Practise Italian typingHow to use Italian voice typing
- Open this page in Chrome or Edge on a computer or Android phone. Other browsers may not offer speech recognition for Italian.

Tips for better Italian speech to text
- Use a headset or the phone's microphone held close – background noise causes most mistakes.
- Pause briefly between sentences; long pauses may stop the recording.
- Names and rare words may be written differently – fix them with the on-screen Italian keyboard.
- Check punctuation at the end: speech recognition does not always add full stops.
Where does my voice go?
Voice typing uses the speech recognition built into your browser. In Google Chrome the audio is processed by Google, in Microsoft Edge by Microsoft. All Keyboards never receives or stores your voice – see the Privacy Policy.
