Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 23 of the 46 other voice dictation apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Speechlogger, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It needs Chrome and a microphone, and the vendor itself points people who want a dictation notepad to its sister product Speechnotes.

A 2.8 GPA, above 23 of 46

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free to use, with minute packs from $5 for 50 minutes against a category where paid plans start near $7 a month; ads show in the free version. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Dictation is free outright with ads, but translation starts with 1,000 free characters and then needs paid credit. |
| Features | C | Dictation, punctuation, timestamps, SRT and Word export and translation, but the vendor itself points to Speechnotes for an editing notepad. |
| Ease of use | B | Open it in Chrome, allow the microphone and talk, with nothing to install. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only and Chrome only, with Google Drive as its one listed integration. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Occasional dictation or captioning without installing anything
- Generating .srt caption files from your own speech
Worth knowing
