About this tool

A voice message, a note for later, a speech rehearsal or a podcast clip: record your voice with your computer or phone microphone, pause if needed, listen back, then download the file as MP3 or WAV.

When to use it

Voice message

Record a message to send by email or attach to a form.

Rehearse a speech

Listen to yourself to improve your pace and pronunciation.

Quick note

Keep an idea spoken aloud without installing an app.

How to use

  1. Click “Start recording” and allow the microphone.
  2. Speak; use “Pause” to continue later.
  3. Click “Finish” and listen back.
  4. Choose MP3 or WAV and save the file.

How it works

The browser records the microphone with MediaRecorder; the waveform and muted-mic detection come from ZanaKit's microphone test.

When you finish, the recording is converted to MP3 (128 kbps, ideal for voice) or WAV in your browser with the Mediabunny library. The sound is never uploaded.

Tips for best results

  • Speak 20 to 30 cm from the microphone, in a quiet room.
  • A headset microphone sounds clearer than a built-in one.
  • Do a short test before a long recording.
  • To trim silence at the start or end, use “Cut audio”.
