About Voice Typing

Voice Typing turns your speech into text as you talk — press start, dictate, and watch your words appear live in the editor. It uses your browser’s built-in speech recognition (the Web Speech API), so recognition happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Pick your dictation language, then speak naturally; interim words appear as you talk and settle into final text. Say “comma,” “period,” “question mark” or “new line” to add punctuation as you go. The transcript box is a real editor too — you can type, correct and rearrange text alongside your dictation.

When you are done, copy the text to your clipboard or download it as a .txt file; a live word counter tracks your progress. The tool is free, but note that it depends on the browser: it works best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and some browsers do not support speech recognition at all.

How to use Voice Typing

  1. Choose your dictation language.
  2. Click “Start dictation” and allow microphone access when your browser asks.
  3. Speak naturally — say “comma,” “period,” “question mark” or “new line” for punctuation.
  4. Edit the transcript directly in the text box; you can type and dictate in the same document.
  5. Click Stop, then copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

Yes. The transcript area is an ordinary editable text box, so you can click anywhere, correct a word or retype a sentence, and keep dictating — dictated text and typed text mix freely.
