Powered by the native high-fidelity HTML5 Web Speech API (<code>SpeechRecognition<\/code>), it allows users to fill out search boxes, contact forms, booking inputs, or checkout comment fields simply by speaking.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin is crafted specifically for creators, agencies, and businesses looking to reduce form friction, boost mobile conversions, and maximize web accessibility.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Key Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One-Click Voice Dictation<\/strong> -- An elegant microphone icon is dynamically overlaid on targeted text fields, textareas, and search boxes.

No external API keys, no subscriptions, no data sent to third-party servers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Cursor-Aware Insertion<\/strong> -- Text is inserted exactly where the user's cursor is positioned. Supports Append and Replace modes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuous Dictation Mode<\/strong> -- Keeps listening through silent pauses until explicitly stopped by the user.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multi-Language Support<\/strong> -- Supports over 40 language locales including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and many more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voice Punctuation Commands<\/strong> -- Speak punctuation naturally (e.g. \"period\", \"comma\", \"question mark\") in English, Persian, Arabic, French, and German.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discard \/ Apply Workflow<\/strong> -- Spoken text appears in a preview overlay card. Users choose to apply or discard the transcription before it enters the form field.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Universal Form Compatibility<\/strong> -- Works out-of-the-box with Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Elementor Forms, WooCommerce checkout, and standard WordPress forms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highly Configurable<\/strong> -- Control button position, icon style, vertical alignment, text insertion mode, page targeting, and field exclusion rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile Friendly<\/strong> -- Optional mobile support toggle for touch devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessibility Ready<\/strong> -- Includes ARIA attributes (<code>role=\"status\"<\/code>, <code>aria-live=\"polite\"<\/code>, keyboard navigation with Escape\/Enter support, focus-visible outlines, and high-contrast mode support).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightweight &amp; Secure<\/strong> -- No external HTTP requests, no tracking, no analytics, no bundled third-party libraries.
