How it works

The tool is deliberately minimal: it does one thing, live voice-to-text, and does it without clutter. It works in Chrome and other browsers that support the Web Speech API, and it is useful for quick notes, emails, and messages when you would rather speak than type.

Dictation.io is best for short, spontaneous dictation. It will not transcribe recordings, meetings, or long documents, and it has no save or export features beyond copying the text. For a free, zero-setup way to turn speech into text, it is a handy bookmark.
