Is voice typing free?

Yes. There's no cost, no sign-up and no limit on how much you type.

Which browsers support voice typing?

Chrome, Edge and Safari, on computers and phones. Firefox doesn't offer live speech recognition to websites yet.

Does Spokly hear or keep my voice?

No. Your browser's speech service turns your voice into text, and Spokly never receives the audio. The text stays on this page until you copy or download it.

Why doesn't the microphone work?

Your browser may be blocking it. Click the icon next to the address bar, allow the microphone for spokly.net, then press the button again. If you opened Spokly inside Instagram or Facebook, open it in Chrome or Safari instead.

Can I type in Arabic dialects?

Yes. Choose Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Iraqi, Maghrebi or Sudanese Arabic, or Modern Standard Arabic. How well each dialect works depends on your browser's speech service.

Free Voice Typing Online: Speak and It Types

How to type with your voice

Choose your language. The browser listens for the language you pick, including Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine and other kinds of Arabic.
Press the round button. The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone. Choose Allow.
Speak. Words appear as you talk; the last few may change as the browser becomes more sure. Press the button again to stop.
Edit the text in the box, then Copy it or Download TXT.

Voice typing or a recording?

Voice typing is for words you're saying now. If you already have a recording, such as a voice note, a meeting or a video, use audio and video to text instead: it reads the file directly, on your device. For captions with timings, make a subtitle file.

Tips for better results

Speak in full sentences at a normal pace, close to the microphone.
Add punctuation while you edit. Browsers often leave out commas and full stops, or guess them.
Use a quiet room. Background talk and music lead to more mistakes.

Privacy

Voice typing uses your browser's own speech recognition. In Chrome, Edge and Safari, the speech is usually processed by Google, Microsoft or Apple. Spokly doesn't receive your audio, and your text stays in this page until you copy or download it.
