Dictation is a free online speech recognition tool that converts spoken words into text in real time using Google's speech recognition engine. It operates entirely within Google Chrome and stores transcribed text locally in your browser without uploading data to external servers. Users can add paragraphs, punctuation marks, and emojis through voice commands, and the tool supports 50+ languages. The interface requires only a Chrome browser, microphone access, and internet connection to function across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.
