Speech to Text
Speak into your microphone and get live transcription. Supports multiple languages via the browser Web Speech API.
What is the Speech to Text?
The Speech to Text tool listens to your microphone and streams a live transcription onto the screen using the browser Web Speech API — the same technology behind Chrome dictation. It supports 10+ languages including English variants, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.
ToolSink never receives or stores your audio or transcript. Note that on Chrome, the browser itself sends audio to Google's recognizer service to compute the transcription.

Important notes

- On Chrome, audio is processed by the browser's built-in recognizer (Google's cloud service). ToolSink itself never receives or stores your audio or transcript.
Frequently asked questions
Why do words appear and then change?
The engine emits interim results as it hears more speech and finalises them once the sentence completes.
Can I dictate for a long time?
Yes, but some browsers auto-stop after a few minutes of silence — just click Start again.
