How This Test Works
Your browser asks for microphone permission. Once granted, the tool reads the audio stream and displays the input level in real time. The record button captures 5 seconds of audio so you can play it back and hear exactly what others hear.
Nothing is uploaded — the recording stays in your browser memory until you close or reload the page.
Quick Troubleshooting
- If nothing happens when you press Start, allow microphone access in the browser prompt or site settings.
- If the level bar stays flat, check that the correct input device is selected in your operating system sound settings.
- If the playback is too quiet, increase input gain in system settings. If too loud/distorted, decrease it.
- For cleanest recording, disable browser-level echo cancellation and noise suppression where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The recording stays in your browser memory only. It is erased the moment you reload or close the page, and never leaves your device.
Recorded voices always sound different than how you hear yourself — that is because you normally hear your voice partly through bone conduction. The recording is how others actually hear you.
The browser uses the system default by default. To switch, change the default input in your operating system, or use a browser that exposes mic selection in its site settings.
Your system input gain may be set low, the microphone may be covered, or privacy software may be muting it. Raise the input gain in OS sound settings and check if a physical mute switch is active.
