Which browsers support this?

Chrome, Edge and Safari implement the Web Speech API. Firefox currently does not.

Is my voice sent to a server?

Recognition is performed by your browser's built-in engine; Coders Hub never receives your audio or transcript.

Why does it stop listening?

Browsers pause recognition during silence — the tool restarts it automatically while dictation is on.

Can I transcribe an audio file?

No, this tool listens to your microphone live. Play the recording aloud near the mic as a workaround.

How do I add punctuation?

Keep auto-punctuation on, or say punctuation names like 'comma' and 'question mark' in supported languages.
