Which browsers support speech recognition?

Chrome and Edge have full support. Firefox and Safari have limited or no support. Use Chrome for the best experience.

Is my audio stored anywhere?

Irreva does not store your audio. Chrome and Edge send audio to Google's speech recognition servers for processing. The resulting text is returned to your browser. No audio is stored by Irreva.

What languages are supported?

This tool supports 12 languages including English (US/UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.

Why does it sometimes transcribe incorrectly?

Speech recognition accuracy depends on microphone quality, background noise, accent, and speaking speed. Speak clearly and at a moderate pace for the best results.

Can I edit the transcript?

The transcript text area is for display. Copy it and paste it into a text editor or word processor to make edits.

Which browsers support speech-to-text?

Chrome and Edge have the best support for the Web Speech API. Firefox and Safari have limited or no support. For best results, use Chrome.

Is my audio sent to a server?

The Web Speech API may send audio to Google's servers for processing in Chrome. The audio is processed for transcription purposes only and not stored by Irreva. Safari uses on-device processing.

How accurate is the transcription?

Accuracy depends on microphone quality, background noise, and accent. In quiet conditions with a clear microphone, most modern browsers achieve 90%+ accuracy for common language pairs.
