Uses your browser's speech serviceHow?
Speech features come from your browser, not from clkr.work. Some browsers (for example Chrome and Edge) send the audio or text to the browser maker's online speech service; clkr.work's servers never receive it. Anonymous usage events (such as which button was pressed) are counted, never your content. Privacy policy

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert speech to text for free?▾
Open this page in Chrome, Edge or Safari, pick your language and press Start listening. Your words are typed as you speak — no signup, time limit or app needed.
Which languages does voice typing support?▾
English (US, UK, India), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
How do I add punctuation when dictating?▾
In English, say the punctuation: 'comma', 'period' or 'full stop', 'question mark', 'exclamation mark', 'colon', 'new line' or 'new paragraph'. Sentences are capitalized automatically.
Why doesn't speech to text work in Firefox?▾
Firefox hasn't enabled the Web Speech API that browsers use for voice recognition. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari on desktop, Android or iPhone instead.
Is my voice recorded or saved?▾
We never record or store your audio or text. Recognition is done by your browser's built-in speech engine — in Chrome that engine is Google's speech service.
How can I get more accurate results?▾
Use a headset or sit close to the microphone, speak at a steady pace, choose the exact language and region, and pause briefly between sentences.
