Test microphone input and record a short clip
The practical guide
See whether the browser is receiving useful microphone input.
The live meter, waveform, peak level, device label, and optional test clip are created with browser media APIs.
Record a short clip
Playback helps reveal clipping, hum, echo, noise suppression, or the wrong selected microphone.
Real browser format
The clip uses WebM or OGG when supported. The tool does not pretend to create MP3.
Privacy by architecture
Your microphone audio stays in your browser.
Audio tracks stop when you stop the test or leave the route. Clips are saved only when you choose Download.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Is microphone audio uploaded?
No. Metering, waveform drawing, recording, and playback happen locally.
Why is there no input?
Check browser permission, operating-system input settings, mute switches, and whether another app has the device.
Can I choose another microphone?
Yes when the browser reveals multiple audio inputs after permission.
