Frequently asked questions
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge and Safari support speech recognition. Firefox currently does not.
Can I dictate punctuation?
Partly – many browsers understand “comma”, “full stop” or “new line” in the chosen language; you can also edit the text afterwards.
Is my audio stored?
We never receive it. The browser's speech service converts it; check your browser's privacy policy for details.
