Keep your microphone about one hand-span (6-8 inches) away from your mouth. This prevents distortion while keeping your voice warm and present.
Words starting with "P" and "B" can cause air blasts. If you don't have a pop filter, speak slightly *past* the mic rather than directly into it.
Before the main recording, do a 10-second test. If the waveform is hitting the top/bottom edges, lower your computer's input volume to avoid clipping.
Most free recorders upload your audio to a cloud server to process it. We do things differently.
VoiceCraft runs locally. When you click record, the audio processing happens right here on your device. This means:
Capture your audio. Use the "Live Transcription" feature to see text appear in real-time so you can spot mistakes instantly.
Don't stop at the raw text. One click sends your transcript to our Script Editor to fix grammar and improve flow.
Need to share meeting notes? Send it to the Action Item Extractor. Podcasting? Use the Show Notes Generator.
In an era where data privacy is paramount, the distinction between "Cloud Processing" and "Local Processing" is critical. Traditional voice recorders send your audio stream to a remote server (often in a different country) to be processed and saved. This introduces two major risks: Latency and Data Security.
VoiceCraft leverages WebAudio API and WebAssembly to process your audio signal directly within your browser's execution environment. This means the binary data representing your voice never travels over the internet during the recording phase. For professionals recording sensitive interviews, legal dictations, or confidential corporate meetings, this "air-gapped" approach provides peace of mind that compliance standards are met by default.
Choosing the right format is essential for your use case. VoiceCraft offers two primary export options:
