The audio is processed by your browser's built‑in engine (usually sending it to Google's cloud for recognition), but we have no access to that data.

This tool only supports live microphone input. Browsers do not allow direct transcription of uploaded audio files with the Web Speech API. To transcribe a pre‑recorded file, you can play it through your speakers and use "Stereo Mix" or loopback audio as input (on desktop), or use a dedicated service like Otter.ai or Rev.
