Features

Everything you need to think out loud

VoiceFlow turns speech into clean, formatted text the moment you start talking — right in your browser, with more on the way.

Type anywhere coming soon

The upcoming desktop app will drop your words wherever your cursor is — any text field, any app, any window. Today, dictate in your browser and copy the text where you need it.

Instant transcription

Words appear as you speak with near-zero lag, so dictation feels like a conversation — not a wait for results to catch up.

Smart punctuation

Commas, periods and paragraphs are added automatically. Say "new line" or "comma" when you want to take control by hand.

Learns your words

Add your own replacements now — names, jargon and acronyms get fixed as you dictate, so transcripts read the way you actually write. Smart vocabulary that learns automatically is coming soon.

Private by design

Audio is used only to transcribe what you say and isn't stored afterward or sold by VoiceFlow. Your transcript stays in your browser unless you're a Pro user who chooses to save it.

Click to start, click to stop

Hit Start dictating to begin, click again to stop — simple control right in the browser. A global hotkey that works system-wide arrives with the desktop app.

How it works

From thought to text in three beats

Nothing to install. Open VoiceFlow in Chrome or Edge and start dictating in seconds.

Click Start dictating

Open the tool in your browser and click the mic. Allow microphone access when prompted, and VoiceFlow starts listening instantly.

Just speak

Talk the way you'd talk to a colleague. VoiceFlow transcribes in real time and punctuates as you go, right into the editable box.

Copy & go

Click the mic again to stop, then Copy your polished text and paste it into email, docs, chat or code — wherever you need it.

Under the hood, VoiceFlow uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API — the same speech-recognition engine that ships in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge — so there is no plugin, account or download required to dictate. Your transcript lands in an editable text box you fully control. New to dictation? Read how to talk to type and the benefits of dictation software. A desktop app for Mac and Windows that types into any application, with a global hotkey, is coming soon; you can see all LK Forge tools while it's in the works.

Is VoiceFlow better than built-in OS dictation?

macOS Dictation and Windows Voice Typing are excellent and can type into native apps, often offline. So why use VoiceFlow? Because it's instant and portable: there's nothing to enable in system settings and nothing to install — open any Chrome or Edge tab, click Start dictating, and you get a clean, editable transcript with a one-click Copy button and a live word count. It's the fastest way to dictate a paragraph and drop it wherever you need it.

The honest trade-off today: the browser version needs an internet connection (the Web Speech engine transcribes in the cloud) and pastes rather than types directly into other apps. The coming-soon desktop app is built to close that gap — typing into any application via a global hotkey. Until it lands, VoiceFlow is the quickest no-install way to turn speech into text in your browser. Need a different tool? Browse the full LK Forge tools collection.

