Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work in all browsers?

The Web Speech API works best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Firefox and Safari have limited support. For the best experience, use Chrome.

Is my voice data sent to your servers?

No. Speech recognition is handled by your browsers built-in Web Speech API. Audio data goes to your browsers speech recognition service (typically Google for Chrome), not to ToolNest servers.

Can I use this for meeting notes?

Yes, though for long meetings, the browser may pause recognition periodically. For longer recordings, consider our audio transcription tool which handles pre-recorded files.
