What is Base64 encoding and what is it used for?

Base64 is an encoding scheme that converts binary data into a string of ASCII characters using 64 printable characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9, +, /). It is used to safely transmit binary data — such as images or files — over systems that only handle text, like email (MIME), JSON APIs, CSS data URIs, and HTML inline images. Base64 increases data size by approximately 33%.

What are the different text case types?

Common text case types include: UPPERCASE (all capitals), lowercase (all small), Title Case (First Letter Of Each Word Capitalised), Sentence case (Only the first letter of the sentence), camelCase (firstWordLowerThenUppercase — used in JavaScript), PascalCase (AllWordsCapitalised — used in C# and class names), snake_case (words_separated_by_underscores — used in Python and databases), and kebab-case (words-separated-by-hyphens — used in URLs and CSS).

Morse code is a communication method that encodes letters and numbers as sequences of short signals (dots, ·) and long signals (dashes, −). It was invented in the 1830s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for telegraphy. Each letter has a unique pattern: A = ·−, B = −···, S = ···, O = −−−, SOS = ···−−−···. The Morse Code Converter encodes and decodes text to/from Morse, and includes audio playback.

How do I convert text to binary?

Each character in text has an ASCII code (a number 0–127). That number is then converted to 8-bit binary. For example: "A" → ASCII 65 → binary 01000001; "a" → ASCII 97 → 01100001; space → ASCII 32 → 00100000. The Text to Binary Converter handles this automatically — paste any text to get the binary output, or paste binary to decode it back to text.

What is a URL slug and why does it matter for SEO?

A URL slug is the part of a URL after the domain that identifies a specific page — for example, in "texterfly.com/text-conversion-tools/text-to-slug", the slug is "text-to-slug". Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens (not underscores or spaces), exclude stop words (a, the, and), and include the primary keyword. Search engines and users both read slugs to understand what a page is about, making clean slugs an important on-page SEO factor.

What is the difference between encoding and encryption?

Encoding (like Base64 or binary) transforms data into a different format for compatibility or transmission — it is reversible and has no security intent. Anyone can decode it without a key. Encryption (like AES or RSA) transforms data to make it unreadable without a secret key — it is designed specifically for security. Base64 encoding is not a security measure and should never be used as a substitute for encryption.

How does the Text to Emoji converter work?

The Text to Emoji converter uses keyword matching to replace common words and concepts with relevant emojis. For example, words like "love", "fire", "happy", "sun", or "star" are matched to ❤️, 🔥, 😊, ☀️, or ⭐. You can also set custom mappings to control which words map to which emojis.

Can I convert text to handwriting as a PDF?

Yes. The Text to Handwriting converter automatically paginates long text across multiple pages and exports all pages as a single PDF with one click. You can also download individual pages as PNG or JPEG images.

What delimiters does the Text to CSV converter support?

The Text to CSV converter supports comma (,), semicolon (;), tab ( ), pipe (|), and space as delimiters. You can also enter a custom delimiter. The output can be downloaded as standard CSV or TSV (tab-separated values), or copied directly to clipboard for pasting into Excel or Google Sheets.

Are these text conversion tools free?

Yes. All 11 text conversion tools on Texterfly are 100% free with no registration, subscription, or payment required.

Free Speech to Text — No Download, No Sign-Up

Typing is slow. This tool uses the speech recognition engine already built into your browser to turn your voice into text in real time, right on this page — no app to install, no account to create. Just tap the microphone, start talking, and watch your words appear. When you're done, edit anything that came out wrong, then copy or download the finished transcript.

Tips for Better Transcription Accuracy

🎙️ Use a decent microphone

Built-in laptop mics work, but a headset or external mic picks up your voice more clearly and rejects background noise better.

🗣️ Speak at a natural pace

Talking too fast or too slow both hurt accuracy — a normal conversational pace with clear enunciation works best.

🔇 Reduce background noise

Fans, music, and other voices in the room are the most common cause of misrecognized words.

🗨️ Say your punctuation

Say "period," "comma," or "new line" out loud where you want them — turn on voice punctuation commands in the settings panel.

Browser Support

This tool relies on the Web Speech API, which isn't supported identically everywhere. Chrome and Edge on desktop offer the most reliable, continuous recognition. Safari on macOS supports it with some limitations. Firefox does not currently implement this API at all. If the microphone button doesn't respond, try switching browsers before assuming something's wrong with your microphone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this speech to text tool free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no download, and no limit on how much you dictate.

Does my audio get sent to Texterfly's servers?

No. This tool uses your browser's own built-in speech recognition engine rather than a server Texterfly runs. Texterfly never receives or stores your audio or transcript.

Does my audio leave my device at all?

That depends on your browser. Some browsers process speech using an on-device engine, while others (including Chrome, in most configurations) send audio to their own cloud speech service for processing. Check your browser vendor's privacy policy if this matters for your use case.

Which browsers support speech to text?

Chrome and Edge on desktop have the most reliable support. Safari supports it on macOS with some limitations. Firefox does not currently support the Web Speech API used by this tool.

Can I add punctuation by voice?

Yes. Say words like "period," "comma," "question mark," or "new line" and they'll be converted into the matching punctuation automatically, when voice commands are turned on.
