# Voice In > Speech-to-text extension for typing on websites in Chrome and Edge Voice In is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge that types what you say into text boxes on websites such as Gmail, Google Docs and ChatGPT.

The free version covers common sites with a daily time cap, and Voice In Plus adds Advanced Mode for sites with complex editors, custom voice commands and AI text cleanup. - **Category:** Voice Dictation - **Made by:** Dictanote Inc - **Website:** https://dictanote.co/voicein/ - **Runs on:** Browser extension - **Facts last checked:** Oct 6, 2026 ## Pricing Voice In has a free plan.

The site lists Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook on the web, WhatsApp and ChatGPT among supported sites. - **Advanced Mode:** A Plus feature that inserts text with a different strategy, so dictation works on sites with complex editors such as Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk and HubSpot. - **Custom voice commands:** With Plus, a spoken phrase can insert saved text such as a signature, or run an action such as pressing Tab, switching the dictation language or opening a URL. - **AI Transforms:** Select dictated text and apply the built-in Polish style or one custom prompt of your own. Only the selected text is sent to an AI model, and Dictanote says it is not stored. - **Dictation Box and multi-tab dictation:** Plus adds a small box on the page to dictate into before copying text across, and keeps dictation running when you switch tabs. In the free version it stops on a tab change. - **Transcription by the browser:** Voice In uses the speech-to-text API built into Chrome or Edge. Dictanote states that no audio or transcript is sent to its own servers. ## Good for - People who do most of their writing in web apps inside Chrome or Edge - Dictating into web-based email, help desk and CRM tools - Users who want voice shortcuts for text they type repeatedly ## Worth knowing - It works only inside Chrome and Edge: not in desktop apps such as Word, and not in Firefox, Brave or Vivaldi. - The free version is capped at 60 minutes a day and stops listening after 20 seconds of silence; Advanced Mode and custom voice commands need Plus. - It needs an internet connection and does not work offline. - Dictanote says it has never offered a HIPAA business associate agreement, because speech recognition is done by the browser. ## Works with Gmail, Google Docs, ChatGPT, WhatsApp, Outlook, Salesforce, Zendesk, WordPress **Tags:** Dictation, AI features ## Alternatives - [Dragon Professional](https://toolgpa.com/tools/dragon-professional): Windows speech recognition for dictation and voice commands.
