Voice In Plus Features
Voice In Plus unlocks six main features currently:
- Voice Commands
- Change Voice In pop-up location
- Paste Mode
- Dictation Box
- Language Switcher
- Disable Uppercase
1) Voice Commands
You can create custom voice commands to add your specific mappings from utterances to text.
For example:
- If you are working as a doctor, you can map "Insert knee exam" to a full knee exam related text block.
- You are a call center agent, you can map "refund issued text" to a text blob that explains to the customer that his payment refund has been issued
To create custom voice commands: go to Voice In options page
Follow the instructions for Custom Voice Commands. Note that Voice In already has many good voice commands for common tasks like punctuation, quotes, smileys and special characters.
2) Change Voice In pop-up location
By default, voice in shows a pop-up like below on a page when you activate Voice In. You can click on the button to open extension options. With plus, you can disable this pop-up / change the location of the pop-up on the page.
To do that, open the options page
In the opened page, change the UI Settings as you see fit
Click on the checkbox to hide the VoiceIn pop-up. Alternatively, use the select dropdown to change the location on the page.
After you refresh the page you want to dictate on and use Voice In, the pop-up will reflect the changes.
3) Paste Mode
Some sites use complicated input handling which make it hard to add text though the extension. On many such sites, you can use paste mode to dictate. Paste Mode simply copies dictated text to the clipboard and pastes it at the cursor location. The end result is it behaves just like default Voice In. There are two way to enable the paste mode on a domain :
Method 1: Click on the Voice In pop-up
This will open up a settings modal on the page. Select enable paste mode for this domain.
Method 2: Go to Voice In options page
In the Domains section, add in the domain to want to enable paste mode on. For example, for reddit- add reddit.com.
--
Once the domain is added, when you go to the page and activate voice in, paste mode will automatically be enabled.
4) Dictation Box
Use Dictation Box to type on sites where Voice In doesn't work by default like Facebook, etc. There are two way to enable the Dictation Box:
Method 1: Click on the Voice In pop-up
This will open up a settings modal on the page. Select enable dictation box for this domain.
Method 2: Go to Voice In options page
In the Domains section, add in the domains where you want the dictation box to activate. For example, for reddit- add reddit.com.
--
Once the domain is added, when you go to the page and activate voice in, you will see the dictation box appear in the top right corner as shown below.
Click inside the box and start dictating. After you are done, click copy to copy out the text in the dictation box and paste it in the desired field.
You can change the location of the Dictation Box by changing the location of the Voice In pop-up location.
5) Language Switcher
Language switcher makes it easy for you to switch across multiple languages. You don't have to restart Voice In. You can currently switch between three languages. To configure the 3 languages, go to the Voice In options page and scroll down to the language switcher section:
Select the three languages you wish to be able to quickly switch between.
There are two ways you can switch between the languages:
- Using Keyboard Shortcuts: As shown in the screenshot above, each language is mapped to a keyboard shortcut. When Voice In is ON in a page, use the keyboard shortcut of the language to switch to that language.
- Page Buttons: Click on the "Show language switching options in the page pop-up" checkbox in the options page to show the language switching buttons right on the page you are dictating. If you enable this option, you should see the language switching buttons on the page like below. Use them to quickly change languages.
6) Disable Uppercase In Dictation
A common issue with the dictated output is that it doesn't understand if the word in a given context is a proper noun or not. As a result, you will see words get capitalized that shouldn't be capitalized.
This setting lets you disable uppercase except at the start of the sentence. You can access this setting in the Voice Commands tab in Settings.
