Frequently Asked Questions

01.Is the Voice Recorder free to use?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign up and no install. You can record as often as you like, right in your browser.

02.Why does the recorder need microphone permission?

Your browser asks for microphone permission before any recording can start. Without it, the recorder cannot hear anything, so allow the microphone when your browser asks.

03.Why does this recorder not work from a local file preview?

Browsers block media devices on local files for security. From a file preview it will not work. Use the live site over https and allow microphone permission, and it will work.

You download a WebM file named recording.webm. This tool does not include an MP3 encoder, so it honestly offers WebM only, and WebM plays in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Yes. Use Pause to stop the timer for a moment, then Resume to carry on in the same recording. Press Stop only when you are finished.
