Speech to Text — Free Voice Typing Online in 8 Languages
How it works
Press start, allow the microphone, and talk — your words appear as text in real time, ready to copy or download. One honest difference from our other tools: speech recognition is provided by your browser’s built-in speech service (in Chrome, that means Google’s servers process the audio), so this one tool needs an internet connection and is not fully offline.

Frequently asked questions
Is my voice uploaded or recorded by DollarWise? DollarWise never receives or stores your audio. Recognition is performed by your browser’s built-in speech service — in Chrome, that is Google’s servers — so the audio does leave your device to be recognized. That is why, unlike most tools on this site, this one is not fully offline and needs an internet connection.
Which browsers support it? Chrome and Edge (on desktop and Android) have reliable built-in speech recognition. Firefox and Safari support is limited or missing — if your browser cannot do it, this page tells you clearly instead of failing silently.
How accurate is it, and how can I improve it? In a quiet room with a decent microphone, English dictation is usually very accurate. Speak in complete sentences, keep a steady distance from the mic, and choose the exact language you are speaking — accuracy drops fast when the wrong language is selected.
