Voice recorder FAQ
Is this voice recorder free?
Yes. Record as much as you like with no account, no time limit and no watermark.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. The recording is made and saved in your browser and never leaves your device. If you close or reload the page before downloading, it is gone.
How do I test my microphone?
Click Test microphone, allow access and speak. If the level bar moves, the browser is receiving sound from your microphone. If it stays flat, check that the right microphone is selected in your browser or system settings and that it is not muted.
The browser says the microphone is blocked. What now?
Click the lock or settings icon next to the address, set Microphone to Allow, and reload the page. On a phone, also check that the browser is allowed to use the microphone in the system settings.
Which format should I download?
MP3 plays everywhere and is small. WAV is uncompressed, which suits editing but makes bigger files. The WebM (or M4A in Safari) file is the recording exactly as your browser made it.
Can I pause and carry on?
Yes. Pause and Resume keep everything in one recording, and the time while paused is not counted.
Why does the level bar turn red?
Red means the sound is very loud and may distort. Move back from the microphone or turn the input volume down.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in current Chrome and Safari. Keep the page open while you record: some phones stop recording when the browser is in the background.
