Voice recorder, straight to MP3

Your browser asks to use the microphone. Speak, then press Stop; the recording becomes an MP3.

How to use Voice Recorder

  1. Start recording

    Press Start recording and allow the microphone when your browser asks.

  2. Speak, then stop

    The clock shows how long you have recorded. Press Stop when you are done.

  3. Listen and download

    Listen to it on the page, then press Download to save the MP3, or Record again.

From microphone to MP3 on your device

When you press Start, the page asks your browser for the microphone, and nothing is recorded before you allow it. The browser records the sound with its own echo cancellation and noise suppression turned on, which keeps voices clear in an ordinary room.

When you press Stop, the recording is turned into an MP3 at 128 kbps on your device, a format every phone, computer, car stereo and upload form accepts. The MP3 encoder comes with the page the first time and then works offline.

Your voice never leaves your device: there is no server in between, and closing the page discards anything you did not download.
