Hands-Free Writing and Dictation
Speech to Text (STT) converts spoken language into digital text. Students can use this tool to dictate lecture drafts, record notes hands-free, or quickly draft long essays. By bypassing the keyboard, dictation allows ideas to flow naturally and reduces typing strain.
SpeechRecognition under the hood:
The tool utilizes the Web Speech Recognition API (SpeechRecognition and webkitSpeechRecognition). When you tap the microphone, the browser requests permission to access your audio hardware, transcribes the incoming soundwaves into text packets, and renders them in the editor.
The transcription text remains editable, allowing you to manually add punctuation, adjust words, or format layouts before copying the final draft.
