Overview
Transcribe Audio is a lightweight web utility that captures audio from your browser microphone and converts speech to text instantly.

The site focuses on practical usage tips—speaking clearly, using spoken punctuation cues (for example, saying \"period\" or \"comma\"), and minimizing background noise—to improve transcription accuracy.
