- Drafting emails and notes hands-free.
- Transcribing quick voice memos into text.
- Writing long paragraphs faster than typing.
- Accessibility — text input for users who cannot type comfortably.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Use Chrome or Edge — other browsers lack the speech recognition engine this tool needs.
- Speak at a steady pace in a quiet room; background noise is the biggest accuracy killer.
- Pick the exact language variant — Hindi (India) vs English (India) — before you start.
- Punctuation is not auto-added in most languages; say short sentences and add punctuation while editing.
Common Problems & Solutions
Your browser lacks the Web Speech API — open the page in Chrome or Edge to dictate.
Microphone permission was denied — allow it in the browser's site settings and retry.
The engine auto-restarts on silence but very long pauses can end a session — tap the mic again to continue; your text is preserved.
Privacy & Security
100% Client-Side Execution
Recognition runs through your browser's own speech engine — the transcript is generated locally and never sent to or stored on MakeCard's servers.
