Free voice & audio tools
A small kit of free, browser-based tools for working with your microphone and voice — no install, no sign-up, nothing uploaded. Test your mic, record and download audio, turn speech into text, and read text aloud. They’re also a live taste of what Openbroca does across your Mac: voice as a real input layer.
The local-processing and no-upload statements on these pages apply to the browser tools themselves. The Openbroca Mac app uses cloud services as described in its Privacy Policy.
Private by default
Every tool here runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs (getUserMedia, MediaRecorder, and the Web Speech API). Your microphone audio and text are processed on your device and are never sent to our servers — most tools don’t even keep a recording once you reload the page. It’s the same principle behind Openbroca: your voice should stay yours.
From browser demo to your whole Mac
These tools are handy on their own, but they only work inside this tab. Openbroca takes the same idea system-wide on macOS: speak, and your words are turned into polished writing and inserted into whatever app is focused — editors, browsers, chat, the terminal — with talk-to-translate into 28 languages along the way. Free to start on macOS 15 or later. See what Openbroca does or compare it against Apple Dictation.
Voice as a first-class input on your Mac
Take these tools further. Openbroca turns your speech into polished writing in any Mac app — with talk-to-translate, Screen Context, and Smart Format. Free to start on macOS 15 or later.
