Generate, edit, copy, and download transcripts using on-device speech recognition when available.
TEXT Transcripts
Generate transcripts with browser speech recognition when available, then edit, copy or download the text.
About this tool
This workspace uses on-device speech recognition only. If the browser cannot guarantee local recognition, automatic transcription stays disabled and the page remains available for typing or pasting a transcript manually. A recording selected as a reference stays in the page and is not uploaded by Easy Edits.
Recognition listens through your microphone while the reference recording plays. Results vary with the browser, microphone, background noise, and overlapping voices; expect to correct the draft before using it.
How to use it
- Load your audio file for reference playback.
- Start transcript generation. If supported, the browser's on-device engine listens through your microphone and converts speech to text.
- Play the audio back and correct the draft in the editor: names, punctuation, anything misheard.
- Copy the finished transcript to the clipboard or download it as a .txt file.
Tips
- Accuracy tracks audio quality more than anything else: clear speech, little background noise, one voice at a time. A clean recording can come out largely usable; a noisy meeting won't.
- On-device speech recognition is not available in every browser. If it is unavailable, use the text area to type or paste a transcript.
- Correct the draft while the audio plays; pausing at mistakes is much faster than reading the whole transcript cold afterwards.
FAQs
How accurate is browser speech recognition?
Clear audio can produce a useful draft. Expect to correct names, technical terms, and punctuation.
Which browsers can auto-generate transcripts?
Only browsers that explicitly support on-device Web Speech recognition. Otherwise, the page works as a transcript editor for typing or pasting.
Is my recording sent to a transcription service?
No. Easy Edits enables automatic recognition only when the browser exposes on-device processing. The selected reference file remains local, and the transcript stays in the page until you copy or download it.
What can I do with the transcript afterwards?
Copy it anywhere or download the .txt. For subtitles or documentation you'd paste it into the appropriate tool from there.
