Voice In Chrome extension

Voice In adds voice typing to text fields across the web, including Gmail, Google Docs, and ChatGPT prompts, supporting 50+ languages. It's best for anyone who writes faster by talking than typing. The catch: dictation accuracy depends on your browser's built-in speech recognition, so results vary by microphone and accent.

What Voice In does

Voice In lets you dictate text instead of typing it, working inside Gmail, Google Docs, ChatGPT prompt boxes, and thousands of other websites with text fields. It relies on the browser's speech recognition to convert spoken words into text in real time, and supports dictation in more than 50 languages.

Is Voice In safe?

Voice In needs microphone access to capture your speech, which is central to how it works. It also requests permissions like storage and activeTab to save your settings and interact with the page you're dictating into. As with any dictation tool, avoid speaking sensitive information aloud in shared spaces.

How accurate is Voice In dictation?

Because Voice In uses your browser's built-in speech recognition engine rather than its own proprietary model, accuracy depends on factors like microphone quality, background noise, and accent. It works best for straightforward dictation of emails, notes, and prompts rather than highly technical or specialized vocabulary.
