Frequently Asked Questions

Does online voice to text work on all browsers?

No. Browser-based speech recognition relies on the Web Speech API, which is currently supported in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. Safari and Firefox do not support it. For a solution that works regardless of browser, native apps like Voice Keyboard Pro run at the system level and work in every macOS application.

Is my voice data private?

When using browser-based voice to text, your audio is sent to Google's servers for processing (in Chrome) or Microsoft's servers (in Edge). The data handling depends on each company's privacy policy. If privacy is a priority, native apps like Voice Keyboard Pro offer an offline mode that processes audio entirely on your device — nothing leaves your Mac.

How accurate is browser speech recognition?

Browser speech recognition typically achieves 85-90% accuracy for clear English speech. It struggles with technical jargon, proper nouns, accents, and background noise. AI-powered alternatives like Voice Keyboard Pro use advanced AI models that reach 99%+ accuracy, even with specialized vocabulary and multiple languages.

What's the difference between browser voice typing and Voice Keyboard Pro?

Browser voice typing is limited to a single browser tab, requires Chrome or Edge, and offers basic accuracy around 85-90%. Voice Keyboard Pro is a native macOS app that works in every application (Slack, Gmail, VS Code, etc.), achieves 99%+ accuracy using AI transcription, supports voice commands and text snippets, and types text directly at your cursor with sub-500ms speed.
