Speech recognition isn’t available here

Your browser doesn’t support the Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition). It works best in the latest Chrome or Edge on desktop and Android. Firefox and some other browsers don’t ship it yet.

🔒 Honest note: HeroTools never sees or stores your audio or text — but speech recognition itself is done by your browser/OS built-in speech service (e.g. Chrome may process audio on Google’s servers). If you need fully offline dictation, use your OS’s native dictation feature.

Tips for better accuracy

Speak clearly at a normal pace, pick the exact locale you speak (e.g. English — India vs English — US), and use a headset mic if you can. Recognition pauses on silence — with auto-restart on, it picks back up automatically so long dictation sessions keep flowing.
