About the Microphone Test
Before a call or recording, make sure the right microphone is picked up and loud enough. Allow microphone access when your browser asks, then talk: the meter should move into the green and the waveform should follow your voice.
Use 'Record 5 seconds' to hear exactly what others hear, including background noise and echo.

Frequently asked questions
The meter doesn't move. What's wrong?
Check the right microphone is selected, that it isn't muted (some headsets have a mute switch), and that Windows privacy settings allow apps to use the microphone.
Is the Microphone Test free?
Yes. The Microphone Test is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the Microphone Test is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Microphone Test works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
