Voice input

Just say it.

Describing a task out loud is faster than typing it. Tap the microphone, speak naturally, and watch your words appear in the message box.

What you get

Built to save you real minutes.

Live transcription

Text appears while you talk, so you can see exactly what Hark heard.

Edit before sending

Voice fills the message box. Fix a word, add a detail, then press send.

Works in every mode

Dictate a question in Chat or a whole task in Agent mode.

No audio on our servers

Speech recognition is done by Chrome’s built-in service. Hark never records or stores audio.

How it works

Voice input uses the speech recognition that is built into Google Chrome. The first time you tap the mic, Chrome asks for permission to use your microphone. After that, Hark listens only while the mic button is on, and stops by itself after a pause.

The audio is handled by Chrome’s speech service under Google’s terms; Hark receives only the resulting text, which is processed like any other message once you send it.

How to use it

3 steps, about a minute.

Tap the microphone in the message box

Allow microphone access the first time Chrome asks.

Speak

Say your question or task. Tap the mic again to stop, or just pause.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which languages does voice input understand?

Voice input follows your browser language and supports the many languages offered by Chrome’s built-in speech recognition.

Does Hark record my voice?

No. Hark does not record, receive or store audio. Chrome’s speech service turns speech into text; Hark only gets the text.

Why does a tab open the first time I use the mic?

Chrome cannot show its microphone permission prompt inside the side panel, so Hark opens a small page once where you can allow it. After that the mic works directly in the panel.

Does voice input need an internet connection?

Yes. Chrome’s speech recognition is an online service.

Hand your next task to Hark.

Add it to Chrome, open the side panel and say what you need. It takes about ten seconds.
