Online voice recorder that never uploads your voice
Pick a mic, press record and save the take as a WAV file. Nothing is uploaded, so you can use it for interviews, voice notes and anything private.
Record your voice
Up to 30 minutes per take. Your browser will ask for microphone access.
What the recorder does
No browser cleanup
The recorder switches off the browser’s noise suppression, echo cancellation and automatic volume, so the file holds what your mic picks up without the browser’s processing on top.
A WAV that opens almost anywhere
16-bit mono WAV at your mic’s own sample rate, usually 48 kHz, about 5.8 MB a minute. QuickTime, Music, GarageBand, Audacity and most video editors open it without converting.
As many takes as you need
Each recording lands in the list below the recorder. Play them back, keep the best one and delete the rest.
Nothing leaves your device
There is no upload step and no account. Each recording stays in this browser tab and disappears when you close or reload the page, unless you save it.
How to get a better recording
- Get close
- A hand’s width from a USB mic, or sit square to the laptop. Closer means more voice and less room.
- Soften the room
- Curtains, a rug, a sofa or a full bookshelf take the echo out. A walk-in closet full of clothes is a classic home booth.
- Watch the level
- Keep the bar moving around the middle. If the clipping warning appears, move back or lower the input level.
- Skip Bluetooth
- AirPods and other Bluetooth headsets record in a low-quality mode. The Mac’s built-in mic or a wired one sounds clearer.
Questions
Is my recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The page records and builds the WAV file in your browser. Nothing is sent to our server or anyone else’s.
How long can I record?
Up to 30 minutes per take, as many takes as you like. All takes are kept in memory, so save the ones you want before you close the page.
Can I get an MP3?
The recorder saves WAV, which almost every audio and video app opens. To make an MP3, open the file in Audacity or another audio editor and export it as MP3.
Why does my voice sound different on Zoom?
Call apps run their own noise suppression and volume control. This recorder switches the browser’s versions off, so you hear your mic without that processing.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in a current mobile browser. Some phones still clean up the sound on their own, so the file may differ from a desktop recording.
