Dictate live in 70+ languages, load an audio or video file and sync it with a searchable interactive transcript, then export clean text or subtitles. Everything runs inside your browser tab with the native Web Speech and Web Audio APIs — no account, no AI service, nothing uploaded.
Live microphone, an existing media file, or captions you already have
MP3 · WAV · M4A · OGG · FLAC · MP4 · WEBM · MOV — decoded on your device, never uploaded
Search, edit, label speakers — click any line to jump the player to that moment
Counts, speaking pace and the words you lean on most
Every file is generated locally in this tab
Autosave keeps your work in this browser only (localStorage) so a refresh never loses the transcript. Hit Clear to wipe it completely.
Faster than reaching for the mouse
Your file never leaves your device: it is decoded with the Web Audio API and played from a local blob URL. Live dictation uses the browser speech recognition engine built into Chrome, Edge and Safari, which may send microphone audio to the browser vendor for recognition — that is a browser feature, not something this page controls, and no transcript, file or recording is ever sent to apps2help.com.
Over seventy locales are listed, from English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese through Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. Punctuation commands, filler-word detection and the stop-word lists used for keyword counts ship for the major language families, and the rest fall back to the English rules.
No browser exposes an offline speech engine to web pages, and the Web Speech API only accepts a live microphone stream. The honest workaround here is to play your file out loud and let the engine listen in, which works well in a quiet room with speakers. For files you can also detect speech regions, mark lines at the playhead, or import captions you already have.
Yes. Turn on edit mode and every line becomes editable in place, with search and replace for repeated errors, one-click speaker labels, merge-into-paragraphs, star markers for the parts worth keeping, and a single-level undo for deleted lines.
Plain text, timestamped text, SRT and WebVTT subtitles, structured JSON, Markdown, or a print-to-PDF view. If you recorded live audio, you can also save that recording as a WebM file.
Yes, like every tool on this site. There is no account, no watermark, no usage limit and no server-side processing.
