Hey PH, Dictation, available at , lets you type with your voice in all popular language. There are no apps to install and all you need is Google Chrome and a microphone. Dictation uses the web speech API to magically transcribe your spoken voice in real time. It recognizes voice commands, like New Paragraph or Go to Sleep or Insert Happy Face, to help you do more without the keyboard. All your transcribed text is stored in the local browser and it auto-saves everything in the cache. Dictation: Voice Commands: Languages: FAQ:
Hi Amit, thanks for having further refined this great little gem. It's a lovely tool and I keep promoting it. One question that often my readers ask me when I mention Dictation.io is: how does it stand up to something like Dragon or other pro tools in this niche. Would you be so kind to highlight a few key differences? Many thanks. Yours truly.
fantastic question, also wondering about this.

I think Google Speech Recognition offers better accuracy as they have a much larger voice database to experiment with. The advantage with Dragon is that it offers OS level control allowing you to control the computer with your voice while Dictation is purely for voice transcription.
Hi Amit, Google Speech Recognition wasn't part of the equation until a second ago. Are you tacitly implying that Dictation.io is built in GSR? Thanks

Internally, it uses the Chrome API itself for speech recognition. The voice commands are built on top of that. See
Anyone remember Dragon Speak? My grandfather used to use it (he was very slow at typing) but it never worked well. That was over a decade ago.
WOOOOOOAAAOOOOOO

Πολύ καλή εφαρμογή

Pros:

Πολύ καλή εφαρμογή

Cons:

Πολύ καλή εφαρμογή

I'd rather a chrome extension that worked like Grammarly, in any text box I encounter in chrome.

Pros:

Seems to work as advertised

Cons:

Have to use at dictation.io. Doesn't work with Grammarly, show stopper for me.

I would +1 that 100% good idea but very buggy from initial testing and not actually seeing any result on speaking, do you plan a C/E or Grammarly addon?
I love Grammarly. What's your flow with dictation.io? Do you use the app on your phone?

Tamil typing is also good.

Pros:

Very easy to use.can use without installation,particularly useful where you admin blocks installation.Tamil typing is also good.

Cons:

None so far

Amazingly useful product! Very nice UX too.

is a very good application

Pros:

The application helps me a lot to transcribe a text

Cons:

understands the Romanian language hard

Amazing. And very useful. Showing what i speak in the right, but not on the screen. Will give it detailed try

I made a desktop link i would like it to go straight to the program rather than having to click Launch Dictation

Pros:

works great

Cons:

make the desktop link go straight to the program dictation.io/speech
