Dictate Button

Opis

The Dictate Button plugin enables speech-to-text functionality for various form types on your site by adding a dictate button which performs the transcription via the dictate-button.io service.
It allows users to dictate text rather than type it, making your site more accessible and user-friendly.

Please note: This plugin requires an account and site registration on dictate-button.io.

External Services

This plugin performs audio transcription through the Dictate Button API.

When requested by the user, it records the user’s voice and sends the recording to the Dictate Button API for transcription.

Please note that the Dictate Button service is still in Beta, so we may store some of your data temporary,
such as your browser user agent and the voice recording with transcription, for the sake of testing and improving the service.

Currently this service is provided „AS IS” and free of charge (up to certain limits):
