About the voice recorder

This recorder uses your browser’s built-in MediaRecorder to capture microphone audio locally. Start, pause, and stop as needed, preview the result, and download it as an audio file. Nothing is sent to any server — the recording never leaves your device. Great for quick voice notes, memos, and audio clips.
