Speech to Text — Complete Guide & Instructions

MakeCard Speech to Text turns your microphone into a voice-typing tool supporting 10 languages — Hindi, English (India and US), Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Urdu. Tap the mic, speak naturally, and watch the transcript build with live interim results and continuous recognition. Copy the finished text straight into any document or chat.

How to Use Speech to Text

  1. 1 Choose your language from the Language dropdown — e.g. Hindi (India) or English (US).
  2. 2 Tap the round mic button and allow microphone permission.
  3. 3 Speak clearly; the transcript appears as you talk, including live interim words.
  4. 4 Tap the button again to stop, then use "Copy" to take the transcript or "Clear" to start over.

Practical Everyday Use Cases

  • Dictating Hindi or regional-language messages without a transliteration keyboard.
  • Drafting emails and notes hands-free.
  • Transcribing quick voice memos into text.
  • Writing long paragraphs faster than typing.
  • Accessibility — text input for users who cannot type comfortably.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Use Chrome or Edge — other browsers lack the speech recognition engine this tool needs.
  • Speak at a steady pace in a quiet room; background noise is the biggest accuracy killer.
  • Pick the exact language variant — Hindi (India) vs English (India) — before you start.
  • Punctuation is not auto-added in most languages; say short sentences and add punctuation while editing.

Common Problems & Solutions

Your browser lacks the Web Speech API — open the page in Chrome or Edge to dictate.

Microphone permission was denied — allow it in the browser's site settings and retry.

The engine auto-restarts on silence but very long pauses can end a session — tap the mic again to continue; your text is preserved.

Privacy & Security

100% Client-Side Execution

Recognition runs through your browser's own speech engine — the transcript is generated locally and never sent to or stored on MakeCard's servers.
