Record audio from your microphone with real-time waveform visualization. Play back, download, and manage your recordings — all in your browser.
Click the record button to start. Your browser will ask for microphone permission.
Press the record button and allow microphone access when prompted by your browser.
Watch the real-time waveform as you record. Pause and resume anytime.
Listen to your recording and download it as an audio file to keep.
Background noise reduces recording quality. Close windows and move away from fans or AC units.
Position yourself 6-12 inches from the microphone for the best balance of volume and clarity.
Watch the waveform — if it flatlines, speak louder. If it clips, move back slightly.
For professional recordings, a pop filter or foam windscreen reduces plosive sounds (P, B, T).
Yes, this voice recorder is completely free with no hidden costs or limits. It runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, no account needed. Record as many clips as you like during your session.
Your recordings are stored temporarily in your browser's memory only. They are never uploaded to any server. Once you close or refresh the page, recordings are deleted. Download any recordings you want to keep.
Recordings are saved in WebM format (Opus codec) in most browsers, which provides excellent quality at small file sizes. Safari may use MP4/AAC format instead. Both formats are widely supported by media players.
The maximum recording length is 5 minutes per clip. This limit helps prevent accidentally large files and ensures smooth browser performance. For longer recordings, simply start a new recording after each clip.
The recorder doesn't play back audio in real-time to prevent feedback loops. The waveform visualization shows that your microphone is picking up sound. After recording, click the play button to listen to your recording.
