Dictate a Document in Chrome

No one wants to type in long emails or documents. If you wish you can simply dictate the document in your chrome browser using online service dictation.io . 

Getting started with Dictation in simple. Simply open http://dictation.io in a chrome browser tab.

Just plug in the microphone to your computer, click the Start Dictation button and watch as your spoken words are magically transformed into text. You can also use a few voice commands like:

Say “new sentence” to begin a new sentence. Dictation will automatically add a period to the previous sentence and capitalizes the first letter of your new sentence.

Say “new paragraph” to move the cursor to the next paragraph.

Say “stop listening” to exit the dictation mode. If you wish to resume recording, hit the “Start” button again.
