TalkType Extension

Voice typing for any text box on the web

Click the mic, speak naturally, and TalkType drops the words right where your cursor is. Gmail, Notion, docs, forms, chat apps, weird CMSes. Same ghost, different surface.

What it does

Adds a mic button near text fields and lets you dictate straight into the page instead of copy-pasting from a separate app.

What you need

Desktop Chrome, a Gemini API key, and microphone access. The extension uses your own key and sends audio directly to Google.
