Voice recorder in your browser, nothing installed

Press record.

Nothing is installed, nothing is uploaded — the recording stays on this device until you download it. Use it as an online voice recorder or a plain audio recorder — both record straight to WAV in the browser, with an MP3 download available too.

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: August 2026

Full-quality stems. No account, no per-track fee. Same model and same 192 kbps (or lossless WAV) as the paid tier — tracks up to 15 minutes.

A voice recorder iphone session works through Safari the same way a voice recorder button press does in Chrome on any other device. A voice recorder free of any account works the same on free and paid — the pass only changes stem separation elsewhere on the site.

Whether you think of this as voice recording ai, an audio recording ai tool, an audio recorder ai, or a voice ai recorder — however you stack the words — the recording stays in the browser tab it was made in, except for the optional Download as MP3 step, which converts it on our server and deletes the copy right after. No account, no watermark, no catch.

Why nothing is uploaded

Your browser can record audio on its own, so there is no reason for us to see it. The microphone goes straight into the page, the file is built in the tab, and the download link points at your own device. We could not read the recording if we wanted to — there is nothing to read.

How to record your voice online
  1. Press Start recording and allow the microphone when your browser asks.
  2. Watch the meter move while you talk — if it stays flat, the wrong microphone is selected in your system settings.
  3. Press Stop, listen back, and download it.
  4. Need text instead of audio? ScribeGrab's voice to text turns the recording into a transcript.
  5. Trimmed a bad start, or a long gap of silence to cut? The audio cutter and silence remover both work straight from the file you just downloaded.
Recording singing or an instrument

It works whether you're recording your own singing for a quick demo, want it as an online singing voice recorder, or just need a take to send to a friend, with one caveat that has nothing to do with us: a laptop microphone is built for speech and rolls off the low end, so a guitar or a bass sounds thin through it. Anything plugged in over USB is a different world. If the room was noisy, CleanGrab's noise remover cleans that up afterwards; if it's more that hollow, echoey sound, the room echo page targets that specifically. And if you recorded over a backing track and want the parts separated, that's what the stem splitter on the home page does.

Which file you get

Chrome, Edge and Firefox record WebM; Safari records MP4/AAC, which downloads as an M4A. Both play everywhere that matters and both are smaller than an MP3 at the same quality. The Download as MP3 button is there because plenty of older software still wants one — that is the only path where the audio touches our server, and it is deleted as soon as the file is sent back. Recorded it in more than one take? Think of the audio joiner as a voice recorder merger — a way to merge voice recordings from separate takes into one file. Want to enhance voice recording quality afterward? A voice recording enhancer like CleanGrab can enhance voice recordings for free by cleaning up noise and hum.

Recording for a podcast

This works fine as a podcast voice recorder or podcast audio recorder for a single voice, a solo episode or a quick voice note between full sessions — hit record, talk, download. Looking specifically for a voice recorder for podcast use, or wondering how to record audio podcast content without other software? How to record audio for a podcast here is the same three steps as any other recording: press Start, talk, download. It doesn't replace full podcast audio recording software for multi-person shows with separate tracks per guest, but for audio recording for podcast segments recorded solo, it's the fastest path from microphone to file.

From a video, or alongside one

Need the reverse — pull sound out of a video file you already have, or handle audio video recording together? That's a different tool: to record audio from a video, extract audio from video pulls the soundtrack out directly, no microphone involved.

Coming from a note app's built-in recorder, like evernote voice recording, or looking for an evernote voice recorder alternative? This works the same without needing that app installed — just open the page and press record.

Turning it into a transcript

Plenty of people record here specifically to transcribe audio recording afterward — a meeting, a lecture, a voice memo. Turning it into a transcript isn't part of this page (a recorder just makes audio), but once you've got the file, sending it off elsewhere for that step takes one more upload. Wanting to transcribe voice recorder to text or just get a transcript both start the same way here: record, then send the file to a transcription tool.

