User reviews
Talk & Write is a user-friendly, free Chrome extension praised for effective speech-to-text functionality across many languages and helpful for writers, songwriters, and students. Users appreciate its time-saving capabilities and ease of use. However, common issues include the absence of automatic punctuation, the need to reselect language upon each launch, lack of an undo feature, outputting text in a separate window requiring manual transfer, and occasional reliability concerns during extended use.
