Japanese Voice Typing

Speak Japanese, get Kana & Kanji text — then copy, export, or share it. Powered by your browser's speech recognition.
Japanese mixes hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Type in rōmaji (English letters) and this tool converts it to kana instantly — switch between hiragana and katakana. You can also use the on-screen kana keyboard, dictate with voice typing, or paste text to count characters, the standard measure for Japanese.
Frequently asked questions
How does Japanese voice typing work?
Click the microphone, allow access, and speak Japanese. Your browser's built-in speech recognition converts speech to Kana & Kanji text, which you can insert into the workspace and export. This is speech-to-text in Japanese — not translation from English.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded to WorldTyping?
No. Voice recognition is handled by your browser/device provider (for example Chrome's speech service). WorldTyping never receives or stores your audio — only the recognized text appears in your workspace, and it stays in your browser.
Which browsers support voice typing?
Chrome and Edge on desktop and Android have the best support, and Safari on iOS/macOS works in recent versions. If your browser doesn't support it, use your phone keyboard's dictation button instead.
