Latest reviews

  • (2024-04-18) Marius Codrin: >> Permission to use the microphone is blocked! >> Please reload the app and try again. but it doesn't ask for permissions like other sites or extensions, and it is not an app, but it says "restart the app" - what app?
  • (2024-02-20) Alan Shepherd: Picks up my voice reasonably well but the lack of punctuation makes it useless.
  • (2024-02-15) Holistic Helpline: it works great... saves a lot of typing....
  • (2024-01-09) John Weiss: Keeps timing out and turning itself off. That's very inconvenient.
  • (2023-12-10) Reawakening Helpline: One of the best extensions to work with really really convenient.
  • (2023-10-28) Developer Brainbox: Not working, Micrphone keep disabled after clicking on it.
  • (2023-10-08) Yuka Sidharta: Not working
  • (2023-10-04) Angus Davidson: The program deletes what you've said when you clicked on the mic symbol!
  • (2023-10-03) Amanuel Eshetu: no punctuation and the font size if off by 0.5 for some reason
  • (2023-08-24) Asad Dastgir: Not working
  • (2023-08-08) Anon Saejiw: support many laguages but should have option to detect and change any text into customized word or should be option to add your own word to dictionary
  • (2023-08-07) David Heller: I'm writing this in 2023 and from reading the older reviews it seems that it used to add punctuation for example if said "period" it looks like, in the past it would actually place period at the end of a sentence .. now it doesn't do that or add paragraphs. The output is just a long string of words with no punctuation which makes the tool completely useless. Good try Google, but no awards for this newer iteration ... If I were Google I'd pull it off and not make it available again until it works. This is an embarrassment, and not good for your (Googles) image. `
  • (2023-08-01) Johannes Teunissen: didnt work
  • (2023-07-21) Panos Karopoulos: Excellent recognition for Greek, easy to use
  • (2023-07-03) Risto: I'm learning Latin which it doesn't support and so I'm going to remove it from chrome.
  • (2023-06-28) Sushi Ballads: yeah pretty good just wish it wasn't just a text box and actually put into the search bar
  • (2023-05-18) CatCitizen Citizen: It Works, but sadly, it appears this cannot speech to text into any field in chrome. It opens its own floating text window, which you need to copy paste the results, into other windows. Which basically defeats the purpose of using this in a web Browser. Example wanting to use this in ChatGPT. And this extension appears to simply not be designed to accomplish this..
  • (2023-05-18) Andrei K: Not working
  • (2023-05-12) Roman Hutterer: Installed, testet. Works like expected!!! Very nice tool
  • (2023-04-03) Zeta Joe: did not work
  • (2023-03-17) Arianna: I used to love this and it worked perfectly.. Now it put the word instead of punctuation (periods, commas,etc) I'm sooo frustrated! Change it back!
  • (2023-03-07) Arturo bittar: a probar
  • (2023-02-21) PJ From PJBuilt: It worked great until recently period it used to change punctuation prompts to actual punctuations symbols comma but now as you can see here comma it not adds those prompts as actual words period so it makes it awfully difficult to dictate without having to go back and doing some strenuous editing comma which defeats the entire purpose period
  • (2023-02-11) Johanna May: No punctuation.
  • (2023-01-25) Philip Buonomo: Used to be great, now not so much. I've used this plugin with great success for almost a year but recently it started ignoring punctuation like "period" and "comma". This makes the plugin useless for me now. I submitted a bug report but that has been ignored.
  • (2023-01-12) Kevin Marr: I love this extension it's one of the best extensions that I've ever come across in my whole life it makes my work so much easier I find it's extremely accurate but recently it has stopped doing punctuation which I find very frustrating but other than that this is awesome extension
  • (2023-01-10) Lorenz Weissel: Inaccurate, clunky, and doesn't detect punctuation. Steaming hot pile of garbage.
  • (2022-11-23) Trevor Green: Extreme low end accuracy. Punctuations are a mess. This save me negative time as I have to go back and fix the entire block of text.
