Voice Dictation or Speech to Text possible for Firefox?

Post by versich_makler81 »

Hello dear Forums Members,

at first, please don´t be harsh, if my grammar isn´t perfect, I´m German.
I have always used Firefox.
On the basis of a Job change, I must now do very long texts by e-mail or also write much in word.
An online dictation app such as chrome itself, as well as on various pages, e.g. speechtexter.com or
dictation.io I find in Firefox, unfortunately not. There is only this page here Https://speech-to-text-demo.mybluemix.net/
but texts only in english language, and the more bad than good. Pages as dictation.io work in chrome or chromium derivatives very good, only in a few words there needs to be a time after correction in the text.

For me, i don´t like the Operation and UI of Chrome, I have the Centbrowser, also on chromium based, installed, where Sites as dictation.io also work, but this does have such a good UI and Addons as Firefox, I also like to prefer the Firefox for further use.

Here are my questions :
Are there sites where it works in Firefox?
Here at least it does not look like that is possible : Https://galigio.org/2015/10/11/speechtotext/

Is there via addon/plug-in a way that such sites such as dictation.io work then?
Although I have found something here : Https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/01/firef ... peech api/
but i don´t understand how and if i can use this in Firefox.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Look at PocketSphinx and see if it will serve your purposes.

From what the site and other info provide it's a standalone.
