User reviews

Users appreciate SpeechAgent for its accuracy, responsiveness, simplicity, and free use without delay. It supports multiple languages and integrates well with browsers. However, many users find the lack of punctuation recognition and inability to directly type into webpage text fields limiting. Additionally, the transcription popup can obstruct screen content and lacks position adjustment. The absence of live editable transcription during dictation is also a downside noted by frequent speech-to-text users.
Pros
  • Accurate and responsive speech recognition.
  • Free to use without delays.
  • Simple and easy to use interface.
  • Works well in multiple languages and platforms.
  • Lightweight and well-integrated with the browser.
Cons
  • No punctuation recognition (periods, commas, etc.).
  • Does not type directly into web page text boxes; requires copying and pasting.
  • Popup window for transcription covers the screen and cannot be moved.
  • No live editing of transcribed text as speech is being recognized.

인식 잘하고 무료 딜레이도 없는데 음성인식 팝업창이 화면을 가리네요 위치이동도 안되고. 이 것만 개선하면 좋겠네요

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.
