Try your first dictation
Check that speech to text works here, then use it in any text box on the web.
- Click in the box below (your cursor may already be there).
- Press Ctrl + Space and start talking.
- Press Ctrl + Space again to stop. Your words appear with automatic punctuation and capitalization.
It works. Voxtyper types into text boxes on any website: Gmail, Google Docs, ChatGPT, Notion, Slack, LinkedIn, Reddit and more. Click into a box, press Ctrl + Space, and talk.
Good to know
- It types into text boxes on websites. Click into the box first, then press Ctrl + Space. If no box is selected, Voxtyper reminds you to click one.
- It can't type into the browser's address bar, or on browser pages like the new tab page, the extensions page, or settings. Browsers don't let extensions run there.
- On Firefox, the first dictation on each website asks to use your microphone. Tick "Remember this decision", then click Allow.
- Nothing happens? Reload the page (Ctrl + R) and try again. Pages that were already open before you installed Voxtyper need one reload.
- Want a different shortcut? Change it on the Voxtyper settings page, including a single key or a mouse button.
