I’m actually using it right now, and it’s awesome. I usually use Otter Voice Notes for my dictations. It’s that it takes less time for me to speak than it does for me to type. I love using dictation because it saves me so much time. So these were some of the best Chrome extensions you can use for typing faster.Today, I want to do a quick run-through of a couple dictation extensions for Chrome. I have found Google Docs very useful for voice typing because it gets synced so that you can also have access to it from your mobile phone, if you are working on a piece of content in multiple time blocks, this shall be helpful. You can also choose your language from the available languages and start voice typing. Simply launch Google Docs and create a new document then you can either type the keyboard shortcut (Shift+Command+S), or go to the tools in select ‘Voice typing’. Though there is a Chrome extension available for Google Docs as well, you don’t really need an extension to access it. Most of the extensions in this list won’t be able to do that. The extension is usable for smaller writings, like posting updates on Social Media, or making comments somewhere. I was not able to find Hindi, which is sadly, also not available in VoiceIn Chrome extension as well. Appreciate the developer who has written beta in the title of the Chrome extension so that you do not expect too much.Īnother sad thing is that it does not really support a lot of languages. Either from the icon that appears beside the address bar or by right clicking and then typing on ‘start voice typing’.īut I have found the extension to be a little buggy, if I had to delete a line using my keyboard, it would appear again when I am voice typing the second line.
This one comes pretty close to the VoiceIn Chrome extension by offering voice typing anywhere, even the Microphone icons are same, and surprisingly it also has got 2 ways to activate this extension. Like other Chrome extensions mentioned in this list, once you are done voice typing you can copy the content and paste it into the document where you want to save it. I actually tried typing in Hindi and I have actually tried a couple extensions for this but this one seems to be giving me the most accurate voice typing in Hindi. You can choose your language for voice typing. This Chrome extension opens a Popup window for voice typing, in the window you get tools like editing mode, and other small buttons like going to the next line inserting a comma (,) or a, period (.). It is useful in transcribing long lectures or long videos, so, if you are someone who has to do that, it’s quite a nice app because you can also make edits while you are converting voice into text and once you are done, you can copy the entire thing and paste it into the document or anywhere you want Voice Note II – text to speech The app opens the speech to text website, where you will have to voice type. This Chrome extension is pretty much like the dictation.io by Amit Agarwal.
Unlike the VoiceIn extension, you will not be able to use it everywhere, but one reason you would want to use this, is, the commands, which makes it easier to type completely handsfree, since you can add commas (,) and full stops (.) just by saying them. This extension doesn’t really do much but adds an icon to the Chrome Apps, so that it is easier to launch it.
It is created by Amit Agarwal from Digital Inspiration. 2, by right-clicking in the input field and then selecting ‘start recording’.īut I have assigned a keyboard shortcut to it so that it is easier to enable or disable it.
