Mike (ID: 00000089f699fc48) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 I never leave reviews but today I felt compelled to do so. I added the ext, and I've copied and pasted my first dictation....flawless. Had no trouble with any type of punctuation including commas, colons, and semicolons. "Let's go ahead and write a little bit here in this email and determine whether or not this application works effectively and efficiently and fluently. Wow, not one mistake. So if we continue to articulate complex words and sentences and punctuation, will I stumble into an error? And let's go ahead and finish one of these with a : That worked very well can we insert a, perfect. What if I wanted to go ahead and add a; good job again. There's absolutely no argument that this extension is very useful" I didn't have to correct anything.....Im sold

Adnan Mahmood (ID: 0000002d6a5496ea) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/28/2023 It's good and like other extensions, I hope it will improve with time. Some deficiencies, like begin new sentence, punctuation, but to be honest, it is out of the scope of this extension at the moment. It's just for voice recognition. I believe, AI integration will improve it .
