What LipSurf is

LipSurf lets people dictate text and navigate the web by speaking through Google Chrome. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebooks, using existing computer hardware and microphones. Dictation is available wherever text can be edited and uses Google's speech-to-text engine. Spoken commands can click links, scroll articles, and control videos, while words or phrases can be mapped to shortcuts such as inserting a text template. LipSurf lists integrations including Gmail, Outlook, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft Word, YouTube, Reddit, Slack, Twitter, Discord, WhatsApp, Evernote, and Salesforce. Its plugins are open source, and anyone can make one. The product lists a language count of 10; its homepage names English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Japanese. The Free plan costs nothing and includes over 100 commands and community plugins. Plus adds WaniKani reviews, Duolingo, and email and phone support; Premium includes Plus features, text dictation, custom URLs, and a wake-word. LipSurf says it does not store or process voice data on its servers and uses Google APIs to transcribe speech. Its privacy policy says it collects email, extension activation counts, and command names and counts, but not command phrasing.
