Voice Recorder

Record from your microphone straight in the browser, with a level meter, and download it.

Free No signup Runs in your browser — nothing uploaded

What it does

Voice Recorder reads the whole document before doing anything, so what comes back is either valid output or a specific error with the position that caused it — not a partially rewritten file.

When you need it

Usually when something has already gone wrong: a config file an application will not load, an API response that has to be read by a human, or an export that has to be checked before it goes anywhere near a database.

Limits and caveats

Key order is preserved as it appears in the input. Very large documents are limited by your device's memory rather than by an upload cap, since the parsing happens locally. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

How to voice recorder

  1. Allow the microphone.
  2. Record — watch the level so you know it's hearing you.
  3. Download it.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the recording go?
Into this tab, and nowhere else. It is not uploaded, and it is gone when you close the page — so download it before you do.
Why is the file a .webm?
Because that is what browsers record, and it is a good format that a lot of older software still refuses to open. The MP3 button converts it, which is why that one takes a moment longer.
What is the moving bar for?
Your input level. Recording into a muted or wrong microphone and finding out after five minutes of talking is the usual way this goes wrong, and a bar that moves is the only warning you get.
