This extension provides continuous speech recognition that helps you create long notes, dictations, essays, posts, and reports. How does speech to text work? In general, the engine breaks your speech down into tiny, recognizable parts called phonemes. In its database, the software then fits the analyzed words with the text that best matches the words you spoke. Machine learning is used to weight the phonemes and to improve matching.

as a person who uses speech to text a lot, let me tell something important. all speech recognition need to be editable live. otherwise they're just useless. what i mean by that is, it should be in a way that, while the app is listening to me and writing the text, i should be able to edit what it recognized instantly without turning it off. just the way google docs works.

writes nothing. All seems fine, it detects the voice as it is obvious on the VU meter, microphone ok, all ok, it just doesn't write. Asks for microphone permissions alright.

As a hearing disability person, this is great feature for me and helped me in many hard time during presentation and it still need some improvement. If possible, can you care to tell us which algorithm\model were used in making the speech to text methond. From you'r description you mention about API, can you kindly provide more details about it. This can be great help. Thank!
