Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Mansehej, the maker of Tapfree.
I built Tapfree for Chrome because typing on the web, especially on my Chromebook felt really clunky. When you're moving fast, your ideas don't arrive as perfect sentences. They come as fragments, quick reactions, and rough thoughts you need to shape into something coherent.
Most dictation tools don't help much. They transcribe words literally, miss context, butcher names, and leave you fixing formatting by hand. Writing an email, a chat reply, or a document all need very different handling. They also struggle with touch support, failing to provide a well integrated user experience.
What makes Tapfree different is how it understands context. Tapfree uses the webpage context, not just the tab you're in, to produce cleaner, more relevant dictation. It subtly appears itself in the text fields you need it the most, without disrupting your flow.
It also handles the way people actually talk. You say "Could you get some coffee... sorry, tea on the way back?" and Tapfree writes: "Could you get some tea on the way back?". It catches your corrections mid-sentence so you don't have to go back and fix them.
Tapfree also works natively, system-wide on ChromeOS.
If you give it a try, I'd love specific feedback:
How do you feel about the "there when you need it" approach to integrating into the text field?
Any "wow" moments with the context understanding?
What would make it even more useful for you?
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Feedback from this community means the world to a solo builder! 🙏

@mansehej Congratulations on the ChromeOS launch!
Tapfree
@x1ife Thank you! Much appreciated
Interesting one! How does it decide a phrase was a retraction vs me thinking out loud? Did you tune that toward catching every correction?
Tapfree
@artstavenka1 Thank you! It uses an LLM under the hood to understand the semantics of what's being spoken, and then make a decision on if it should be a correction accordingly.
As an example, if I am chatting with someone on Whatsapp, and I say:
'And then she said sorry I shouted at you'
This becomes
'And then she said, "Sorry I shouted at you"'
And does not become
'And then I shouted at you'
solo built chrome extensions reading text fields across every site is exactly the kind of thing that needs tight permission scoping, since youre potentially sitting close to password fields and forms. congrats on the launch, just make sure the extension isnt grabbing more than it needs to

@abdullah_bin_asad Yes absolutely! Tapfree explicitly completely ignores any fields with sensitive information. Additonaly, any context captured elsewhere is ephemeral
Does it support Chromium based browsers like Dia?
Tapfree
@piyush_gupta25 Yes, it does. I'm writing this reply to you using Tapfree on Dia as well!
@mansehej Just installed it, replying back to you using it as well. This is working really well
Tapfree
@piyush_gupta25 That's absolutely amazing to hear! I really appreciate your feedback
Tapfree
@harini_mukesh Similar, but with the difference being that Tapfree is available across all of the websites you use and uses the context of the page to ensure that the dictation is well formatted, and names are spelled correctly.
Similar to how you would have a dictation button in ChatGPT, you would now have a dictation button in Facebook, GMail, etc. with your emails automatically getting formatted for you as an example.
Does this mean I can dictate in linux apps on my Chromebook?
Tapfree
@sp_singh2 Yes! This was my main motivation for building this as well. I started off by wanting to dictate in the @OpenAI Codex CLI when ssh-ing into my VM using the terminal on my Chromebook and Tapfree then evolved to what it is today.
What's the privacy policy like? Do you store the context anywhere?
Tapfree
@aashishk404 Great question! All context used is ephemeral and not stored anywhere. It is not logged, and never will be. It's also opt-in, and Tapfree works in a still-pretty-good dictation mode without it!
