Online Voice Recorder

Select Start recording and allow microphone access when your browser asks. Speak, then select Stop. The recording opens in the editor, where you can trim it, play it back and download it as WAV or MP3.

Recording, playback, trimming and the WAV and original downloads all happen inside your browser, and that audio never leaves your device. Only Export MP3 sends the trimmed clip to the server, because the MP3 is encoded there; the upload and the result are temporary files removed by the scheduled cleanup. If you do not want to upload anything, use Download WAV.

Up to 15 minutes. A countdown appears in the last minute and the recording stops by itself at the limit, keeping everything recorded so far. For longer material, record it in parts and combine the files with Audio Joiner.

WAV is uncompressed, plays everywhere and is best for editing later, at about 5.5 MB per minute. MP3 is roughly a tenth of that size and is the better choice for email and messaging: Standard (96 kbps) suits speech, High (128 kbps) keeps more detail and Small (64 kbps) makes the smallest file. Download original gives you the browser's own recording (WebM, M4A or Ogg) without the trim.

Move the Start and End sliders under the waveform, or type times in seconds for exact cuts. The highlighted part is what will be saved. Select Play selection to hear only that part, and Reset trim to return to the whole recording. The clip must be at least a tenth of a second long.

It asks your browser to apply noise suppression, echo cancellation and automatic gain, which makes speech clearer in an ordinary room. Turn it off before you record music, an instrument or anything where you want the unprocessed microphone signal. The setting is fixed once a recording starts.

The page needs microphone permission from both the browser and your system. Select the lock or settings icon in the address bar and set Microphone to Allow, then check the microphone section of your system privacy settings. If the wrong device is used, pick another one from the Microphone list, or check it first with Mic Test.

Yes to both. Pause stops the clock and the recording until you select Resume, and the result is one continuous file. You can switch tabs while recording; the microphone stays on until you select Stop. Your browser asks for confirmation if you try to close the page with an unsaved recording.
