Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is free speech to text conversion?
Whisper Web uses OpenAI's Whisper model, which achieves near-human accuracy for clear speech. On clean audio, accuracy rates exceed 95% for English and many other languages. Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, and the model size you select. The larger models (Small, Medium) deliver the best results for challenging audio with accents or background noise.
Is this speech to text tool really free with no limits?
Yes, Whisper Web is 100% free with no usage limits, no daily caps, and no premium tiers. Unlike services like TurboScribe that limit you to 3 free transcriptions per day, Whisper Web has no restrictions. Since the AI runs entirely on your device, there are no server costs — so we can offer unlimited free speech recognition.
Can I use my microphone for live speech to text online?
Yes. Click the microphone button to start live voice to text recording. Your browser will ask for microphone permission once. Speak naturally and the transcript will appear after processing. Recording supports clips up to 60 seconds. This works great for dictation, note-taking, and real-time speech recognition.
Does speech to text work offline without internet?
Yes, Whisper Web works offline after the initial AI model download. Speech to text runs entirely in your browser without needing a server connection. You need internet for the first visit to load the Whisper model, but subsequent use works fully offline if the model is cached. Unlike cloud-based services that require constant connectivity, your audio data never leaves your device.
Is my speech data private and secure?
Absolutely. All speech to text processing happens locally in your browser using WebGPU or WebAssembly. No audio or text is ever sent to any server. Your speech data never leaves your device, making Whisper Web ideal for confidential content like medical notes, legal recordings, and private meetings.
What languages does the free speech recognition support?
Over 100 languages are supported, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, and many more. You can enable automatic language detection or manually select the source language for optimal accuracy.
