What Voice In does
- Voice typing across the web
- The extension types into more than 10,000 websites in 50-plus languages, adding punctuation and automatic formatting as you speak in each text field. Support varies by site design.
- Advanced Mode
- On Plus, a more compatible typing method works on 1,000-plus sites where plain voice typing struggles, such as complex web editors. Advanced Mode is part of the paid tier only.
- Custom voice commands
- Plus users define their own commands and language-switching shortcuts, so a spoken phrase can insert a signature or switch the dictation language. Commands are a Plus feature, not part of Free.
- AI Transforms
- Selected text, and only that text, is sent through Voice In's servers to an AI model for rewriting. The vendor describes its speech engine as AI-powered without naming it.
- Multi-tab dictation
- Plus supports dictation across multiple tabs and a Dictation Box, handy when drafting in one tab while pulling material from another. Both are Plus features and are not part of the free tier.
How Voice In handles your data
Voice In's privacy page says dictated audio and transcribed text are not saved locally or on the server. For logged-in users the service stores settings and voice commands, and for Plus subscribers it keeps account details and transaction history, with no retention periods given. Plus data is stored on Dictanote's servers, and no hosting region is stated. AI Transforms sends only the selected text to an AI model through Voice In's servers. The page does not mention model training, and names no certifications. The speech engine itself is not named, so where audio is recognized is not described.
Where Voice In falls short in practice
- Browser only. Plus works in Chrome and Edge, and nowhere else. Dictation into Word, Slack's desktop app or a code editor is outside what the extension covers.
- Free daily limit. The free plan stops listening after 20 seconds of silence and caps dictation at 60 minutes a day, which interrupts long drafting sessions. Plus removes that daily cap.
- Time-limited lifetime offer. The $149.99 lifetime price is marked as available until November 10, and the FAQ cites $60 a year against $59.99 on the Plus page, so check the checkout price.

Voice In: common questions
Which browsers does Voice In support?
Plus works in Chrome and Edge only. The extension types by voice on more than 10,000 websites, including Gmail, Google Docs, WordPress and Outlook on the web. It does not type into desktop applications, so Word, Slack's desktop app and code editors need a different dictation tool.
How much does Voice In Plus cost?
Plus is $9.99 billed monthly, $59.99 billed yearly or $149.99 as a one-time lifetime payment. The lifetime offer is marked as available until November 10. All plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Plus is licensed per user across any computer where you sign in.
Does Voice In save my dictation?
The privacy page says dictated audio and transcribed text are not saved locally or on the server. It does store settings and voice commands for logged-in users, and account details and transaction history for Plus subscribers, without stating retention periods. The speech engine is not named, so check that before dictating sensitive text.
What are AI Transforms in Voice In?
AI Transforms is a Plus feature that rewrites selected text using an AI model. The vendor says only the selected text is sent, through Voice In's servers. The page does not name the model. Free users do not get it, and the speech engine behind dictation is described as AI-powered but not named.
What are the limits of the Voice In free plan?
Free stops listening after 20 seconds of silence and caps dictation at 60 minutes per day. It supports 50-plus languages, voice typing on popular sites and built-in punctuation commands. Advanced Mode, custom commands, multi-tab dictation and AI Transforms need Plus.
