What is DictationBox?

DictationBox is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to provide live speech and command recognition across multiple languages. Simply click the extension icon and begin speaking to have your notes, emails, or documents quickly transcribed. Along with supporting over 100 languages, it also provides configurable auto-text commands, allowing for easy navigation with speech commands like 'next field', and an option to put the microphone between standby and listening modes using 'go to sleep' or 'wake up' commands.
