Voice dictation lets you speak instead of typing when your browser or device supports it.
Where you can use dictation
You can use voice dictation in:
Look for the microphone button near the message box or source text field.
Dictate text
Select the microphone
Click the microphone button.
Allow microphone access
If your browser or device asks for permission, allow microphone access.
Speak clearly
Babbily listens and adds the transcript to the text field.
Review before sending
Check the text before you send a chat message or use a translation.
Tips for better dictation
- Use a quiet environment when possible.
- Speak in complete phrases.
- Review names, numbers, and technical terms before sending.
- In Translate, choose the source language when auto-detect is not enough.
Troubleshooting
If dictation does not start:
- Check microphone permission for your browser or app.
- Make sure another app is not using your microphone.
- Try refreshing Babbily.
- Type or paste text if your current browser does not support voice input.
Review dictated text before sending it. Microphone transcription can misunderstand names, numbers, accents, or specialized terms.
