Turn your voice into editable text
Speech to Text Dictation lets you talk instead of type. Choose your
language, press Start dictation, allow microphone access, and your words
appear in the text box in real time. When you are done, edit any mistakes
directly, then copy the result or download it as a .txt file.
It is handy for drafting notes, messages, essays and emails hands-free, for capturing ideas quickly, and as an accessibility aid for anyone who finds typing difficult.
Privacy: where the recognition happens
The transcription is done by the Web Speech API built into your browser, the same technology behind your device’s own dictation feature. On Chrome and Safari the browser vendor processes the audio through its speech service; Gera Tools never sees, stores or transmits your audio or text. The transcript exists only in your browser tab until you copy or download it, and disappears when you close the page.
Getting the best accuracy
- Pick the right language from the drop-down before you start.
- Use a decent microphone in a quiet room — background noise is the biggest cause of errors.
- Speak clearly and steadily, and say punctuation words where your browser supports them (for example “comma”, “full stop”).
- The tool auto-restarts listening if the browser pauses it, so long dictations keep going.
Supported in recent Chrome, Edge and Safari. If your browser lacks the Web Speech API, the tool will tell you and you can switch to one that has it.
