"At Dictanote, we take your privacy seriously. All your notes are stored securely encrypted on Dictanoteservers.
We do not store or process any of your audio. We rely on Chrome's speech to text API to convert audio totext."
What do you think?

All,
 
Voice/note dictation software that works everywhere, on all of your devices! Notes are kept on their server, in your personal account. I'm currently taking advantage of their totally free version, which so far is excellent!

Free voice dictation software that comes very close to replacing conventional voice recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking. It is cloud-based and works through a web browser web client, so it works on all of your devices so long as your device can run the Google Chrome browser.
 
 It works a lot better than the built-in voice dictation in Windows 10 and in Windows 11 as well as on my Chromebook.
 
 It has an extensive list of basic voice commands that allow you to manipulate your document and add punctuation. The default commands are free, and custom commands cost an account subscription of $4 per month for the professional version.
 
 I followed their instructions and created a web app on Windows, Chrome OS, and on my Android cell phone as well. You can also use it on Linux, which is a nice thing considering Linux doesn't have a built-in voice recognition system.
 
I now have in Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS, and icon on my taskbar that launches the app in a standalone Google Chrome web app. 
 
 Attached is a PDF of the complete list of voice commands that are included.
 
 One of the really nice features is you can start dictating on your cell phone and continue dictating on your computer, and then take what you have and paste it into an email or a Word document.
 
 I spend most of my time working on Chrome OS and this is now my default voice dictation software for all the email that I write.
 
On Android, you can follow these instructions to create an "App" on your phone:

You can run Dictanote in a normal browser tab, or as a stand alone "Web App". This is what the web app looks like:
