Speech to Text. Your words, appearing live.
Dictate in 30+ languages and watch the transcript build word by word, then edit, copy or download it. Recognition runs through your browser's own speech engine — nothing is uploaded to us.
A free online tool by Digital HeroesHonest note: Digital Heroes never sees or stores your audio or text, but speech recognition itself is done by your browser/OS built-in speech service (e.g. Chrome may process audio on Google’s servers). If you need fully offline dictation, use your OS’s native dictation feature.

Speak clearly at a normal pace, pick the exact locale you speak (e.g. English, India vs English, US), and use a headset mic if you can. Recognition pauses on silence — with auto-restart on, it picks back up automatically so long dictation sessions keep flowing.
Everything a dictation tool should do.
- Live voice-to-text transcription in 30+ languages and locales, with real-time interim results as you speak.
- Continuous dictation with auto-restart, so long sessions keep flowing even when recognition pauses on silence.
- Timestamp each result to build time-coded notes or meeting logs, and auto-capitalize sentences for you.
- Edit the transcript freely in the text area before saving, with a live word and character count.
- Copy or download your finished transcript as a plain .txt file with one click.
- Private by construction: your text is never uploaded to Digital Heroes, and no sign-up is needed.
Five steps, no manual.
