Questions

Why does the browser ask for permission?

Web pages can only use the microphone after you allow it. Choose Allow when asked. If you blocked it by mistake, click the microphone or lock icon in the address bar to change the setting, then reload.

How long can I record?

As long as you like, within your device’s storage: the recording is kept compressed without loss while you record, about 20 MB per hour for speech. Keep the tab open; on phones, locking the screen may pause recording.

Which format should I choose?

MP3 plays everywhere. M4A is smaller for the same quality and is what iPhones use. WAV and FLAC keep every detail for editing; FLAC is about half the size of WAV.

Should I keep noise reduction on?

For speech, yes: it removes hum and background noise and prevents echo from speakers. For music or instruments, turn it off; it can treat notes as noise and flatten the sound.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
