Top 10 Gmail Chrome Extensions for 2025 Productivity

User reviews

Users generally appreciate the extension for its ease of use and effective speech recognition within Gmail, enabling faster email composition. However, recurring issues include lack of proper punctuation recognition, microphone access problems, and occasional malfunctioning or failure to respond, especially on newer systems. Many users desire better support for voice commands and improved handling of pauses to reduce manual post-editing. Despite its flaws, long-term users find it very helpful, urging developers to fix persistent bugs and enhance punctuation capabilities.

Pros

Works well for many users as a quick way to compose emails in Gmail.
Good transcription accuracy for general speech recognition.
Easy to use and integrates seamlessly with Gmail interface.
Supports multiple languages and works on different operating systems such as Windows and macOS.
Saves significant time and effort in email composition, appreciated by long-term users.

Cons

Does not recognize or transcribe punctuation commands such as periods, commas, new lines, and question marks, requiring manual corrections.
Frequently stops working or becomes unresponsive, especially after updates or on newer OS versions like Windows 11.
Microphone access issues or the microphone icon sometimes not appearing within Gmail.
Insertion of unwanted periods when pausing speech, leading to more manual editing.
Limited or no support for voice commands to format text (like 'new line' or 'paragraph').

I've been using this since 2020 . I am so thankful. It works seamlessly, and so well that I forgot it was an extension until I realized a coworker who hurt his wrist needed it.
