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.
Three sources. One button.
Choose what to capture before you hit record. The same button starts all three.
Your microphone
Voice memos, dictation, a quick note to yourself. Press record and talk.
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.
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.
- It saves to disk while you record, not only when you stop.
- It recovers after a crash or a browser restart, automatically.
- 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.
There is no sign-up and no login. Install the extension and start recording. Nothing about you is required to use it.
Your recordings and transcripts stay on your computer. They are not sent to a server, and we never see them.
No analytics, no cookies, no profile. The extension does its job and reports nothing back about how you use it.
