Speech to Text

Speech to Text is a small, free Chrome extension built for making quick, presentable notes. Its core action is simple: speak and the extension writes down what you say, or paste unformatted text straight in. From there you can style the note by choosing a background image (including your own upload) or one of the built-in festive backgrounds, pick a font, and print it — useful for greetings, notices, or any occasion where a plain text file will not do.

The tool sits in the browser as an Accessibility-category extension, so it is always one click away rather than a separate app. It is intentionally minimal: there is no account, no cloud dashboard and no long-form transcription workspace. The developer notes the print layout is set for standard A4 paper, and that your printer settings need to allow background images for the design to appear correctly.

Because its feature set is narrow, it is best suited to short, ad-hoc notes and printable cards rather than meeting transcription or lengthy document dictation. Its small install base and 2023 last update mean you should treat it as a simple utility that does one job rather than a platform that is actively growing.
