STT-1

Speech to text, first pass. Two text boxes, one popup — same write-back idea as the date picker. Access cannot do this. The browser can (Chrome or Edge, microphone permission).

Speech popup · What this demo shows · Demos

Two boxes

Not linked to a database. Each Speak opens the same popup and can write back to that box (same idea as date-picker Go!). Only one tab can use the microphone at a time — close any other tab that shows a red recording dot first.

This demo is password-protected so visitors cannot run up a Grok bill. Unlock Speak and Ask Grok.

What this demo shows

A speech-to-text popup that returns text to the field that opened it — STT-1. Not an Access file. Access has no speech recognition.

  • Calling control — Text 1 and Text 2 share one popup. Use this writes back to the box that opened it (same pass-back as the date picker).
  • Microphone — the browser’s Speech Recognition API (Chrome or Edge). Press Mic, speak, words appear in the large area. Press Stop when you are done. Only one tab can record at a time: if another tab shows a red recording dot, close it first or this page will not hear you.
  • Close without sending — Close leaves the host box unchanged. You choose whether the transcript goes back.
  • No database — two unbound boxes. This page only tests whether a speech interface is possible.
  • Ask Grok — after a transcript, Grok fills first name, last name, date of birth, phone, and email. The API key stays on the server. You check the card, then Use this.
  • Password — the whole STT-1 demo (Speak and Ask Grok) is locked. Hiding the popup alone would not stop a direct call to the extractor. The password is checked on the server.

Will this work when the data is in a database?

Yes. The host field would be ordinary text (or a memo). The popup is UI. The same sentence would save like any other typed value. Firefox and Safari often have no Speech Recognition API; Chrome and Edge do.

Needs a microphone permission prompt. Works on https or localhost, not usually on file://.

Speech to text

Press Mic and speak. Use this copies the area back to the box that opened the form. Close leaves that box as it was. It will not work if another tab is already recording speech — close any tab with a red recording dot first. Only one tab can record at a time.
