    Hey there,

    Does anyone know of any plugins/extensions for chrome/ie/opera to allow me to use voice to text when composing emails? Didn't know if anything like that existed or not (I'm sure it does) but I'm not familiar so wanted to ask here...I know you guys know your stuff here!

    Thanks

    I believe Cortana does that with MS Edge. Siri may also be able to do that with Safari.

    Yea I don't use Edge nor do I have any desire to use it, I really don't use IE at all so forget I mentioned that, not sure why I did. I'm looking to do this from my computer using Chrome or Opera, not an Apple device.

    There is Dragon speaking software that could do that but that come with a cost. There is no cheap alternative to voice to text browser. Other then plugins made for specific Browsers that you need to research on which will fit what you need it to do.
