Voice clipboard: save, pin and reuse dictated snippets

Most dictation is throwaway, but some of it is not: a standard reply, an address, a product description, a disclaimer you paste ten times a week. Pin those once and they stay at the top of the list, one tap from your clipboard, in whichever format the destination app expects.

Entries are stored in your own browser, not on a server, so the list is private to the device you dictated on and disappears when you clear it.

Who uses ChatCopyPaste

Writers drafting first versions out loud, students capturing lecture notes, founders dictating pitches between meetings, clinicians recording observations at the end of a shift, and people with limited mobility or dyslexia who find typing slow or painful. Anyone who thinks faster than they type gets a usable draft in a fraction of the time.

A typical speaker dictates roughly 130 words a minute against about 40 words a minute typing, so a five-minute recording replaces a fifteen-minute typing session.

What you can do here

• Dictate and copy text in 11 languages with automatic punctuation and one-tap copy.
• Polish text in AI Rewrite Studio in five styles: improve, professional, casual, concise or detailed.
• Open Business Mode to turn spoken ideas into pitches, plans and structured business documents.
• Install the Chrome extension and dictate straight into any browser tab.
• Save snippets in the voice clipboard and reuse them as plain text, Markdown or JSON.
• Export any transcript as PDF, Word or plain text, or email it straight from the app.

How it works

1. Tap to Speak and allow microphone access when your browser asks.
2. Talk at a normal pace; your words appear in the editor as you go.
3. Stop speaking and punctuation is tidied automatically about a second later.
4. Edit anything you want to change directly in the text box.
5. Tap to Copy, then paste into ChatGPT, Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Docs or anywhere else.

Common questions

Is ChatCopyPaste free?

Yes. Dictation, editing, automatic punctuation, translation and copying are free, with no account and no credit card.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. An optional Chrome extension is available if you prefer dictating inside tabs.

Is my voice private?

Yes. Recognition uses your browser's built-in engine, so audio is not uploaded or stored by us.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. On Android the microphone meter is simulated because the browser blocks simultaneous audio capture during dictation.
