Speech to Text

Press Start listening, allow the microphone, and speak. Your words appear as text that you can edit, copy or download. It uses your browser's built-in speech recognition, which works in Chrome, Edge and Safari, and supports many languages including English, Hindi, Spanish and Arabic.

Uses your browser's speech service: audio may be sent to its provider

Unlike most CometBits tools, this one depends on your browser's speech service. In Chrome and Edge the audio is sent to Google or Microsoft to be turned into text, and Safari may use Apple. CometBits itself receives nothing. Do not dictate anything private.

How it works

  1. 01Choose the language you will speak, then press Start listening and allow the microphone.
  2. 02Speak clearly. Your words appear as you talk.
  3. 03Press Stop, edit the text if you need to, then copy it or download it as a .txt file.

Questions

Is my voice uploaded?

CometBits does not receive your voice or your text. But the speech recognition is done by your browser's service, and in Chrome and Edge that means the audio is sent to Google or Microsoft. Do not dictate anything private.

Why does it not work in my browser?

Firefox does not support speech recognition. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari, and allow the microphone when asked.

How accurate is it?

It depends on your microphone, background noise and accent. Speak clearly and check the text before you use it.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