Two questions come up a lot. How to transcribe an audio recording: upload the file to a transcription tool and it comes back as a document a few minutes later — for voice recording to transcript free of charge, ScribeGrab's voice to text does exactly that. Wondering how to translate a voice recording into a different language: the same transcription step, with a translation pass added on top — the audio itself doesn't change, only what comes out the other end. And if you just want how to get a transcript of a voice recording, that's one extra upload to a transcription tool afterward.

Recording with a voice changer

This isn't a voice changing recording tool, a voice changer for recording, or a voice recorder and changer — there's no pitch or effect applied while you record, on purpose, so the take you keep is the one that actually came out of the microphone. However you type that request, the answer is the same: record clean here, then run the file through a separate voice changer afterward — keeping the two apart means you always still have the unprocessed original to fall back on. Want the pitch changed instead of a full voice effect? A voice recorder pitch changer combo is really two steps: record here, then run the file through the pitch changer.

Looking for a voice changer recorder or a voice recorder with changer instead of two separate tools? Record clean here, then run the file through the pitch changer afterward — two steps, free on both pages.

On Android, on a Mac, and elsewhere people look for one

Search voice recorders for android or a voice recorder for smartphone and most results want an app-store install first — this is the same job as a page, so there's nothing to download before you can press record. It works the same as a macbook voice recorder in Safari or Chrome, no different from any other desktop.

People look for a good voice recorder app or good voice recorders in general or something that just feels like a cool voice recorder to use — the honest answer is it's plain: one button, a meter, a download link, nothing more. Search best voice recorder app for android or best voice recorders for android and you'll find dozens of store listings; this skips the store entirely, open the page and record.

It's not a studio voice recorder or a professional voice recorder in the sense of dedicated hardware and a treated room — a laptop or phone mic is built for speech, not a vocal booth — but for a smart voice recorder that's fast for a quick take, a demo or a voice memo, a real studio session usually isn't worth setting up.

As a Discord voice recorder — and what it cannot do

As a discord voice recorder this is useful for one specific job: capturing your own voice to turn into something you then upload — a soundboard clip, an intro, a voice line for a bot. Record here, then take the file to the audio cutter, tick the Discord soundboard box, and you have a 5-second clip at a sensible volume.

What it cannot do, and this is worth saying plainly: it records your microphone only. It cannot capture a Discord call, because the other people in that call arrive as sound coming out of your speakers, and a browser has no access to that. Recording a whole conversation needs a system-level tool, not a web page — and in a fair number of countries it also needs everyone in the call to agree first.

Common questions

How do I record sound online without installing anything?

Click record, allow the microphone, and speak or sing — the audio stays in your browser the whole time, with nothing sent anywhere until you choose to download it.

Can I record singing, not just speech, for free?

Yes — it works the same for singing as for speech: hit record, sing along to a backing track in another tab if you like, then download the take as a WAV or MP3.

Is the voice recorder free?

Yes — no account, no e-mail, no time limit and no watermark.

Is my recording uploaded?

No. It is made and kept in your browser; the download comes off your own device. The only exception is the Download as MP3 button, which converts on our server and deletes the file straight after.

Can I record on my phone?

Yes, in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone. Keep the tab in the foreground — a phone stops a background tab from using the microphone.

The meter does not move.

The browser is on the wrong microphone. Check which input your system has selected, and that no other program (a call, a meeting) has taken exclusive hold of it.

Can I record what is playing on my computer?

No — this records the microphone, not system sound. Capturing what your computer plays needs a system-level tool.

Can I get it as MP3?

Yes, with the Download as MP3 button. Browsers themselves cannot write MP3, so that one step happens on our server.

Does a voice recorder android app work the same as a voice recorder application for android from the app store?

Better, in one way: this needs no app-store install at all — just open the page in Chrome on your Android phone and start recording.

Is there a smartphone voice recorder that works without installing a voice recorder application iPhone or Android needs separately?

Yes — the same page works as a smartphone voice recorder on both: Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, nothing to install either way.

What makes this the best voice recorder app if it's not even an app?

That's really the point: rather than being the best voice recorder app in a store full of them, it's a page that works the same in any modern browser — including as a mac voice recorder in Safari or Chrome on the desktop.

