How it works

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.
