Recording begins only after your action
Start recording asks the browser for microphone permission. If access is allowed, the page records audio with the browser’s MediaRecorder implementation. Pause excludes the paused interval from the reported duration; resume continues the same recording. Stop closes the microphone stream and creates a local preview and downloadable audio file.
The browser chooses the supported audio container
Gypes prefers Opus audio in WebM where supported, then tries other browser-supported formats. The quality selection requests a target audio bit rate, but the browser and device can choose a different rate. A downloaded file may therefore be WebM, OGG, or M4A depending on the current browser.
Audio remains local to the page
The recording is assembled into a temporary object URL in this tab and is not intentionally sent to Gypes. Clearing the tool, reloading, or closing the page revokes the preview. Download the file before leaving if you need to keep it, and obtain consent before recording other people.
Browser recording is not guaranteed to be uninterrupted, archival, lossless, admissible, or suitable for emergency, medical, legal, journalistic, security, or evidentiary use. Device sleep, permission changes, low storage, tab closure, or a browser failure can lose the recording.