Is there a free online voice recorder?

Yes — StemGrab includes a free online voice recorder that runs in your browser. No account, no time limit and no app to install — press record and start.

Open StemGrab's voice recorder in your browser, press Start recording, allow the microphone once, and press Stop when done. The recording stays on your device until you download it.

Yes. StemGrab's voice recorder uses your browser's built-in microphone access — nothing is installed and, except for the Download as MP3 step, nothing is uploaded either.

Yes — StemGrab's voice recorder works directly in the browser with no account, no e-mail and no app to install. Open the page and press record.

Can I record myself singing karaoke, with autotune?

How do I record a full karaoke sing-along session?

Open your backing track in one tab and this voice recorder in another, press Start, and sing — the karaoke voice recording that comes out is just your vocal, ready to mix back over the instrumental afterward.

Is this a recorder voice online tool, or just a sound audio recorder?

Both describe it: a recorder voice online tool that also works as a plain sound audio recorder, all in the browser tab, with no install and no account.

Is the voice recorder converter step the only place MP3 gets made, or does it record as MP3 directly?

The converter step only — recording happens as WAV in the browser, and pressing Download as MP3 sends it to our server for that one conversion.

Is this a good voice recorder for meetings, with more than one speaker?

It captures your own microphone the same as any other recording — fine for your side of a meeting, though it can't pick up other people's audio playing through your speakers.

Yes indirectly — record here, download the file, then attach it in WhatsApp as you would any audio file; there's no direct send-to-WhatsApp step.

Is there a voice recorder enhancer for background noise?

Not on this page — record here, then run the download through CleanGrab to pull hum, hiss and room noise out afterward.

Is this free recording website the same page as the voice recorder?

Is voice recording online here saved automatically as I talk?

Is there a voice recorder with transcription built in?

Not on this page directly, but the link under the player sends the recording straight to ScribeGrab for a text transcript — a voice recorder with transcription across two tools, no re-upload needed.

Is this a voice recorder for pc, or only for phones?

Both — it runs the same way in the browser as a voice recorder for pc on Windows or Mac, or as a voice recorder app for computer use generally; no separate desktop download exists or is needed.

Does it work as a voice recorder with external mic, not just the built-in one?

Yes — plug in a USB microphone and select it in your browser or system sound settings first; from there this is a voice recorder external microphone setup as much as a voice recorder external mic one, and using a voice recorder with external microphone or a voice recorder with external mic makes no difference to how it works — the browser just records whichever input is selected, and an external microphone for voice recorder use almost always sounds better than a laptop's built-in one.

A few things this page doesn't do

Looking for a reverse voice recorder — a take that plays backwards? This page doesn't flip audio; ConvertNinja's reverse audio tool does that step once you've downloaded the recording here.

A backwards voice recorder is usually wanted for a backmasking effect: record the line forwards here first, then run the download through that same reverse audio tool to flip it.

A watch voice recorder — the kind built into an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch — records straight from the watch's own microphone with no phone or browser involved; this page needs an actual browser tab, so it's built for a phone, tablet or computer instead.

As a high quality voice recorder, this captures raw WAV in the browser rather than compressing on the fly — MP3 only gets made afterward, as an optional extra step, if that's the format you actually need.

Wondering where is my voice recorder on this phone? On an iPhone that's the Voice Memos app, preinstalled but easy to lose track of if the home screen's been reorganised into folders. On Android it's usually an app called Recorder or Sound Recorder, if the phone's maker bundled one.

Some Android phones, mostly budget models, ship with no app at all behind a where is voice recorder on my phone search — this page works the same regardless of what came preinstalled, since it only needs a browser.

As a background voice recorder this falls short on a phone: a minimised tab or a locked screen stops the microphone, since phones suspend background tabs. The native Voice Memos or Recorder app on the device is built for that; this page isn't.

Used as a voice recorder and transcriber together, the link under the player sends the finished take straight to ScribeGrab for a text transcript, no re-upload needed.
