition and speech synthesis behavior varies by browser, operating system, microphone, and the voice services installed. Review anything important before you rely on it.
