Questions
About the online dictation
Chrome, Edge and Safari have speech recognition built in. Firefox does not yet; use our Speech to Text tool there instead.
Say "comma", "period" or "full stop", "question mark", "exclamation mark", "colon", "new line" or "new paragraph".
In your browser's own speech service. In Chrome that means Google processes the audio; Oravo never receives it.
No. This page uses your browser's basic recognition. The Oravo app works in every app you type in, adds punctuation automatically, removes fillers and understands accents far better.
