How do I convert speech to text?
Choose the language you'll speak and press Start listening. Allow the microphone when your browser asks, speak clearly, then press Stop. The text appears in the box, where you can edit, copy or download it. It works best in a quiet place. Review the text before using it.
Which browsers work?
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on computers and Android, and recent Safari. Firefox doesn't support speech recognition. If your browser doesn't, the tool tells you, so you can switch to Chrome or Edge instead. On iPhone, recent Safari supports it, so no extra app is needed there.
Is my voice sent to a server?
Not to ours. But Chrome and Edge send the audio to their makers' speech services to turn it into text, which is how the recognition works. So don't dictate anything confidential, such as passwords, bank details or private medical information. Type sensitive details by hand.
Does it understand Hindi?
Yes. Choose Hindi from the language list before you start. Accuracy depends on your microphone, accent, background noise and the browser's service. Speaking at a steady pace, in full sentences, usually gives the best Hindi results. The text appears in Devanagari, ready to copy. Try a short test first.
Why did it stop on its own?
Browsers end a session after a period of silence or a time limit. Press Start listening again; your text stays in the box and new speech is added. For long dictation, pause briefly between paragraphs rather than going silent for long. Your text is kept.
How accurate is it?
Usually good for clear speech in a quiet room, and less so with background noise, fast speech or many names and technical terms. Always read the text before using it, especially numbers, names and addresses, which are easily misheard. Check numbers twice. Names and amounts need extra care.
Can I dictate punctuation?
Support varies by browser and language. Some services add basic punctuation automatically; others need you to add it afterwards. Editing the text in the box after dictating is the most reliable way to get punctuation right. A quick read-through fixes most punctuation in seconds. Editing is quick.
Can I dictate in Hinglish?
Choose the language you speak most in the sentence. Mixed Hindi and English may be written in one script, and some words may be misheard. Short sentences in one language at a time give cleaner results. Edit any misheard words afterwards in the text box.
Why does it ask for microphone permission?
The browser needs your permission to use the microphone, and it asks the first time. If you denied it, allow the microphone in your browser's site settings and reload the page. The microphone is only used while listening. You can revoke it any time. It's a one-time step.
Can I use it for WhatsApp messages?
Yes. Dictate the message here, check and edit it, then copy and paste it into WhatsApp. For quick messages, your phone keyboard's voice typing does a similar job; this tool is handy for longer text you want to edit first. Editing first avoids embarrassing typos.
Can I download the text?
Yes. Download it as a text file, or copy it to your clipboard. The text stays in the box until you clear it or close the page, so you can keep dictating and editing in one place. The file is plain text, easy to open anywhere.
Does Marketiism have voice typing?
Yes. Marketiism includes voice typing on some screens, such as creating bills, for people who'd rather speak than type. This free tool is separate and works for any text you want to dictate. Voice typing helps staff who find typing slow or who are more comfortable speaking.
Does it work offline?
Generally no, because Chrome and Edge use online speech services for recognition. You need an internet connection while dictating. The text you already have stays in the box if the connection drops. Reconnect and press Start listening to continue. A stable mobile data connection is usually enough.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome on Android and recent Safari on iPhone. Hold the phone close to your mouth, speak clearly and edit the text afterwards. It's often faster than typing long messages. No app is needed, though the browser must support speech recognition. Phones often dictate very accurately.
Is it free?
Yes. Speech to text is free, with no sign-up and no limit. It's part of the free text tools from Marketiism, alongside text to speech and the word counter. Nothing is added to your text, there's no daily limit, and you can use it for business and client work.
Want this inside your own account?
Marketiism keeps your invoice numbers, GST reports, UPI payment links and WhatsApp reminders in one place. Leave your details and we'll call to set it up for your business, or start the trial yourself.
