Frequently asked questions

Which browsers support it?

Chrome, Edge and Safari support speech recognition. Firefox doesn't yet.

Is my voice sent anywhere?

Speech recognition is provided by your browser — Chrome and Edge send audio to Google or Microsoft for processing. Safari may process on-device.

Can it transcribe an audio file?

No — it listens to your microphone live. Play a file near the mic as a workaround, or use a dedicated transcription service.
