How It Works

Recording Tips
Find a Quiet Space
Background noise reduces recording quality. Close windows and move away from fans or AC units.
Stay Close to the Mic
Position yourself 6-12 inches from the microphone for the best balance of volume and clarity.
Check Your Levels
Watch the waveform — if it flatlines, speak louder. If it clips, move back slightly.
Use a Pop Filter
For professional recordings, a pop filter or foam windscreen reduces plosive sounds (P, B, T).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the online voice recorder free?
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.
Where are my recordings stored?
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.
What audio format are recordings saved in?
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.
Can I record longer than 5 minutes?
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.
Why can't I hear anything when I record?
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.
