Frequently asked questions
How accurate is it?
Modern browsers use cloud-backed recognition (Google, Apple, Microsoft) and reach 90–95% accuracy in clean audio with a good microphone. Noisy rooms, accents, and jargon reduce accuracy.
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Opera support the Web Speech Recognition API. Firefox currently does not - use one of the others.
Is my audio sent to a server?
The Web Speech API in most browsers streams audio to the browser vendor's recognition service (e.g. Google for Chrome). No third-party server is involved - the audio doesn't touch 712tools.com.
Can I transcribe an existing audio file?
The Web Speech API only takes live mic input. For file transcription, play the file back into your mic (or use a virtual audio device) - or use a dedicated transcription service.
