Frequently Asked Questions

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?▼

No. The recording is made and stored in your browser only; it is gone when you close the page unless you download it.

Which formats can I download?▼

MP3, WAV, or the original file your browser recorded (WebM in Chrome, Firefox and Edge; M4A in Safari). The original file is the smallest and needs no conversion.

Why does MP3 take a moment the first time?▼

The MP3 encoder (about 30 MB) is downloaded the first time you use it and then cached by your browser.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?▼

Yes, in current versions of Safari and Chrome. Your browser will ask for microphone permission first.

Is there a time limit?▼

No fixed limit, but very long recordings use a lot of memory, especially when converting to WAV or MP3 on a phone.
