These aren't automatic speech-to-text software — they're the tools that make manual transcription easier. Slow Down Audio plays back an interview or lecture at a slower speed without dropping the pitch, so mumbled words are easier to catch, Voice Recorder captures a clean voice memo to transcribe later, and PDF Text Extractor pulls selectable text out of a scanned transcript or handout instead of retyping it.
Audio and documents stay on your device the whole time — a recording or transcript is processed locally in the browser tab, not streamed to a transcription service, which matters for an interview under research ethics or an unreleased recording. No account, no per-minute fee, no upload queue.
