Need a free speech-to-text tool you can actually use today? Congero Transcribe runs in your browser, asks for microphone access, and turns your spoken words into editable text you can copy into email, docs, Slack, CRM fields, or forms. Start with 500 transcribed words per day at no cost, with a simple upgrade to $7.99/month AUD if you need unlimited live dictation, AI Enhance, and audio file uploads.
Demo sessions are limited. Free accounts include 500 transcribed words per day.
A lot of “free” voice typing tools are either too limited to be useful, tied to a single editor, or awkward on a work laptop where you cannot install anything. By the time you work around the product, you could have typed the note yourself.
If you only need a quick draft, you do not want a complicated setup. You want a browser page, a microphone prompt, near-live text, and a way to move that text into the app where the actual work happens.
That is the gap this page is built for: a real online speech-to-text workflow that is free to start, fast enough for everyday work, and simple enough to use without IT help.
Congero Transcribe is a browser-first transcription tool, so you can open it, speak naturally, and watch your words appear in an editable text area. When you are done, copy the transcript and paste it wherever you need it.
For normal live dictation, your audio and transcript content are processed in memory and not stored server-side by default. That makes it a practical choice for people who want a lightweight tool without unnecessary friction.
The free account gives you 500 transcribed words per day. If you need more than occasional dictation, one simple paid plan at $7.99/month AUD unlocks unlimited live dictation, AI Enhance, and audio file upload transcription.
The workflow is intentionally simple. Speak first, tidy the text lightly, then paste it into the app you already use.
No download, no browser extension, and no separate desktop app. Just open Congero Transcribe in a modern browser and allow microphone access when prompted.
Dictate at a normal pace. The tool is built for everyday writing tasks like emails, notes, summaries, and follow-ups, not robotic word-by-word transcription.
Your text appears in an editable field, so you can fix a name, add a punctuation mark, or trim an awkward phrase before copying it.
Use one-click copy, then paste into Google Docs, Word, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, Notion, a CRM, a form, or any other destination app.
If you outgrow the free daily allowance, the paid plan keeps the same browser workflow and adds unlimited live dictation, AI Enhance, and audio uploads.
Free browser dictation is most useful when the job is small, urgent, or repetitive — the kind of writing that blocks your day if you insist on typing it all.
Draft short replies, status updates, and follow-up messages without staring at a blank box.
Example: dictate a client follow-up after a call, then paste it into Gmail or Outlook.
When you cannot install software or request an extension, browser dictation gives you a practical workaround that still fits your corporate device.
Example: dictate meeting notes, then paste them into a document or internal system.
Speak your first draft while the lecture, article, or reading is still fresh, then clean it up afterwards.
Example: turn class reflections into a study summary before you lose the thread.
Capture the call while it is still in your head. Browser dictation is often faster than typing in a narrow text field.
Example: dictate a sales opportunity recap or support handover note.
When ideas come faster than your fingers, speech-to-text helps you capture momentum before it disappears.
Example: create a rough blog outline, LinkedIn post, or video script opener.
The free version is not a teaser page. It is a usable dictation workflow with enough capability to handle everyday writing tasks.
Runs in a modern browser with no install, no extension, and no admin approval step.
Your dictated text appears in a place you can review, refine, and clean up before copying it out.
Instead of forcing you to rewrite inside another app, Congero lets you move the transcript wherever you need it.
Words appear quickly enough to keep pace with natural speaking, so you can keep your train of thought intact.
When your draft is long enough, you can ask for transformations such as summarise, prioritise, elaborate, mind map, flowchart, or tree-style output.
Paid access includes transcription for uploaded audio files when you need more than live dictation.
The difference is not just the model. It is the workflow, the privacy posture, and the fact that it is built for people who need to copy text into existing tools rather than live inside a new one.
Dictate in Congero, then paste into the system of record you already use. That keeps the workflow flexible across email, docs, chat, and CRM tools.
Because it runs in the browser, it is practical for corporate laptops where installing software or extensions is difficult or impossible.
You get a real daily allowance of 500 words instead of an unclear trial that disappears the moment you actually need it.
If you need more than casual dictation, there is one plan at $7.99/month AUD with no tiers to compare and no feature maze to decode.
For normal live transcription, audio and transcript content are processed in memory and not stored server-side by default.
This is for people who think by speaking and want to turn rough spoken thoughts into usable text quickly.
If you only need to draft a few messages, notes, or summaries each day, the free account can be enough to replace a lot of low-value typing. You get a straightforward browser workflow and a daily allowance that is easy to understand.
That is especially useful if you want to test whether speaking is actually faster for your work. Some people only need dictation for one-off tasks. Others realise it changes how they write every day. Either way, you can start without paying first.
Many people search for speech to text online free because they do not want to learn a new tool for every destination app. Congero is designed as a neutral scratchpad: capture your thoughts here, then move them into the app you already use.
That means you do not need to care whether the final destination is Google Docs, Word, Slack, Teams, Notion, a CRM, a support desk, or a form. The dictation step stays the same.
The free account is meant for practical use, not unlimited consumption. Once you reach 500 transcribed words in a day, you can wait for the allowance to reset or upgrade to the paid plan.
The paid plan keeps the same browser-first workflow and unlocks unlimited live dictation, AI Enhance, and audio file upload transcription for users who rely on voice input more heavily.
A good test is simple: does the tool reduce friction, or does it create more steps than typing? If you can open a page, speak naturally, and paste the result in less time than it would take to type the same text, the workflow is doing its job.
That is the standard Congero Transcribe is built around. It is not trying to replace every writing app. It is trying to make the first draft much faster.
Yes. Free accounts include 500 transcribed words per day. If you need more, the paid plan is $7.99/month AUD and includes unlimited live dictation, AI Enhance, and audio file upload transcription.
No. Congero Transcribe runs in your browser. There is no desktop app, mobile app, browser extension, or admin approval step required.
Yes, it is designed to be useful on locked-down laptops where installing software is difficult. If your browser can open a website and access your microphone, you can use it.
For normal live transcription, audio and transcript content are processed in memory and not stored server-side by default. Limited technical records may be kept for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and service operation.
It is built for practical everyday dictation with near-live transcription powered by advanced Whisper AI models. Accuracy will vary with audio quality, accent, background noise, and how clearly you speak, so it is still wise to review important text before using it.
Congero Transcribe works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on modern devices.
Yes, but the workflow is copy and paste rather than direct typing inside every app. Dictate in Congero, lightly edit the transcript, then paste it into Google Docs, Word, Slack, Teams, your CRM, or any other destination.
AI Enhance is a separate feature that can transform a transcript after you have dictated at least 75 words. You can use it for summarising, prioritising, elaborating, or turning notes into structures like mind maps, flowcharts, and trees.
If you choose Enhance, the transcript text you submit is sent to model providers to generate the improved output. Congero may retain Enhance input text, generated output, selected persona, model metadata, and usage metadata for up to 30 days for troubleshooting and product improvement.
Open Congero Transcribe, speak naturally, and copy the result into the app you already use. No install. No extension. Free daily allowance included. Privacy-first by default.
