Voice-to-Text

Also known as: Voice Typing, Dictation, Voice Input

Technology that converts spoken language into written text, enabling users to compose text by speaking rather than typing. Voice-to-text is an important accessibility tool for people with motor disabilities affecting manual dexterity, repetitive strain injuries, or temporary upper limb impairments. Modern implementations include built-in OS dictation features, dedicated software like Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and generative AI tools that can transcribe and format dictated content.
