How to: Voice Recorder

- Speak, pause if needed, then press Stop.
- Listen back and download as MP3, WAV or the original file.
Need to record a voice memo, a podcast intro, a voice-over for a video or a message for a friend? This recorder works directly in your browser with any built-in or USB microphone. A live level meter shows that sound is being picked up, you can pause and resume, and the result can be saved as a widely compatible MP3 or a lossless WAV.
Common uses
- Record voice notes, ideas and reminders.
- Capture voice-overs for videos, presentations and e-learning.
- Practise speeches, interviews and language pronunciation.
- Record quick audio messages to send by email or chat.
Tips for best results
- Keep the level meter mostly green; red means the sound is too loud.
- Turn off noise suppression when recording music.
- Use a headset microphone for clearer voice and less room echo.
- Trim silence afterwards with Audio Cutter.
Microphone permission
The first time you press Record, the browser asks to use your microphone. Allow it for this site only. If you blocked it by mistake, click the camera or lock icon in the address bar to change the permission, then reload the page.
Formats
Browsers record natively as WEBM (Opus) or, in Safari, M4A (AAC). Choosing MP3 or WAV decodes the recording and converts it in the browser with the open-source LAME encoder. MP3 at 128 kbps mono is ideal for speech and plays on every device.
