Question 1

How does voice typing work?

Accepted Answer

This tool uses the Web Speech API built into modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari). When you click the microphone, the browser captures audio from your microphone and sends it to your browser's built-in speech recognition engine, which transcribes it to text in real time.

Question 2

Is my voice data private?

Accepted Answer

The speech recognition is handled by your browser's built-in engine. Chrome may send audio to Google servers for processing, but the text output stays in your browser. For fully offline recognition, use Firefox with a local speech engine, or Safari which processes on-device on supported hardware.

Question 3

Which browsers support voice typing?

Accepted Answer

Chrome (desktop and Android), Microsoft Edge, and Safari (iOS 14.5+ and macOS) support the Web Speech API. Firefox has limited support. If the Start button doesn't work, try switching to Chrome or Edge.

Question 4

Can I dictate in different languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select from 20+ languages in the dropdown including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean and more. The recognition quality depends on your browser's language support.
