Use Voice Recognition to fill out forms and dictate email with speech to text. Control the Internet with custom voice commands!
Control the Internet with your voice. Use voice recognition to fill out forms and write documents on the Internet! Dictate emails with speech to text!
Speech Recognition Anywhere expands the capabilities of the Web Speech API in both Chrome and Edge, in order to allow users to control the Internet or to fill out documents and forms using their voice. A user can use simple voice commands to go to websites or to click on buttons and links. It also works with Google Docs, Microsoft Word online, Gmail, outlook.com and more. Medical professionals use it to fill out web based online medical records. Business professionals use it dictate letters and emails. Custom commands can be created by the user to allow the user to say shortcut phrases that print out a lot of text into a form.

NOTE: Extensions are not allowed to work on special chrome:// pages or edge:// pages or the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-Ons website. Therefore, you will not be able to write a review directly at the Chrome Web Store using your voice. This is a restriction imposed by the browser. It is not a limitation of the extension.
TIP: If speech recognition is not working on a specific webpage then you can try (1) refresh the web page or (2) restart your computer. This will often fix the problem.

This extension uses the Web Speech API built into some browsers (such as Google's Web Speech API or Microsoft Edge's Web Speech API) for speech recognition, therefore we cannot guarantee the quality or continued operation of the voice recognition service.

