How to Enable Speech to Text in Arc (The Easy Way)

How to Enable Speech to Text in Arc (The Easy Way)

Flow Logo

You can now talk to your Arc Browser, crazy times...

Arc offers a sleek interface to help us stay organized, reduce distractions, and be more productive during our day to day online activities. It’s all about making your online life smoother, more intuitive, and, frankly, more enjoyable.

But let’s be real; typing can slow you down. Every search, every note, every message—those keystrokes add up.

In fact, a study by Typing.com indicates that the average full-time employee spends around 22.3 hours per week typing. That’s like a part-time job just for your fingers.

The obvious solution to reclaim that time is to use dictation in Arc. But unfortunately, Arc doesn’t support native speech-to-text functionality.

For a browser that’s all about enhancing how we interact with the web, this feels like a missed opportunity.

Now if you’re looking to win back your time with a dictation solution that:

  • Is error free
  • Sounds like you
  • Is reliable and fast
  • Formats your text perfectly
  • Works in any web app on Arc

Then you’re in luck. Because that very specific solution is conveniently located at the top right if this page (what a coincidence).
