Stop when you are done. VoiceScribe saves and uploads the recorded audio before starting transcription.

Recording requirements
After transcription

Recorder help
Use these checks if your browser cannot start recording or if a recording was interrupted before transcription began.
Open the site permissions beside the address bar, set Microphone to Allow, and reload the page. If access is still blocked, allow microphone access for your browser in the device privacy settings.
While recording, VoiceScribe saves audio segments in this browser. If the tab or browser closes unexpectedly, reopen this recording page on the same browser and device so recovery can continue automatically.
Before leaving during a recording
The browser shows a confirmation before closing or navigating away while a recording is active. Staying on the page is the safest option until recording and processing finish.
FAQ
Yes. Allow microphone access, record for up to three hours, and pause or resume whenever needed. After you finish, VoiceScribe uploads the audio and starts automatic transcription.
No. Finish recording first. After the saved audio uploads, transcription starts and text arrives in chunks while processing continues. You can read incoming text before the full transcript is complete; this is not live microphone captioning.
No. VoiceScribe streams transcript text as it becomes available, so you can start reading before the full result is ready. Time to the first text varies with the upload, recording, and processing conditions; there is no fixed latency guarantee.
Yes, on supported desktop browsers. Choose Online meeting, select your Google Meet or Zoom browser tab, enable Share tab audio, and allow microphone access. Screen or window audio for desktop apps depends on the browser and operating system. If no audio is shared, recording will not start. Only audio is saved, not screen video.
A recording must be at least 5 seconds and can be up to 3 hours long. The recorder stops automatically at the maximum duration.
Yes. Use Pause while recording and Resume when you are ready. The audio remains part of the same recording.
