Tips for better Kannada 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 Inscript 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.
