Frequentlyaskedquestions

Install it from the Chrome Web Store in one click. Press Add to Chrome, confirm, pin the icon in the bar and you are done. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera.

ApisVoice works on any Chromium-based browser with Web Speech API: Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera. It does not work on Firefox (Web Speech API is not enabled by default) or Safari (it is not a Chromium browser and does not accept Chrome Web Store extensions).

Click the floating microphone on the page or use the Alt+Shift+V shortcut. The icon turns red with a halo while recording. Click again to stop.

It is the browser, not the extension, asking for permission. The Web Speech API needs your browser to have microphone access for any dictation extension to work. ApisDom does not receive the audio; only the browser engine does.

No. ApisVoice does not require signup, login or email. It works as soon as you install it.

It is not stored on any ApisDom server. The audio is transmitted to the browser speech recognition engine (on Chrome, Google servers) and then discarded. ApisDom stores nothing.

No. The text recognized by the browser is inserted directly in the focused field. ApisDom neither receives nor stores the text.

No. No Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no advertising pixels, no tracking cookies.

Only your preferences (selected language, icon position, domains where you hid it, pause settings). They are saved in chrome.storage.local, inside the browser itself, on your machine. They never leave.

On any page with an editable text field. That includes Gmail, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, Notion, Slack, forms, comments, social networks, admin panels, etc.

Not directly: canvas-based editors do not expose a standard editable text field for extensions to insert text into. When ApisVoice cannot find a focused editable field, it automatically copies the recognized text to the clipboard so you can paste it with Ctrl+V. It is a generic fallback, not editor-specific detection. The limitation comes from the platform, not the product.

Open the extension popup and pick one of the 10 languages in the selector. The change is immediate.

By pauses: a short pause inserts a comma; a long pause inserts a period. Thresholds are adjustable in the popup (comma slider 500-1500 ms, period slider 1000-3000 ms).

Ten verified languages: en-US, en-GB, es-ES, es-MX, fr-FR, de-DE, it-IT, pt-BR, ja-JP, ko-KR. Any other language is untested.

No. The browser Web Speech API needs a connection to reach the recognition engine. Without internet there is no transcription.

Drag it with the mouse (5 px threshold to distinguish click from drag). The position is saved per domain: each site remembers where you last placed it.

Click the Show microphone on this site toggle in the popup. To revert all hidden domains, use the Show microphone on ALL sites button.

It is free. No tricks, no hidden premium tier, no in-extension purchases, no ads.

No. ApisVoice never shows advertising.

Not at launch. If a Pro version exists in the future, its terms would be published before release.

Check the browser microphone permission at chrome://settings/content/microphone and confirm the current page is not in the blocked list. If the issue persists, press Test microphone in the popup to diagnose (3-second test).

The editor you are using might be canvas-based (Google Docs, Figma, Miro). In that case, the text is copied to the clipboard automatically; paste it with Ctrl+V.
