Frequently asked questions
How does dictation work?
It uses your browser's built-in speech recognition to transcribe your microphone input live.
Which browsers support it?
It works in browsers that implement the Web Speech API, such as Chrome. Support varies elsewhere.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
Recognition is handled by your browser. Note that some browsers, including Chrome, process the audio through their own servers to return the transcript; this tool itself stores nothing.
