 Did you know that Google Docs includes a free speak-to-text feature? To use 
 it, you must be on a Chrome browser. Voice typing also supports over 100 
 different languages or dialects. You can even use voice commands to do some 
 basic formatting of your text 
 or (in certain languages) to add punctuation. 
  
 With the free Apple dictation feature, your spoken words can become text. 
 This 
 tool is available for Apple devices. You can also use your voice to format 
 the 
 text as you go. Plus, if you select the Enhanced dictation option, you'll be 
 able to use 
 dictation even if you're not connected to the internet. Also, with the 
 Enhanced dictation option, you can speak for longer periods of time. Learn 
 more about this Apple feature in our short video and tutorial: 
  
 Windows (7 or later) also has free device-based speech recognition software 
 available. To turn this feature on, go to your Windows Control Panel and 
 click 
 the Settings icon. Click on the Ease of Access settings, the click the 
 Speech 
 menu option. Make 
 sure that the toggle button for Speech Recognition is turned on. Press the 
 Windows key + H to start using the dictation app. Once the tool is turned 
 on, 
 use your voice to "type" and format your document. 
  
 Here's a premium AI-based personal assistant app that includes voice 
 recognition features. In fact, you can convert speech to text in over 100 
 different languages. Braina can also answer questions, search for 
 information 
 online, check the weather, and 
 more. They've got an active forum where you can discuss questions with other 
 users. Although this is premium software, a free lite version with more 
 limited features is also available. 
  
 This free online dictation app works with a Chrome operating system. You 
 don't 
 need to download it onto your equipment. It was created specifically to 
 replace typing, so if you spend large parts of your day typing, this could 
 be 
 the speech recognition 
 tool you need. Because it's free, Speechnotes has ads. Also be aware that 
 any 
 documents you create need to be copied to your machine since Speechnotes 
 won't 
 save them. 
  
 If you've got an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you're probably already familiar with 
 Apple's personal assistant software app. In fact, you already have it free 
 with your device. What most people don't realize is that Siri can also be 
 used 
 as a voice dictation 
 app for shorter messages or emails. For example, I was able to create a 
 short 
 note using Siri. So, if you send a lot of email or text messages, Siri could 
 be helpful. Learn more about Siri in these tutorial guides: 
  
 Here's another inexpensive transcription tool that gives you the capability 
 for hands-free recording and text conversion. You can use it on an iPhone, 
 iPad, or even an Apple Watch. This can be a handy way to get those 
 all-important notes if you've got 
 nothing on hand but your Apple Watch. 
  
 Medical dictation is easier than ever in the digital era. Improvements in 
 speech recognition software have fueled a growing list of professional 
 software and free medical dictation apps that can help clinicians streamline 
 documentation. 
  
 However, if you insist on using free dictation software, there are options. 
 The best free dictation apps integrate directly with a word processing 
 solution like Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Because of the high accuracy of 
 voice recognition as a whole, 
 these software are solid options for turning your spoken words into text. 
  
 The downside is that voice typing is only available in Google Docs and 
 Slides. 
 You also need to use the Chrome browser to use voice typing. But doctors 
 committed to finding a free medical dictation option could dictate notes 
 into 
 a Google Doc and paste 
 the transcribed text into their EMR.
