Dictation

Dictation (speech to text) assistive technology helps individuals convert spoken words into written text, making communication and accessibility easier. These tools are especially beneficial for those who have difficulty typing/writing, or those who prefer to speak instead of write.

  • Word Q (Speech to text) - use speech recognition to speak straight into your text.
  • Dragon Dictation - instantly and accurately dictate, edit, and format documents.
  • Outlook Dictate - dictation lets you use speech to text to author content in Office with a microphone and reliable internet connection. Use your voice to quickly create documents, emails, notes, presentations, or even slide notes.
  • Speech Notes - take notes with your voice for free, or automatically transcribe audio and video recordings.
  • Otter Ai - live, shareable transcripts.
  • Trint - turn audio & video into a transcript you can easily edit.
