Review Summary
Users find TalkaType to be a simple, accurate, and useful dictation tool supporting multiple languages and preferred over some similar apps due to its privacy and ease of use. However, it faces browser compatibility issues, notably with Brave, Opera GX, and sometimes Chrome, along with limitations in punctuation handling and text editing on certain sites. Users appreciate its straightforward design and functional keyboard shortcuts but hope for improved punctuation recognition and broader browser support.
Pros
- Simple and functional interface, easy to use and install.
- Works accurately in multiple languages including English and other main languages.
- Effective for dictation in various platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gmail, etc.
- Good alternative to similar apps like 'Voice In - Speech-To-Text Dictation' without opening extra tabs.
- Developed in Europe with a focus on user privacy; appreciated by users for security and simplicity.
Cons
- Inconsistent support across browsers: does not work properly with Brave and Opera GX browsers, and some users report it doesn’t work on Google Chrome itself.
- Issues with punctuation: dictating punctuation doesn’t work reliably, autopunctuation has issues with spacing between sentences.
- Some bugs related to microphone usage and speech recognition not being supported or recognized.
- Limited options and customization in the extension compared to more mature products.
- Text editing limitations on certain social platforms (like Twitter/X) where dictated text can’t be modified without refreshing the page.
