SpeechTexter

SpeechTexter lets people type by speaking, straight from a web browser with nothing to install. The United States tool works in over 70 languages and is meant for writing notes, documents, reports and blog posts by voice.

What SpeechTexter offers

• Real-time dictation — speech appears as text while the user talks.
• Formatting options — automatic capital letters, full stops and paragraph handling.
• Browser autosave — work is kept in the browser cache between sessions.
• Voice commands — users set their own spoken commands for punctuation, common phrases, undo or a new paragraph.
• Plain text copy and paste — moves text in and out without formatting.
• Help pages — advice on microphone permission and network problems, and on transcribing recorded audio or video.

Who it works with

The company says students, teachers, writers and bloggers use it every day, including people who struggle to type with a keyboard.