  • (2022-11-02) Lazar Adamovic: Garbage. Does not work for me
  • (2022-11-01) Liqi Liang: Audio captures are accurate but the program needs a lot of improvements, There is no way to scroll down easily. When I am at multiscreen and put the window of the extension on the side or just make it small, it will stop scrolling down when the text box display is full. large space is wasted at the bottom portion of the extension displaying instructions too. update: TOTAL TRASH ON MAC. Won't work!!!!
  • (2022-10-13) azule parakeet: piece of garbage if you cant erase what you type because it keeps putting it back no matter how many times you erase it
  • (2022-09-16) Snacktime Productions: Garbage don't even work
  • (2022-09-06) Trisha: Yess!! A simple, straightforward interface with highly accurate TTS results... TTS is then auto-highlighted so pasting anywhere is a breeze! Plus that it supports MANY languages-- it is also accurate in transcribing non native speakers. I would love enhancements, such as integrated function for 'backspace' 'delete' and 'spellcheck, but this extension is worthy of 5 stars completely as is!
  • (2022-07-11) Martin madsen: I'm really dyslexic and I love this program is so nice to use not like all of the other programs for dyslexic people It's easy to use and free Would recommend to dyslexic friends PS I use a studio microphone with this program. So your mileage may vary
  • (2022-04-28) Mark Zanetti: I wish I could use the extension to dictate this review. It doesn't work as a Vivaldi Browser extension. However, it worked with Chrome to dictate voice to text directly into Google Keep docs and also Google Documents. So thats a good thing. There is a delay (for me) but not too bad.
  • (2022-04-03) Lheo Clarenze: I like how it has a lot of language
  • (2022-03-17) Lukas Borg: very good. got good grades
  • (2022-03-07) Chan Kim: Simple enough to use. Very good for students who are struggling with penmenship/dyslexia. The highlighted existing text deleting when you start recording again is fairly annoying and would change. No complaints other than that!
  • (2022-03-07) Jeffrey Wylie: I said shawarma and it thought I said a** warmer. Other than that really useful, especially if you've got an injured finger. Would recommend.
  • (2022-03-07) Abdo M.Y.: Can only type in its own window and doesn't support Arabic language.
  • (2022-02-26) Ryan Olu: Not sure why people are hating on this extension, especially since there aren't too many other choices out there and the extension works great. I like it. So far, so good, anyway.
  • (2022-02-10) Maharani: DOZENS THANKS CHROME! :*
  • (2022-01-29) Andrew Martinello: This extension helped me complete some long form writing assignments in a timely manner. However, it did cause MAJOR levels of frustration by deleting the existing text if I clicked on the microphone symbol to start listening again. More than a dozen times I lost large portions of writing as I was deep in thought, would place the cursor where I wanted to add a line or two only to have the whole thing wiped out because I forgot about this drawback. PLEASE FIX THIS.
  • (2022-01-25) Đức Thắng 36 Nguyễn: This plugin is better than voice in voice typing plugin. Although, this plugin need some improvement. I noticed the following issues in this plugin: 1- when I move cursor somewhere between the text and try to to type at that place, the text appears at the end of text instead of at the cursor . 2- There is no drag and drop drag and drop functionality in the speech to text window. moreover, when clicking and selecting the text the whole words is not selected. 3- upon repeating the voice it should correct the text.
  • (2022-01-22) David: I couldn't make it work at all. I speak fairly standard UK English but it seems to not understand anything. It would be a huge time waster. I would spend more time correcting what it misheard, than it would have taken me to just type it in the first place.
  • (2021-12-11) Andrej Ristic: just works as it was intended. perfectly.
  • (2021-12-01) Reza Orang: Hi Does not recognize sound well There is no sweet Persian language So it's not practical for me Thank You
  • (2021-08-14) Oscar Castillo: It doesn't have perfect voice recognition as some people claim. In addition, it stops voice recognition after about three to four minutes.
  • (2021-07-30) Naga: Need to copy and paste text created in another window.
  • (2021-07-26) CN MG: I would give it a zero if I could. what a waste of time