Latest reviews
- (2024-03-03) Marc Hankin: I have been using using Speech Recognition Anywhere ("SRA") since November of 2022, instead of my Dragon Naturally Speaking ("DNS") program license, because of SRA's low draw on system resources and memory. ... and I am very pleased with it thus far. It seems fast and it works in Google Docs, which DNS doesn't do, unless you're willing to use the cumbersome Speech Box utility. If I am able to train SRA to spell my name and various other things correctly, I think I'll be a very happy camper. The price for SRA is very low for the value. The developer is very helpful when you need help, and updates the program to address problems and suggestions. I think he deserves every penny he gets.
- (2024-01-22) Wind: Its great. But in rare cases it transcribes System Audio. A youtube video could be playing. Or I could be talking to some people on discord. And it will actually listen for that instead of my microphone. Just a heads up to the dev. great extension as always. ( Update. The speaker is my headphone. The mic is a desk mic. So in my case cause is system related. And not a case of audio transmitting through the air into the mic. Because the speakers are headphones and enclosed. Test it regardless and am certain the app is picking up system audio .
- (2023-12-19) Patrick Do: Alors il n'est pas évident à manipuler, mais nettement supérieur à naturally speaking de nuance et nettement moins cher. Après presque un an d'utilisation, je peux dire quelque chose de simple Jeff Baker, vous êtes le meilleur, bravo.
- (2023-11-09) Brittany Kunza: I LOVE this extension. I am always impressed by how accurate it is. One thing I truly wish was an option (and it might be and maybe I am just missing it in the settings) if there was a keyboard shortcut that could both start AND stop the dictation quickly. I am familiar with opening the tab with option + s but not familiar with a keyboard shortcut to disable dictation.
- (2023-09-21) Brian F: This is a phenomenal speech to word application. Starting off I had to make some corrections, but as time has gone on, unless it's an unusual word, I have minimal to zero corrections, including punctuation. And with the price, it makes it 5 stars.
- (2023-08-16) 钱志伟: it's a great tool. it can help me learn english in listening.
- (2023-08-07) Anne Steinhoff: Einfach genial!!! Spart eine menge Zeit! Danke
- (2023-07-27) Frédéric HAUGUEL: PAYING
- (2023-07-06) Andrea Rebaudi: Ottima sintesi ma appena finita la sintesi ti apre 300 pop-up di nuove schermate nuova email
- (2023-07-06) Glenn Muz: love it. better than win 10 for me.
- (2023-07-05) SivaMani Krishna: Hello, sir. I'm a student working on developing a voice assistant similar to the provided extension. However, I've encountered some difficulties during the process. Would you be able to assist me in completing my project?
- (2023-07-04) Rohan Dodake: I am currently working on a mini project for my college, and I came across your project handfree website for controlling browser during my research. I found it to be a great reference for my own project, and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to share the source code with me.
- (2023-06-21) Dr. Sérgio Feitosa - Pediatra: Paguei pela funcionalidade e, mesmo após seguir todos oa passos do suporte, simplesmente NÃO funciona.
- (2023-04-23) Michael Cordon: Didn't work for Bing Chat, which is a deal-breaker for me. Maybe one of the paid settings could fix it?
- (2023-04-07) Fabio Quinci: Exceptional extension, Jeff always kind and helpful, he helped me and helps me every time I need a personalized command. I use it for work and the performance raises me in an excellent way. UPDATE: I want to reiterate again how great this extension is and above all how great Jeff is, another problem had arisen and he promptly fixed me with a new update. Recommended to everyone, in no uncertain terms crazy extension!
- (2023-04-06) Advance Algo: namaste sir its awsome extension. i mail you please reply
- (2023-03-23) John 5: Can you make a smooth integration with Chat GPT 3 and version 4? That is the next BIG thing. If you want to amp your user base. Make that happen. Please sir. Thanks. Note: it works. However perhaps you could make it better some how.
- (2023-02-27) Rose Lamothe: This is a fantastic extension, I'm sure I'll figure how it works soon! Just kidding, I'm using it mostly to transcribe and translate foreign language videos and with its integrated sound compression it captures everything easily and extremely well. I bought the pro version recently and I am perfectly satisfied, great investment, great product.
- (2023-02-17) Cory Sakai: It didn't do what I wanted, but it's still pretty amazing. This is a fantastic extension that is incredible if you need to control your browsing by voice and don't have keyboard or mouse use. The only thing that messes it up is if you start clicking somewhere else or in another tab, because then it gets lost and you can't control anything. Really I just wanted to be able to click on forms on a page and be able to enter text from speech in the text box, but this won't do that. Still I give it a 5 for all the other amazing features. Hopefully in the future it might become a little more context reactive and adaptive to clicking somewhere else. I don't think there is anything else like this out there.
- (2023-02-08) Gino Côté (onigetoc): Pas de bouton pour l'arrêter ??? Je pense que c'est une chose minime à ajouter. No button to stop it??? I think it's miniminal thing to add.
- (2023-01-30) Игорь Бутыленков: Отлично, нет конкурентов.
- (2023-01-19) Cyrus Bonnet: Super easy, no real set up, super affordable. Accurate translation for the most part. rarely have to correct it. Mostly learning or knowing how to speak is my problem. Microsoft speech recognition sucks. This works 10x better. and all the other programs are expensive and complicated.
- (2023-01-13) matriks hitung: _/\_, it's working in bahasa at least with few sample just trying :)
- (2023-01-11) Patricia Hirsch: Bei mir geht leider der Befehl: *Komma* nicht, es wird immer ausgeschrieben,das ist nervig zum korrigieren. Alles andere funktioniert gut Sehr schnelle Lösung,vielen Dank dafür
- (2023-01-09) Anna White: This is world class. Dictation is highly accurate, customizable, and ready to go out of box or customize for a great experience. This app prevented me from going on disability leave at work when I lost movement in both of my arms. It is a miracle if you learn how to use it correctly. It saved my arms from further damage. everyone should experiment with it! excellent documentation and developer is very active with support and updates as well!
- (2022-12-19) Lynn Ling: not user friendly, cannot auto detect a spoken language.
- (2022-12-16) Matt Dubois: This extension is great - the recognition is very fast and impressively accurate. I've never had better results than these even from programs like Dragon. The built in commands and ability to create your commands are very robust as well. All in all a very useful tool even for the free version, and an excellent value for the full version.
- (2022-11-14) Bob Simmons: Was super impressed with the speed! unfortunately it didn't work within Outreach.io which is where I would primarily use it. I have a feeling it has to do more with outreach than it does with this product as I've had other issues with outreach and voice to text software.
- (2022-10-10) mariarene alfaro: esta muy linda pero sus reseñas no son muy buenas de todo
- (2022-10-09) Patrick Marin: Au début de l'interface m'a semblé vieillotte à l'usage elle parfaitement fonctionnelle. Je recommande vivement ce produit en version payante. Dommage qu'il n' y ait pas une version life.
- (2022-10-03) Chris Hallmark: Absolutely fantastic extension! Extremely easy to use and very customizable. And if you choose to do the paid option, it's totally worth it.
- (2022-09-29) The Morning Motivation (Joshua Busby): I paid for the advance features a couple of years ago and it has worked GREAT. Now it no longer works. I am disabled and I depend on this extension every day. If you are unable to fix it I request a refund so I can get something that will meet my needs. Thanks.
- (2022-09-29) CrazyBill7: Unfortunately the program has stopped I press it and it doesn't work and it is very useful for me because I am a disabled quadriplegic complete disabled hands and feet

- (2022-03-04) Fert Lefter: Hi, looked promising but despite no indication at all in description that this is a fremium package.. As soon as I started to test use; I see a big FREE TRIAL! Why is it this way.. Also the app gives an error "Error: OAuth2 not granted or revoked." despite I gave the Permissions: Read your browsing history Read and modify data you copy and paste Know your email address What else do you need?? Also, your support page explains the above OAuth2 prob. as: Sign in with your Google account. Make sure Sync is on. Click on the extension icon and click on "Settings" scroll down to License and click on "Check"... and on and on.. WHAT SİGN İN? WHAT SYNC? ALL I wanted to use this is to dictate using TinyMCE.. What is all this fuss??! I am using many extensions and trying many many.. Never seen all this hassle!!
