## Overview
Speechnotes is an automatic speech-to-text service that allows users to dictate notes instead of typing or transcribe audio and video recordings. The platform offers both a free online dictation notepad and a pay-per-use transcription service that supports over 100 languages. Users can dictate directly into web forms via a Chrome extension, upload media files for transcription, or work with YouTube videos and Google Drive sources. The service has been operating since 2015 and serves millions of users globally.

The tool prioritizes privacy by not keeping audio files and offering HIPAA compliance for sensitive applications. Transcription accuracy reaches approximately 95% for quality recordings using Google and Microsoft's speech recognition engines. One notable limitation is that accurate transcription depends significantly on audio quality, and background noise can reduce accuracy rates.
