freesabaiScreen, voice and camera recorder
Voice recorder
Record your voice from the microphone right in the browser. Watch the level while you speak, pause and carry on, listen before you save, then download a WAV, M4A or WebM file. Works on computers and phones, and your sound is not sent anywhere.
This tool needs JavaScript. If you still see this note after a few seconds, the browser has JavaScript switched off or the page did not load fully. Switch JavaScript on or reload the page.

How to use
- Choose the file type (M4A opens almost everywhere; WAV is full quality but large), then press "Record". The browser asks whether to allow the microphone: choose "Allow".
- Speak. The level bar moves, and the clock counts time and file size. Press "Pause" to rest and "Resume" to carry on in the same file.
- Press "Stop and listen". The microphone is switched off at once (its status light goes out), and you can play the recording in the player below.
- If you like it, press "Download": the file called freesabai-voice-date-time is in your downloads folder. If not, press "Record again".
Nothing leaves your device
The recording stays in your browser. It is not uploaded to freesabai's server or anyone else's, it is not saved anywhere until you press Download, and it is gone when you close the page. We ask for the microphone only when you press Record, and switch it off as soon as you stop or leave the page (the microphone's status light goes out). The website only counts how many times this page is opened and how many times a result is saved (it never sends a file name, size or content, and you can switch the counting off at the foot of the page; see the privacy policy).
Good to know
- Which file types you can choose depends on the browser. Chrome and Edge usually offer both WebM (Opus) and M4A (AAC); Firefox gives WebM or OGG (Opus); Safari gives M4A. Every browser can do WAV. The text under the list says what opens each kind of file.
- WAV is raw, uncompressed sound: about 5.5 MB per minute for mono at 48 kHz (twice that for stereo), good for sound you will edit. A WAV file can be at most 4 GB (about an hour and a half of mono). This tool writes the WAV itself in the browser, with no library.
- A long recording takes memory. The tool keeps the sound in pieces of one second and warns you as the file grows (about 150 MB on a phone, 600 MB on a computer). Chrome and Edge on a computer have a "Save to a file while recording" option that writes straight to disk, so you can record as long as the disk has room.
- If you close or reload the page while recording, what has not been saved is lost. The browser asks before it leaves the page.
- Echo cancelling, noise reduction and automatic volume are on by default: they suit speech. To record music or untouched sound, switch all three off under Sound options.
- If the browser does not ask, or says it is blocked, click the lock icon beside the address and allow the microphone. On an iPhone the recording stops if you switch to another app or lock the screen, so keep this page open while you record.
- The WebM files this makes play in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and VLC. The tool adds the length of the recording to the file, so players can show how long it is and let you skip around.
