Speak and see your words appear instantly. Uses your browser's built-in speech recognition: in Chrome and Edge, the audio is sent to Google's or Microsoft's servers, so do not use it for confidential audio.
Not uploaded to PresendFrequently asked questions
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
Not by Presend. Recognition is done by your browser's Web Speech API, and in Chrome and Edge the browser sends the audio to Google's or Microsoft's servers to transcribe it. Do not use it for confidential audio.
Which languages are supported?
Most major languages are supported including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Korean, and many others. Support depends on your browser and operating system.
Does it work offline?
Usually not. In Chrome and Edge, speech recognition runs on Google's or Microsoft's servers and needs an internet connection.
Can I download the transcription?
Yes. You can copy the transcribed text to your clipboard or download it as a plain text file. The text is formatted with timestamps if you enable that option.
Why isn't Firefox supported?
Firefox does not currently implement the Web Speech API for speech recognition. We recommend using Chrome, Edge, or Safari for the best experience.