FAQ

VoiceFlow FAQ — accuracy, privacy & pricing

How accurate is the transcription?
VoiceFlow uses your browser's built-in Web Speech engine to transcribe natural, conversational English, adding commas, periods and paragraph breaks automatically as you talk. In a quiet room with a decent microphone, accuracy on everyday speech is high — comparable to the dictation already built into your operating system. Background noise, heavy accents and very technical jargon can lower accuracy, so it helps to speak clearly and review the text before sending. Because the transcript lands in an editable box, you can fix any stray word in a second rather than re-dictating. You can add custom replacements so your own names and acronyms come out right; automatic vocabulary that learns as you go is still on the roadmap. In practice, dictating an email or a first draft of a blog post works well, because those are everyday words spoken at a natural pace. Pausing briefly between sentences also helps the automatic punctuation place periods and paragraph breaks more reliably. For now, the more clearly you speak, the cleaner the result. For more, see our guide to speech to text online.
Which browsers does VoiceFlow work in?
VoiceFlow runs best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on desktop, because those browsers ship the Web Speech API that powers live dictation. It also works in other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave and Opera. Safari and Firefox have limited or no support for the speech-recognition API, so live dictation may not start there — you can still type into the box and use Copy. No extension or download is required: open the page, click Start dictating, allow microphone access when your browser asks, and your words appear as text. If your browser can't run live dictation, VoiceFlow tells you and lets you keep typing manually. A practical tip is to bookmark the page in Chrome or Edge so dictation is one click away whenever you need it. On a phone, support varies by browser, so the desktop experience is the most reliable today. A desktop app for Mac and Windows that types into any app is coming soon. VoiceFlow supports dictation in 100+ languages and regional accents, though exact availability and accuracy depend on your browser. If dictation won't start or cuts out in Chrome, our guide to fixing voice typing not working in Chrome walks through the common causes and fixes.
Does VoiceFlow work offline or on-device?
No. VoiceFlow relies on your browser's Web Speech API, which in Chrome and Edge sends audio to the browser's speech service to be transcribed, so live dictation needs an active internet connection — there is no offline or on-device mode. If you need guaranteed offline transcription, or fully private transcription that keeps audio on your own machine, use your operating system's built-in dictation instead (macOS Dictation or Windows Voice Typing). A practical consequence is that on a flaky connection, such as a train or a busy cafe, dictation can stutter or stop, so VoiceFlow is best used where you have a stable connection. We are transparent about this: today your speech is transcribed by the browser's cloud service, not on your device.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gives you 2,000 dictated words per day in your browser, dictation in 100+ languages, automatic punctuation and formatting, custom replacements, and one-click Copy of your transcript — with no watermark and no time limit. Pro is a one-time $8.99 payment, not a subscription, that removes the daily cap so you get unlimited dictation, plus save and sync of unlimited documents to your account across devices, with a history of everything you save. Pro is a lifetime unlock: pay once and keep it, including new Pro features as they ship. Several Pro features are still in development and clearly labelled Coming soon — the desktop app and priority support. A good way to decide is to start on Free: if 2,000 words a day covers your dictation and you only need to copy the text out, Free is all you need. If you hit the daily cap often, or want your transcript saved, that is when Pro pays for itself.
When is the desktop app coming?
The desktop app for macOS and Windows — the version that lets you dictate into any application with a global hotkey — is in development and is not available yet. Everything on this page that mentions typing into other apps or a global shortcut refers to that upcoming desktop release and is marked Coming soon. What works today is browser-only dictation: speak, get text in the box, copy it where you need it. We are shipping the browser tool first so it is genuinely useful now, then bringing the same engine to the desktop. If you unlock Pro today, the desktop app and other Pro features are included at no extra cost when they launch, because Pro is a one-time lifetime unlock. We have not announced a firm release date yet, so the honest answer is that it is coming but not here; this page will be updated when the desktop build is ready.
Is my voice data private?
VoiceFlow itself does not store your audio or sell it, and it does not use your speech to build advertising profiles. The transcript stays in your browser unless you are a Pro user who chooses Save to account, in which case the text (not the audio) is stored so you can sync it across devices. One important caveat: live dictation is powered by your browser's Web Speech API, so in Chrome and Edge the audio is sent to the browser vendor's speech service to be transcribed — that step is governed by your browser's privacy policy, not ours. A practical takeaway is that if you are dictating something genuinely sensitive, you may prefer your operating system's local dictation instead, since today's browser dictation involves that vendor speech service. For fully local transcription that keeps audio on your own machine, your operating system's built-in dictation is the most private option today. VoiceFlow needs no sign-in either — here's how to use voice to text without a Google account. Read more about how LK Forge handles data on our Privacy Policy.
How does VoiceFlow compare to my built-in OS dictation?
Your operating system's dictation (macOS Dictation or Windows Voice Typing) types directly into native apps and can work offline, which the browser version of VoiceFlow cannot do yet. Where VoiceFlow helps today is convenience and portability: it runs in any Chrome or Edge tab with nothing to install or enable, gives you a clean editable transcript with one-click Copy, and shows you a live word count against your daily limit. It is a fast, friction-free way to dictate a chunk of text and paste it wherever you need it. The upcoming desktop app aims to match the OS tools by typing into any application via a global hotkey — marked Coming soon. For now, think of VoiceFlow as the quickest way to dictate in your browser. Switching from another web tool? See why VoiceFlow makes a solid Speechnotes alternative.
How much does VoiceFlow cost?
VoiceFlow is free to use with everything you need for everyday dictation — 2,000 dictated words a day in your browser, automatic punctuation and one-click Copy, with no time limit and no watermark. There is nothing to download and no card required to start: just open it in your browser, click Start dictating, and your words appear as text. If you want to go further, Pro is a one-time $8.99 payment — not a subscription — that unlocks unlimited dictation and the ability to save and sync unlimited documents to your account. Pro is a lifetime unlock, so you pay once and keep every Pro feature as new ones ship. To put the price in context, $8.99 is roughly the cost of a single month of many subscription dictation apps, except here you pay it just once. There is no auto-renewal and no recurring charge to cancel later. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe.
