User reviews
User reviews of the Voice Typing Chrome extension are mixed. Positive feedback highlights extensive language support, useful accessibility features, and high voice recognition accuracy improving typing efficiency. However, many users report significant issues like the extension failing to transcribe, broken punctuation, an unfriendly user interface, forced third-party sign-ins for a paid trial, and poor customer support. Frequent malfunctions and the need to copy-paste instead of direct dictation reduce usability, causing frustration among users, especially those who paid for premium versions expecting better service.
Pros
- Supports over 100 languages, including less common ones, providing versatility for a wide range of users.
- Facilitates efficient voice-to-text input, enhancing typing speed, especially beneficial for foreign language typing.
- Includes additional features like text-to-speech, word expansions, and speech translation, adding value to communication and content creation.
- Accessible and useful for individuals with disabilities, improving digital communication and inclusivity.
- Generally accurate voice recognition with fast response times, exceeding user expectations in some languages.
Cons
- The extension often does not work properly, failing to transcribe voice input or causing loading issues after browser updates.
- Requires users to log in via third-party accounts and is limited to a trial period before demanding payment, contrary to some claims of being free.
- Interface design is bulky and not intuitive; users cannot dictate directly into web forms, needing to copy-paste instead, which reduces usability.
- Frequent bugs like unwanted inserted letters (e.g., 'u' after punctuation), malfunctioning punctuation commands, and mandatory redirects to external web pages diminish user experience.
- Poor customer support with lack of responses related to payment and functionality issues, frustrating paid users.
