A dictaphone in your browser — truly private
Voice memo, presentation rehearsal, audio note-taking, podcast draft: recording your voice should be instant and confidential. No app to install, no account: click, speak, listen, download — and nothing leaves your device.
-
Allow the mic
Your browser asks for consent — the mic icon stays visible throughout the capture.
-
Record
The waveform displays live, the timer runs. Pause and resume without ending the take.
-
Listen and download
Each take joins the list: replay them, download the good ones, delete the rest.
Ideas for using it
- Rehearse a speech or interview and listen back to fix pacing and verbal tics.
- Capture a melody or lyric idea before it escapes.
- Record a voice memo to send by messaging app (the WebM/M4A file drops right in).
- Draft a podcast episode quickly, take by take.
Quality tip: get close to the mic (20–30 cm), avoid reverberant rooms, and do a short test take — the displayed waveform instantly reveals a level that is too low or clipping.
Frequently asked questions
Are my recordings uploaded to a server?
No, never. Audio is captured and assembled entirely in your browser (MediaRecorder API). Your takes exist only in the page until you download them to your device.
What format is the audio saved in?
It depends on the browser: WebM/Opus on Chrome, Edge and Firefox (excellent quality at low size), M4A/AAC on Safari. All of them play everywhere, including in messaging apps.
Why does the browser ask for permission?
Mic access is protected: your browser always asks for explicit consent, and the mic icon stays visible during capture. You can revoke the permission at any time in the site settings.
Can I pause and resume?
Yes: the Pause button suspends capture without ending the take; Resume continues into the same file. The timer only counts time actually recorded.
How long can I record?
The tool imposes no limit: the constraint is your device’s memory. As a guide, one hour of voice in WebM/Opus weighs about 25–30 MB.
