Records your microphone right in the browser — no app or extension to install.
Chromebooks make it hard to install desktop recording apps, so the browser is the natural place to capture audio. This free Chromebook voice recorder runs entirely in Chrome — press record, speak, and you have a file you can play back, download, or transcribe. It's a simple alternative to the built-in ChromeOS Recorder app and clunky Chrome extensions, with accurate AI transcription built in.
Click Start recording and approve the microphone prompt. It works in Chrome on any Chromebook — no app, no extension, and no sign-up to record.
Speak, present, or capture a lesson. A live level meter shows your mic is working, and you can pause and resume as many times as you need.
Save the recording to your Chromebook, or click Get transcript to turn it into searchable, timestamped text with speaker labels.
Unlike Chrome Web Store recorders, this tool runs in the browser tab you already have open. Nothing to install, nothing to update, and nothing for an IT admin to approve.
Built for ChromeOS limitations. As long as you have Chrome and a microphone, you can record — including on locked-down school and work Chromebooks.
The native Recorder app only gives you audio. Here you can turn any recording into clean, searchable text in over 100 languages.
Pause to collect your thoughts and resume without starting over. Play back the recording before you download or transcribe it.
Your recording stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded until you choose to download it or send it for transcription.
Download a copy of every recording to your Chromebook's Downloads folder so you always have the original.
If the Recorder app is missing, disabled by your school, or you simply want transcripts, this browser recorder fills the gap without any setup.
Teachers and language instructors can capture oral assignments, reading fluency checks, and pronunciation practice straight from a Chromebook.
Hit record at the start of a class or call and get a full audio file — plus an optional transcript you can search and share.
Turn quick spoken notes into text so you can find any idea later instead of scrubbing through audio.
Record oral assignments, language practice, and feedback for students directly on a school Chromebook.
Capture lectures and study sessions, then transcribe them into notes you can review and search.
Record pronunciation and speaking practice, play it back, and track how you improve over time.
Grab quick voice memos and meeting notes on a Chromebook without installing any software.
Some older Chromebooks don't include the built-in Recorder app, and many school or work Chromebooks have it disabled by an administrator. This online recorder works in any Chrome browser without it — just press record.
Open this page, click Start recording, and allow microphone access when Chrome asks. Speak or play your audio, then click Finish. From there you can download the file or get a transcript. No app or extension is required.
This tool records your microphone. To capture audio playing inside a tab — like a video or other participants on a call — you'd need a screen recorder with audio instead. For meeting recordings you already have, you can upload the file to our transcription tools.
Your recording stays in the browser until you act on it. Clicking Download recording saves the audio file to your Chromebook's Downloads folder; clicking Get transcript sends it for transcription.
Yes. Recording and downloading are completely free with no sign-up. Transcribing a recording into text uses your free transcription quota, and you can sign in when you're ready to transcribe.
You can record your own microphone during a Google Meet, but capturing other people's audio requires their consent and a screen or tab recorder. If you already have a meeting recording, upload it to our Google Meet transcription tool to get the text.
