Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn't speech recognition working?
A: This feature requires a compatible browser (Chrome works best) and microphone permissions. Make sure your microphone is connected and the browser has permission to access it.

Q: How accurate is the transcription?
A: Accuracy depends on your microphone quality, background noise, and speaking clarity. The Web Speech API typically achieves 90-95% accuracy in quiet environments with clear speech.
