Recording with a microphone made easy. Here's how it works
Our browser audio recorder is ready to go in seconds. Click on Start recording and the integrated voice recorder will start recording your voice recordings. You can see the levels, adjust the volume if necessary, and hear the result directly in the player. Tip for clear takes: Reduce background noise by using a quiet room and a consistent mouth-to-mic setup. This way, you can create successful interviews and podcasts without additional recording programs such as Audacity and similar software.
Why you should use our web app for your audio recording
You don’t need any apps from Google Play and no installation. The web app runs in current browsers on Windows, Android, as well as on mobile phones and tablets. You can use an external microphone via USB. USB microphones or headsets with Bluetooth also work via the respective interface of your device. Compared to a hardware recorder or audio recorder, you save time and money, yet the workflow remains professional. If desired, you can export files directly for transcription or editing. Suitable accessories such as pop filters or table arms further improve consistency.

Record microphone with our audio tool
Sometimes it’s not that easy to record a WAV or MP3 file. There are lots of apps, voice recorders, and other tools available. But most of them compress the files or require additional installation. Even the built-in iPhone app usually saves audio files in compressed form. This means a loss of quality. And buying a dictation device just for this purpose is somehow overkill.
