About this tool
Speech to text from your microphone
This free speech to text online tool turns voice into editable text from your microphone. Press record, speak, stop. Each take appends to your draft. Nothing is uploaded to UBIK Flow servers. No account required.
Voice to text in the browser is ideal for a first draft, an email outline, or meeting notes when you want record/stop control.
Which free tool should I use?
| Situation | Best tool |
|---|---|
| You already have an MP3, WAV, or M4A file | Audio to text |
| You want continuous dictation with a pause between phrases | Live speech to text |
| You want to speak now with record/stop (this page) | Speech to text online |
For file uploads, audio to text is optimized for longer recordings. For brainstorming without stopping the mic, try live speech to text.
How it works
Press the microphone to start, speak clearly, then press again to stop. The transcript appears after each recording. Short takes are easier to review than one long ramble.
The Upload tab can handle a quick file test, but for a full audio to text workflow use the dedicated file tool above.
Privacy and local processing
Recording and transcription stay on your device. Only Whisper model weights download on first use. Your voice never uploads to UBIK Flow servers.
Tips for better results
- Match spoken language to your voice
- Choose Classic version or Large version in the model selector
- Record in a quiet room with a mic that passes our microphone test
- Prefer short clips over one long recording
