• Copy Text: Click this button to copy the entire transcription to your clipboard for easy use elsewhere.
• Clear Text: Use this button to clear the transcription area and reset metrics such as word count and speech rate.

The panel also displays visual feedback such as a waveform of your speech volume and real-time metrics for maximum volume and speech rate.

Use Cases

This application can be used for a variety of purposes:

• Public Speaking Practice: Monitor your speech rate and volume to ensure you are speaking clearly and effectively.
• Note-Taking: Hands-free note-taking allows you to speak and have your notes automatically transcribed.
• Accessibility: This tool can help individuals who may have difficulty typing or need an alternative method to record their thoughts.

Limitations and Best Practices

Please note that the quality of the transcription may vary depending on the microphone used and the clarity of your speech. It is recommended to speak clearly and avoid background noise for the best results. Additionally, this application may not work in all browsers, as it relies on the Web Speech API and microphone access.

Technical Details
