Frequently asked questions about Tapfree for Chrome
What makes Tapfree different from other voice dictation tools?
Tapfree uses webpage context, not just the tab you're in, to produce cleaner and more relevant dictation. It understands the text field and surrounding UI as context, so emails, chats, and docs come out closer to how you meant to write them. Traditional tools transcribe words literally, miss context, butcher names, and leave you fixing formatting by hand.
How does Tapfree handle mid-sentence corrections?
Tapfree catches corrections in real-time as you speak. For example, if you say 'Could you get some coffee... sorry, tea on the way back?', Tapfree writes 'Could you get some tea on the way back?' without you having to go back and fix it. It uses an LLM under the hood to understand the semantics and decide if something should be a correction.
Does Tapfree work on ChromeOS?
Yes, Tapfree works natively and system-wide on ChromeOS. This was one of the main motivations for building it, as the maker wanted to dictate in tools like the OpenAI Codex CLI when SSH-ing into VMs using the terminal on a Chromebook.
What is Tapfree's privacy policy? Do you store context?
All context used is ephemeral and not stored anywhere. It is not logged and never will be. Tapfree explicitly completely ignores any fields with sensitive information like password fields. The context mode is also opt-in, and Tapfree works in a still-pretty-good dictation mode without it.
Does Tapfree support other Chromium-based browsers?
Yes, Tapfree does support Chromium-based browsers like Dia. The maker confirmed this by writing a reply using Tapfree on Dia as well.
Can I dictate in Linux apps on my Chromebook with Tapfree?
Yes, you can dictate in Linux apps on your Chromebook. This was the main motivation for building Tapfree, starting with wanting to dictate in the OpenAI Codex CLI when SSH-ing into VMs using the terminal.
How many languages does Tapfree support?
Tapfree launched with support for the 15 most commonly used major languages, with additional languages planned for the future. The exact list of 15 languages wasn specified at launch.
Is Tapfree available for Android as well?
Yes, Tapfree also exists as a voice-first Android keyboard. It's the same product with context-aware dictation that uses on-screen context to turn messy speech into clean text, catching mid-sentence corrections and preserving formatting for emails, chats, and docs.
Does Tapfree work on all websites?
Yes, Tapfree is available across all the websites you use. It subtly appears itself in the text fields you need it most without disrupting your flow, including Facebook, Gmail, WhatsApp, and any other site with text input fields.
