Why built-in dictation is not enough
Google Docs voice typing only works inside its own tab, and Word dictation never leaves the Word window. Switch to email or a chat and you are back to typing by hand. On top of that, built-in engines forget your corrections, so you fix the same name every single day. blablaType removes both limits: dictate anywhere and every correction sticks.
Types where your cursor is
Google Docs voice to text, dictation in Word, email and messengers. Open a document, hold F9, talk, and the text appears by itself.
Learns your corrections
Fix a name or a term once and blablaType never trips on it again. Your personal dictionary grows with your writing.
Edits by voice
Tell it what to do: fix a word, make a sentence shorter, drop a paragraph. Your hands stay on the desk.
Punctuation and translation
Commas and periods land on their own. Hold F8, speak your language, and English appears in the document. Say "Okay Safi" and dictation starts with no keyboard at all.
How to start dictating in Word and Docs
- Download blablaType for Windows and sign in: 7 days of Premium free, no card needed.
- Open your document in Word or Google Docs and click where the text should go.
- Hold F9 and talk. Release the key and the punctuated text is already at your cursor.
- Correct a word by voice or by hand once: the app remembers it from then on.
