Enables speech (voice) recognition and its conversion into text, with the insertion of this text into the page's text elements
"Voice Master" is free Chrome browser extension that provides speech recognition (voice recognition), converting spoken words into text. This text can be automatically inserted into any text fields on web pages or into a special dictation window, allowing for direct communication with AI platforms such as Claude and chatGPT using your voice. Additionally, the extension offers text correction features powered by AI ChatGPT (to correct punctuation, format, lexical), although a paid key is required to activate this service. This tool is ideal for anyone looking to enhance productivity by reducing the time spent on typing and optimizing workflow.
➤ Installation and Setup
Install the "Voice Master" extension as you would any other Chrome extension. After installation, you will see a microphone icon, which we recommend dragging onto the toolbar for quicker access.
➤ Usage
- Activate Voice Input: In the pop-up window, switch the toggle to "on," and click on the microphone icon.
- Language Selection: Choose your desired input language, whether it be English or any other available language.
- Field Selection: Select the input field on the web page where you wish to leave your text – it could be a shop-site search bar, YouTube comment section, Facebook post textarea, WordPress TinyMCE text editor, or any other text field.
- Dictation text area: Click on the special button "Dictate window," start speaking, and "Voice Master" will transcribe your speech into text. Use it to verbalize your thoughts.
- Voice Input Deactivation: Once done speaking, click on the microphone icon again to stop the process, or use the hotkey CTRL+SHIFT+Y.
➤ Editing with chatGPT (to correct punctuation)
If your text requires refinement, take advantage of the integrated AI chatGPT 3.5 turbo (paid API):
- Highlight the text and click the button on the toolbar to improve stylistics "Fix spelling and styling by chatGPT."
- The first time you use it, you will be asked to enter a key for the GPT API, which will be saved for subsequent use.
- The AI will edit and return the text, and you simply confirm to replace the original text.
!! With a budget of 5 dollars, using the GPT-3.5-turbo model priced at $0.002 per 1000 tokens, you can process approximately 2,500,000 tokens. This translates to around 1,923,077 words, considering an average of 1.3 tokens per English word. Therefore, with this budget, you will be able to make corrections to a substantial amount of English text. No intermediaries, no additional service fees, you pay only for what you use directly with OpenAI!!
➤ Functionality Disclaimer
1) Limitations of Speech Recognition APIs: Although speech recognition technologies have significantly improved, they still may struggle with accurately identifying punctuation. This is because punctuation marks are not spoken as words, and must be inferred from intonation, pauses, and the rhythm of speech, which can be challenging for algorithms.
2) Complexity of Speech Models: Human speech can be unpredictable and varied. People may speak quickly, merge words, use regional features, or articulate sounds unclearly. All these factors pose challenges for the speech recognition system in accurately recognizing and applying punctuation.
3) Need for Contextual Understanding: Punctuation often depends on the context of a sentence or even a paragraph. AI, such as ChatGPT, is trained to understand large volumes of text and can better determine the need for commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation points based on context.
Brief Explanation for Inclusion in Texts: "To enhance the accuracy of punctuation in texts recognized by Speech-to-Text technologies, we apply additional correction using AI ChatGPT. This allows for consideration of the context and nuances of human speech, ensuring high precision in text formatting."
Notes:
- chatGPT does not work for the YouTube comments section
- Maximum text length for chatGPT correction is 4000 symbols.
