Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
Is my audio saved or recorded?
No. Imgira does not record or store your audio. The Web Speech API in your browser handles recognition and may send audio to your browser vendor's speech service; check your browser vendor's privacy policy for details.
Which browsers are supported?
The Speech to Text tool works best in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers that fully support the Web Speech API.
Can I transcribe in other languages?
Yes, you can select from a wide range of supported languages in the tool settings before starting your recording.
Does editing or processing the image reduce its native resolution or quality?
No. The processing pipeline renders transformations against the image's native pixel matrix, ensuring the exported file preserves 100% of the original resolution and color clarity.
