Voicly - Free Voice to Text

Speak instead of type. Stay in the tab you’re already in. Voicly is a free Chrome side panel for voice-to-text, light notes and tasks, page tools, and a simple focus view. Install it, open a normal webpage, click the mic (or press Alt+Shift+V), and your words land in the field you were typing. No Voicly account. Nothing to unlock before you dictate. ──────────────── What you can do ──────────────── DICTATE • Speak into Gmail, Docs, Notion, ChatGPT, forms, and most editable fields • Side panel mic, floating page widget, or Alt+Shift+V • Smart format for cleaner sentences • Clear Ready / Recording status • Multiple languages (including English US/UK, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, and more) CAPTURE WITHOUT LEAVING THE PAGE • Notes: title + body, search, edit, all stored in this browser • Highlight text → add to a note or read it aloud • Right-click image, video, or audio → save media into a note • Tasks under Focus: add, complete, filter Open / Done / All STAY ORGANIZED • Marks: your Chrome bookmarks, reachable from the side panel • Focus: dictations, notes, tasks, site-time snapshot, and Pomodoro sessions • Audio: mute (with restore), volume up to 200% boost where the site allows, and a simple equalizer • Optional site limits and a PIN lock when you want notes and settings private ──────────────── Why people use it ──────────────── • Write emails and tickets faster by talking • Capture ideas the moment they show up on a page • Keep a tiny checklist next to the work, not in another app • Prefer free speech-to-text without installing a heavy desktop suite first ──────────────── Privacy, plainly ──────────────── • Notes, tasks, and settings stay in this browser (chrome.storage) • Voicly does not run a cloud inbox for your transcripts • Dictation uses the browser Web Speech API. Recognition is handled by Chrome / your OS, not by a Voicly speech server • If analytics run, they are anonymous event names only, never note text, task text, or audio ──────────────── How to start (30 seconds) ──────────────── 1. Pin Voicly and open the side panel 2. Click into a text field on any http/https page 3. Press Alt+Shift+V or tap Start dictating 4. Pause, and text appears at the caret 5. Use Notes, Focus → Tasks, Marks, or Audio when you need them Tip: leave the page widget on if you hop between tabs all day. ──────────────── Limits (honest) ──────────────── • Works best on normal websites with real text fields. Some locked apps, iframes, and chrome:// pages block injection • Boost above 100% needs Web Audio; some sites (including YouTube) only allow normal volume • Dictation needs the browser’s speech stack (online or OS-dependent). Notes and tasks still work offline once saved ──────────────── Want the full desk? ──────────────── This extension stays light on purpose: free dictation and browser productivity. Voicly Desktop adds local Whisper dictation, Snip (capture + annotate), Meeting transcripts, system-wide paste, and a deeper Focus board: https://www.humnod.com/products/voicly Extension = free, in Chrome. Desktop = full local productivity desk. ──────────────── Support ──────────────── Email: admin@humnod.com Privacy: https://www.humnod.com/products/voicly/privacy Terms: https://www.humnod.com/products/voicly/terms
