Microphone, tab, or both
Pick Microphone for your voice, Tab audio for a lecture or web player, or Both to mix them into one take. You keep hearing the tab while it records.
Audio Recorder – Voice Recorder
Record your voice, the sound of a browser tab, or both at once — right from the Chrome toolbar. Pause, trim, and save as MP3, WAV, OGG, or WebM. Your audio stays on your device.
One button, the right source
Features
Pause without new files
Pause and resume as often as you need — the session stays one recording. Alt+Shift+R starts or stops, Alt+Shift+P pauses, even with the popup closed.
Trim in the popup
Drag two handles on the waveform to keep only the part you need. No separate editor, no re-recording a long take because of a slow start.
MP3, WAV, OGG, or WebM
Choose the format that fits the next step: MP3 for sharing, WAV for editing, OGG or WebM for compact files. Quality goes from 64 to 192 kbps.
Cleaner voice takes
Noise suppression and echo cancellation are on by default. Skip silence holds the take while the room is quiet, and a mic volume slider fixes weak input.
Private, local library
Recordings live in your browser storage, not on a server. No account. Rename, play, share, or delete each take, and unfinished takes are recovered after a crash.

Answers before you install
FAQ
What does Audio Recorder – Voice Recorder do?
It records sound in Chrome from your microphone, from the current tab, or from both at the same time, then lets you play, trim, rename, and export each take as MP3, WAV, OGG, or WebM.
Can I record my voice and the tab together?
Yes. Choose Both before you press Record. The microphone and the tab sound are mixed into a single recording.
Where are my recordings stored?
In your browser's local storage on this computer. Nothing is uploaded. Files leave your device only when you download or share them.
Is there a time limit?
There is no fixed cap. Length is limited by available disk space. You can set an optional auto-stop from 1 minute to 3 hours.
Why can't some tabs be recorded?
Chrome does not allow capture on its own internal pages, such as settings or the Web Store. Open a regular website and try again.
Do I need to keep the popup open?
No. Recording continues after the popup closes. Use the toolbar icon or the keyboard shortcuts to pause or stop.
