What is AI Speech to Text & Voice Typing?

Speech to Text (Voice Typing) is a browser-powered technology that converts spoken vocal acoustics into written, editable text in real-time. Whether you are drafting university essays, taking fast meeting minutes, authoring books, or preparing legal correspondence, voice typing allows you to dictate at over 150 words per minute—nearly three times faster than standard keyboard typing.

When voice commands are enabled in English, speaking words like 'period', 'comma', 'question mark', 'new line', or 'new paragraph' automatically inserts the punctuation mark instead of the word.
