Do I need to download or install anything?

No. This is a true no-download voice recorder. It runs entirely in your web browser using the MediaRecorder and Web Audio APIs. No software, extensions, or plugins required—just visit the page and allow mic access.

Will there be a branding on my recording?

Accepted Answer

Never. We do not brand your audio files in any way. The downloaded WebM or WAV file is completely clean and ready to use in any project.

Question 4

Are my recordings private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All recording and encoding happens locally in your browser. Your audio is never sent to our servers. When you close the tab, the temporary in-memory data is cleared. Only you have access to your recordings.

Question 5

Is there a time limit?

Accepted Answer

Each take auto-stops at 15 minutes to protect browser memory on lower-end devices. There is no total session cap—download the take and start a new one to record as long as you need.

Question 6

Which browsers and devices are supported?

Accepted Answer

Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on both desktop and mobile generally support the MediaRecorder API for audio. For the best WAV export reliability, Chrome on desktop is recommended.

Question 7

Why is WAV sometimes unavailable?

Accepted Answer

WAV export requires the browser to decode the recorded Opus/WebM blob back to raw PCM using AudioContext.decodeAudioData(). If the browser cannot decode that specific codec (rare on older Safari), WAV will be greyed out—but the WebM download always works.

Question 8

Can I use this on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern iOS Safari (17+) and Android Chrome support getUserMedia for microphone recording. The waveform and download flow work on mobile. WAV export availability depends on the mobile browser's codec support.
