Talk & Write - Voice Recognition Extension for Chrome

'Talk & Write' is a handy Chrome extension designed to enable users to dictate instead of typing. The spoken words are converted into text and entered into a digital notepad. This extension uses the power of your voice to digitize text documents, making data input more efficient and ergonomic. It leverages Google's Web Speech API, ensuring impressive voice recognition capacities. Talk & Write is an ideal solution for multi-taskers, people with mobility issues, or anyone who prefers speaking to typing. A headset or external microphone is recommended for optimal results.

Its helpful and a very good app but we still need undo button so when we clear the words by mistake, we can easily retrieve them back. Thank you.

I think this app is very good and practical. it only works in chrome and edge, so take note that you can use that little pop window there in the background and you can still browse your own favourite internet browser.

Leider kann man nur in diesem Textfeld schreiben und muss den Text dann kopieren und einfügen- auch schreibt es die Satzanfänge4 un d Wörter alle klein. ich konnte auhc keine Funtionen finden bezügl. Satzzeichen- schade, denn die erkennung ist TOP
