Record in one click.
Nothing leaves your device.

Online Voice Recorder is a free Chrome extension that captures your microphone and tab audio, survives crashes and restarts, and turns recordings into text. No account, no uploads, no tracking.

Add to Chrome Free. No account needed.

Three sources. One button.

Choose what to capture before you hit record. The same button starts all three.

MIC

Your microphone

Voice memos, dictation, a quick note to yourself. Press record and talk.

TAB

Any tab's audio

Record a call or a lecture playing in any tab. Capturing the tab does not join the call, and nothing announces itself to the other people in it.

MIC + TAB

Both at once

Your voice and the meeting together, mixed live. Balance the two levels while you record so neither side gets buried.

Built so you can't lose a recording.

Recording is the one thing that should never fail quietly. This one is written to survive the bad moments.

  1. It saves to disk while you record, not only when you stop.
  2. It recovers after a crash or a browser restart, automatically.
  3. Finished files land in your Downloads folder, where you can find them.

From audio to text, on your device.

The speech model runs locally in your browser. Your audio never leaves the computer to become text.

A live transcript appears while you record, so you can read along.

Edit the text in place to fix a name or a number.

Copy it or download it as plain text when you are done.

No accounts. No uploads. No tracking.

Three plain promises, and the product is built to keep them.

NO ACCOUNTS

There is no sign-up and no login. Install the extension and start recording. Nothing about you is required to use it.

NO UPLOADS

Your recordings and transcripts stay on your computer. They are not sent to a server, and we never see them.

NO TRACKING

No analytics, no cookies, no profile. The extension does its job and reports nothing back about how you use it.

Questions, answered plainly.

Is it really free?
Yes. Online Voice Recorder is free, with no account, no trial, and no paid tier. Recording, the side panel library, and on-device transcription all work the same for everyone.
Where are my recordings stored?
On your computer. Recordings and transcripts live in your browser's local storage, and finished audio files are saved to your Downloads folder. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Can it record a meeting or lecture from a tab?
Yes. Pick TAB to record the audio playing in any browser tab, or MIC plus TAB to capture your own voice and the tab together. Recording a tab does not join the call or announce itself to other people.
Does my audio ever leave my computer?
No. Audio is captured, saved, and transcribed on your device. The speech model downloads once and then runs locally in your browser, so your recordings are never sent anywhere.
What languages does transcription support?
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Russian. You pick the language for a recording, and the text is generated on your device.
How do I get a recording back after a crash?
It is already saved. Online Voice Recorder writes audio to disk while you record, so if Chrome or your computer restarts, the recording is recovered automatically and waits for you in the RECORDINGS side panel.
