Best for free speech to text in a Chrome tab
Speechlogger turns speech into text in Chrome, with punctuation, timestamps, caption export and translation, and it is free with ads. It needs Chrome and a microphone, and the vendor itself points people who want a dictation notepad to its sister product Speechnotes.
Who Speechlogger is for
- Fits if you want free dictation and captions in a browser tab
- Works for people who need an SRT file from a recording now and then
Who Speechlogger is not for
- Not for you if you use Safari or Firefox, as it needs Chrome
- Watch out: the free version shows ads, and the ad-free token's price could not be read
- Too light for heavy editing, as the vendor points to Speechnotes for a dictation notepad
- Watch out: the minute packs page does not say which feature uses the minutes

Keep Speechlogger, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Speechlogger you would be making dictation that types into any app on your computer. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- Dictation that types into any app on your computer.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
What this rests on. Speechlogger’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Speechlogger?
Speechlogger is a web app that turns speech into text in a Chrome browser. It adds automatic punctuation, timestamps, export to text, Word and SRT caption files, and voice-to-voice translation. A sister product, Speechnotes, is the vendor's dedicated dictation notepad.
Worth knowing

Key features
