Website Worth Sharing: Speechnotes

Sometimes I am asked to provide speech to text tools for students who have difficulty typing. I am a fan of Google Voice Typing which is in the Tools section of Google Docs, but I found a new tool that rivals that and might be a good companion for OW.

Speechnotes (https://speechnotes.co/  ) does a nice job transcribing dictation, but also has a clickable sidebar that allows you to add punctuation as you are dictating. Once done, you can click the Enter key and then click on the Speaker button on the lower right to have it read back to you. The copy button  next to the speaker allows you to quickly copy the text so you can paste it elsewhere.

There is also an extension that students can download that may work right in the OW fields. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speechnotes-speech-to-tex/nncconplehmbkbhkgkodmnkfaflopkji/related  I can’t test it so you’ll have to try that out and let me know how it goes.

Here is a video with some instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khktjg7C3jw
