Speech to text online via browser SpeechRecognition — dictate into a transcript you can copy. Separate from the Text to Speech tool. Note: Chrome may send audio to Google’s recognition service; SortMyFile itself does not upload audio.
TextSpeech recognition is not supported in this browser. Try Chrome or Edge.
Vendor cloud recognition may apply in some browsers; we do not run our own speech-to-text server.

Fix the transcript locally, then copy.
Dictate speech into text with browser speech recognition — Drafts should stay on-device and never leave the laptop. You need a fast text transform or count before pasting into an application.
Speech to Text keeps inputs in your tab. That matters when you are drafting numbers, text, or codes you would rather not paste into an upload-based SaaS form. Vendor cloud recognition may apply in some browsers; we do not run our own speech-to-text server. If a step needs a one-time language pack or WASM library from a CDN, that is asset delivery — not your document contents being sent to SortMyFile for server-side processing. Close the tab when you are done if you want memory cleared.
Dictate speech into text with browser speech recognition. Before you run Speech to Text, keep an original copy of every source file. Spot-check the download on the same device you will use for the portal or email. Large scans and phone photos are limited by browser RAM — if a run stalls, shrink the input first or split the job. SortMyFile browser tools stay free forever with no daily caps.
Dictate speech into text with browser speech recognition — Drafts should stay on-device and never leave the laptop. You need a fast text transform or count before pasting into an application. People reach for Speech to Text when a form, HR desk, or messaging app rejects the current file shape, size, or format and installing desktop software is overkill. Pair it with text-to-speech, word-counter, case-converter when you need a short pipeline (for example compress then OCR, or HEIC to JPG then JPG to PDF). Results are not a substitute for official portal rules — always re-read the receiving site’s instructions before a deadline.
Speech to Text trades convenience for honesty about browser limits. Extremely large files, corrupted inputs, or DRM-protected media can fail. Password-protected PDFs need a password you already know — SortMyFile does not crack encryption. Free use does not require an account; Pro (when checkout ships) is planned to raise limits and reduce ads. Until then, the free tier is enough for most one-off private jobs.
