User reviews

Users find DictationBox highly effective and easy to use for voice dictation with good accuracy and compatibility across websites. Many appreciate its efficiency and voice command support. However, common issues include the lack of automatic capitalization, no built-in punctuation voice commands, some spacing problems, and the absence of grammar checks. Additionally, changing language settings is considered inconvenient as it requires extra navigation.
