Vocalect Audio Input

Vocalect Audio Input is a secure, lightweight, and incredibly smart WordPress plugin that implements hands-free voice dictation inside any input form field on your website. Powered by the native high-fidelity HTML5 Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition), it allows users to fill out search boxes, contact forms, booking inputs, or checkout comment fields simply by speaking.

This plugin is crafted specifically for creators, agencies, and businesses looking to reduce form friction, boost mobile conversions, and maximize web accessibility.

Key Features

• One-Click Voice Dictation — An elegant microphone icon is dynamically overlaid on targeted text fields, textareas, and search boxes. Users simply click to start speaking.
• Browser-Native Speech Recognition — Uses the built-in Web Speech API. No external API keys, no subscriptions, no data sent to third-party servers.
• Smart Cursor-Aware Insertion — Text is inserted exactly where the user’s cursor is positioned. Supports Append and Replace modes.
• Continuous Dictation Mode — Keeps listening through silent pauses until explicitly stopped by the user.
• Multi-Language Support — Supports over 40 language locales including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and many more.
• Voice Punctuation Commands — Speak punctuation naturally (e.g. “period”, “comma”, “question mark”) in English, Persian, Arabic, French, and German.
• Discard / Apply Workflow — Spoken text appears in a preview overlay card. Users choose to apply or discard the transcription before it enters the form field.
• Universal Form Compatibility — Works out-of-the-box with Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Elementor Forms, WooCommerce checkout, and standard WordPress forms.
• Highly Configurable — Control button position, icon style, vertical alignment, text insertion mode, page targeting, and field exclusion rules.
• Mobile Friendly — Optional mobile support toggle for touch devices.
• Accessibility Ready — Includes ARIA attributes (role="status", aria-live="polite", keyboard navigation with Escape/Enter support, focus-visible outlines, and high-contrast mode support).
• Lightweight & Secure — No external HTTP requests, no tracking, no analytics, no bundled third-party libraries. All output is properly escaped. All input is sanitized.
