Honest note: Digital Heroes never sees or stores your audio or text, but speech recognition itself is done by your browser/OS built-in speech service (e.g. Chrome may process audio on Google’s servers). If you need fully offline dictation, use your OS’s native dictation feature.

Tips for better accuracy

Speak clearly at a normal pace, pick the exact locale you speak (e.g. English, India vs English, US), and use a headset mic if you can. Recognition pauses on silence, with auto-restart on, it picks back up automatically so long dictation sessions keep flowing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Speech to Text free?

Yes. Speech to Text is completely free for everyone. No sign-up, no account, and no usage limits.

Is it private? Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

Digital Heroes never sees or stores your audio or text. Recognition is handled by your browser's built-in speech service (for example, Chrome may process audio on Google's servers). Your transcript text stays on your device.

Does it work offline?

The page and UI load offline. However, speech recognition itself requires an internet connection in most browsers because the browser's speech engine contacts an online service. Fully offline dictation requires your OS's native dictation feature.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

No. Just open the page in a supported browser and click Start dictating. No account or installation required.

Which browsers support this tool?

The Web Speech API works best in the latest Chrome or Edge on desktop and Android. Firefox does not ship it yet.
