What this tool does
Speech to Text turns spoken audio into text when browser or supported transcription features are available.

🎙️ Speech to Text
Transcribe speech into editable text with your browser's built-in recognition. Your browser or OS vendor may process audio in the cloud; Utilito does not store it or require an API key.
How this works
Speech recognition uses your browser's Web Speech API. Audio is processed by the browser's built-in speech engine — typically sending audio to the browser vendor's cloud for recognition. Nothing is stored on Utilito's servers. Results are not guaranteed to be perfectly accurate.
Browser support: Best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Safari support is limited. Firefox does not currently support this API.
Why it is useful
It helps draft notes, captions, transcripts, search text, and follow-up summaries from spoken content.
How it works
The tool uses available speech-recognition capabilities or file input behavior described on the page.
Best input
Use clear audio with minimal background noise and identify speakers manually when needed.
Editing tip
Always proofread transcripts for names, numbers, jargon, and punctuation before sharing.
Privacy note
Privacy depends on the browser or transcription method used; check the page behavior and avoid sensitive audio if uncertain.
Important limitation
Transcription accuracy varies with audio quality, accent, language, background noise, and specialized vocabulary.
Quick answers
Is transcription perfect?
No. Review important transcripts manually.
Can it identify speakers?
Only if the tool explicitly supports speaker handling; otherwise add labels yourself.
