# Speech to Text Speak and watch your words appear as a live transcript you can copy — using your browser's built-in speech recognition. No signup and no app to install. ### How it works This uses the browser's native **Web Speech API** (`SpeechRecognition`). You'll be asked for microphone permission the first time. It works best in Chrome and Edge; some browsers route the audio through an online recognition service, so it's a convenience demo rather than a private, offline transcriber. The transcript lives only in the text box on the page until you clear it — nothing is stored by the site. You can choose a language, and copy the result with one click. --- *Source: [ocxly.com/speech-to-text.html](https://ocxly.com/speech-to-text.html) — OCXLY, free 100% client-side privacy-first tools.
