Frequently asked questions
What microphone permissions does this tool need?
The tool requires microphone access through your browser. When you click start, your browser will ask for permission. This is a standard browser API and no audio is sent to any server.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Speech recognition uses the browser\'s built-in Web Speech API, which may require an internet connection depending on your browser and operating system. Chrome on desktop works reliably. Results on other browsers vary.
How accurate is the transcription?
Accuracy depends on microphone quality, speaking clarity, background noise, and accent. Clear speech in a quiet environment on a good microphone typically achieves high accuracy. Heavy accents or noisy environments reduce accuracy.
Can I edit the transcription before exporting?
Yes. The transcribed text is editable in the output field. Review and correct it before exporting to PDF.
What languages are supported?
Support depends on the browser\'s Web Speech API implementation. English is universally supported. Other languages vary by browser. Chrome supports the widest range of languages.
Is the audio recorded or stored?
No audio is stored. The browser processes speech in real time using the Web Speech API and only the resulting text is kept. Audio data is not saved or sent anywhere.
Is Speech to Text Free free to use?
Speech to Text Free is completely free with no subscription, no trial period, and no credit card required. There are no usage limits, watermarks, or premium tiers. The tool is funded by the existence of the wider OnlineToolsPlus platform rather than by charging users for individual tools.
Does Speech to Text Free work on mobile devices?
Yes. Speech to Text Free works on any modern smartphone or tablet — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets. Open it in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox on your device and it functions identically to the desktop version. The interface is responsive and adjusts to smaller screens automatically.
Do I need to install anything to use Speech to Text Free?
No installation is required. Speech to Text Free runs entirely in your web browser. Open the page and start using it immediately. There is no app to download, no browser extension to install, and no account to create. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android — any device with a modern browser.
Is my data private when using Speech to Text Free?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. No data you enter — text, files, or settings — is sent to any server or stored anywhere outside your device. OnlineToolsPlus has no server-side processing for this tool. Your data is as private as anything else on your device.
- Sensitive documents stay private. Contracts, financial statements, personal photos, and medical records never leave your device.
- No account required. There is nothing to sign up for, no password to manage, and no personal information collected.
- No usage limits or rate limits. Browser-based tools are not throttled by server capacity. You can use the tool as many times as needed.
- Works offline (after first load). Once the page is loaded, most functionality works without an active internet connection.
This matters for several reasons:
Speech to Text Free on OnlineToolsPlus runs entirely in your browser. No file, text, or data you enter is ever sent to any server. Processing uses the JavaScript APIs built into your browser — the same environment used by banking and healthcare applications.
