User reviews

as a person who uses speech to text a lot, let me tell something important. all speech recognition need to be editable live. otherwise they're just useless. what i mean by that is, it should be in a way that, while the app is listening to me and writing the text, i should be able to edit what it recognized instantly without turning it off. just the way google docs works.

THE BEST. I've tried many STT extensions. This one is awesome. Well integrated with the browser, loads text into the page when it can, easy copy button, activates the target after you copy, and TINY 66k! Only thing missing is punctuation/auto-cap. Also missing is instructions how to use "number of alternatives".
