    FAQ

    Common questions

    Where are my recordings stored?

    In your browser storage on this device only. Clearing site data deletes them, so download anything you want to keep.

    How big is a two hour recording?

    About 58 MB at 64 kbps mono, 86 MB at 96 kbps and 115 MB at 128 kbps.

    Will it keep recording if the screen locks?

    The page asks your device to stay awake while recording, but locking a phone can still pause the browser. Keep the tab in the foreground for long sessions.

    Is anything sent to a server?

    No. Audio is captured, encoded to MP3 and stored entirely in your browser.

    How to record sound online?

    Open the recorder, press record and allow microphone access. Speak or play the sound near the mic, then press stop. You can play the result back and save it as an MP3. Everything happens in your browser, so you do not need to install anything or create an account.

    Can I record my computer voice online?

    Yes. The recorder captures your voice from your microphone, so you can record your own voice on a computer in the browser. It saves the recording as MP3 on your device. Recording system audio (what the computer plays) is not possible through the microphone alone, and generally needs a loopback input like Stereo Mix.

    How do I record audio on my PC?

    Open this recorder in your PC browser, press record and allow microphone access. When you are done, press stop, listen to the recording and download it as an MP3. If you want to confirm your microphone works first, run the mic test.

    How can I record noise?

    Allow microphone access, put the device near the source of the noise, and press record. Do not talk, so the recording captures only the noise. Recordings can run for up to two hours and stay on your device, which is useful to document a noisy appliance, a neighbour, or an intermittent fault. Browser noise suppression can reduce some sounds, so a raw input from the mic test settings can give a more faithful result.

    Guide

    Voice Recorder: what it checks and how to read it

    Record voice to MP3 in the browser

    The recorder captures your microphone, encodes it to MP3 while you talk, and keeps the file on your device. You can pause and resume, pick 64, 96 or 128 kbps, and record up to two hours. Check your levels first with the online mic test, then press Record.
