Which Audio Format Should You Choose?
WAV (Uncompressed) records raw studio audio with maximum fidelity, making it ideal for music, podcast editing, and transcription. WebM / Opus compresses audio efficiently with smaller file sizes, perfect for voice memos and email sharing.
Preventing Distortion & Audio Clipping
If your voice sounds harsh, crackly, or distorted on playback, your microphone volume is likely set too high, causing digital clipping. In Windows or macOS sound settings, lower your microphone input level to around 70%–80% so speech peaks don't max out the meter.
100% Client-Side Privacy
Your voice recording is captured and encoded entirely in your browser's local RAM. No audio files, snippets, or transcripts are sent to remote servers or third-party clouds.
