No command heard yet.

Voice not working?

Use voice in one tab at a time. Close or reload other stopwatch or voice-enabled pages first; an older page may keep listening in the background.

Check Microphone permission in your browser’s site settings and your device’s microphone settings. If you are using an in-app browser, open this same page directly in Chrome and try again. Recognition also depends on the browser’s speech service and connection. Manual timing always works.

Keep this tab visible while using voice. Your browser provider may process microphone audio. This tool does not save recordings or transcripts; the last phrase is shown only on this page.

Every lap, accounted for.

Your first lap starts here. Press Lap while the stopwatch is running.

How to use Lap

A lap records a checkpoint without stopping the stopwatch. Use it for running laps, exercise rounds or practice attempts.

  1. Click Start, or say “Start” with voice enabled.
  2. Finish a round, then click Lap or say “Lap”. The stopwatch keeps running.
  3. Record another lap after each round. Click Pause or say “Stop” when finished.

Split is the time for that round. Total is the accumulated stopwatch time at that checkpoint. Paused time is excluded.

Example: Your first round takes 30 seconds and your second takes 25 seconds. Lap 2 shows a 25-second split and a 55-second total.

Lap is available only while timing is running. Use Export CSV to save your recorded laps before Reset clears the session.

Free to use anywhere

Paste the link into a message, a lesson plan or a Notion page, or the embed code into any site that accepts HTML (WordPress, Google Sites, Canvas, Moodle). Embedded stopwatchs show a small VoiceStopwatch credit. Voice control inside an embed needs the host page to allow the microphone.

MAKE IT YOURS

Measure every round.

Start the stopwatch with the green button. Record a lap at each checkpoint, pause when finished, and export the results as a CSV file. Enable voice only when you want hands-free control.

A lap marks a checkpoint while the clock keeps running. Split is the duration of that round; Total is the accumulated time at that checkpoint. Paused time is excluded.

Questions about voice activated stopwatch

Can I use the stopwatch without a microphone?

Yes. Start, pause, reset, lap and export all work with buttons. Voice control is optional.

Which spoken commands work?

Enable voice, wait for Listening, then say Start, Pause, Resume, Lap or Time. Say Reset followed by Confirm reset to clear the session.

Does it work in a noisy gym?

Turn on Clap control. One clap starts the stopwatch or records a lap; two quick claps pause it. Claps are detected as sharp sounds well above the room noise, so music and talking do not trigger them. Voice commands and buttons keep working.

What happens if I close the page?

Recent timer sessions and preferences are stored in this browser when storage is available. Recovery uses your device’s clock. Private browsing, cleared storage and device sleep can affect recovery. Keep the page open and test audio before relying on alerts.

Also try: voice activated timer — count down to a finish line instead of timing laps; Tabata timer — spoken work and rest rounds for workouts; talking timer — hear the remaining time announced aloud.
