Ready when you are.

Microphone permission is requested only when you press start. Recognition availability and speech processing depend on your browser, operating system, and chosen language.

Before the first word

Give the recognizer the right starting conditions

Select the closest language setting and use the clearest microphone available. A quiet room, a steady mic distance, and the right locale usually matter more than speaking slowly or unnaturally.

How to use voice typing online

A clear recording matters more than sounding formal. Set the language, press start, and talk as if you were explaining the idea to another person.

01

Choose your language or accent

Pick the recognition setting closest to the language and pronunciation you will use. This gives the browser the right locale before listening begins.

02

Press start and allow the mic

Your browser asks for microphone permission only after you start. Speak at a comfortable pace and watch the first draft appear.

03

Edit while the idea is fresh

Click anywhere in the editor to correct a word, add a detail, or reorganize a sentence. Voice and keyboard can work together.

04

Copy or download the result

Move the finished text to an email, document, note, or message with Copy, or save a plain-text file to your device.

Speak the structure

Voice commands and punctuation

Many speech-recognition services understand common punctuation phrases. Results are controlled by the browser and selected locale, so treat these as phrases to try—not guaranteed commands. Always review important text before sending it.

You say

“Hi Asha comma I'll send the notes today full stop”

You may get

Hi Asha, I'll send the notes today.

Current recognition choices

Eight language and locale choices

Choose from three English locales and five Indian languages. The selection sets the recognition language before listening begins; exact availability and accuracy still depend on your microphone, environment, browser, and speech service.

EN–IN

English (India)

Best starting point for Indian English pronunciation and vocabulary patterns.

EN–US

English (US)

Use for American English pronunciation and punctuation behavior.

EN–GB

English (UK)

Use for British English pronunciation and common spelling patterns.

Indian-language pages include native examples and language-specific guidance. They are labelled public beta because a selectable locale cannot guarantee that every browser or operating-system provider supports recognition on every device.

A cleaner first draft

Six ways to improve voice typing accuracy

  1. 1

    Use the closest locale. Accent selection gives the recognizer a better starting model.

  2. 2

    Reduce competing sound. Fans, music, and nearby conversations make words harder to separate.

  3. 3

    Keep a steady distance. Place the microphone close enough for a clear signal without touching it.

  4. 4

    Speak in phrases. Natural groups of words give the service more context than isolated words.

  5. 5

    Pause between ideas. A brief pause helps separate sentences without breaking your train of thought.

  6. 6

    Edit names manually. Product names, people, and specialist terms often need a quick keyboard correction.

Accuracy and responsibility

A transcript becomes useful during review

Correct important wording before anyone relies on it, and understand the difference between text stored in the page and speech processed by the browser or operating system provider.

Quick fixes

Common voice typing problems

Nothing happens when I press start

Check whether the browser supports speech recognition and whether this site has microphone permission. A recent version of Chrome or Safari is the best first test.

The wrong words keep appearing

Select the closest accent, reduce background noise, move the microphone nearer, and speak in complete phrases. Unusual names are often quickest to fix with the keyboard.

Recognition stops by itself

The browser or its speech service may stop after silence, a network interruption, or a device-level microphone change. Press start again; the new speech is added after the existing draft.

Punctuation is inconsistent

Spoken punctuation behavior varies by browser and locale. Try saying punctuation clearly, then review the draft before you copy or download it.

Useful, everyday drafts

What can you create with voice typing?

First drafts

Talk through an introduction, article section, or personal reflection before editing the structure.

Messages and email

Capture the full thought quickly, then shorten and proofread it for the person receiving it.

Notes and action items

Record decisions or next steps while the meeting, lecture, or conversation is still fresh.

Idea capture

Get a rough concept onto the page without interrupting the way you naturally explain it.
