Extension summary

Analyze keywords

An extension that listens to you and copies what you said to the clipboard.

Copy to Clipboard ・ Unlike other “voice typing” extensions, vx only copies what you said to the clipboard. ・ Therefore, it works with all apps that lets you paste text; not just Google Chrome. ・ If the speech recognizer did not get it right, just say the phrase again (more slowly and clearly). ・ This makes it convenient for non-native speakers, not having to press the undo every time. ・ Some early users reported having 2x productivity over conventional voice typing solutions (such as the built-in Dictation that comes with macOS).

Language Support ・ Uses Google’s Web Speech API to do the speech recognition. ・ It supports at least 60 language and 101 dialects.

Bilingual Users Friendly ・ You can set up your “primary language” and “secondary language” and assign hotkeys to each language.

User reviews

Excellent - just pick a global shortcut and voice type into any application, as long as Chrome is running. Too bad is hasn't been updated in a while
