About

Dictation.io is a free browser-based speech-to-text tool that turns your voice into written notes using Google's speech recognition — no install, no account required.

Dictation.io is one of the simplest voice-to-text tools available: open the website in Chrome, click the microphone icon, and start talking. Google's speech recognition engine handles the transcription with high accuracy across 100+ languages. Voice commands let you add punctuation, new lines, and even emojis without touching the keyboard. Built-in text-to-speech playback with adjustable speed and pitch lets you review your notes by listening back. The text stays in your browser's local storage between sessions — nothing is uploaded to external servers. Multiple export options: save as .txt file, copy to clipboard, publish online, share via email or Twitter, or print directly. With ~14,500 daily unique visitors and a speed score of 98, it's a reliable workhorse for quick voice notes. The tradeoff: it's a single-purpose tool with no formatting, no organization, and no account system. But for pure voice-to-text capture — especially in non-English languages — it's hard to beat the simplicity and zero-friction experience. Made in India by Digital Inspiration.
