The reverse audio challenge

Record yourself saying or singing a phrase, reverse it, then try to imitate the reversed sound — and reverse your imitation. If you got it right, the original phrase comes back (more or less!). The reversal happens sample by sample in your browser, so it’s exact and instant.

Want it slower or faster too? Use the Audio Speed Changer. Trim the silence first with the Audio Trimmer.

Frequently asked questions

Choose the file and the reversed version plays right away. Download it as WAV.
Can I reverse my voice?
Yes. Click Record your voice, speak, click again to stop, and the recording is reversed immediately.

Can I install Reverse Audio as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Reverse Audio is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
