BlabbyAI

BlabbyAI

BlabbyAI is a Chrome extension that adds a microphone button to text fields on Gmail, Google Docs, Slack, ChatGPT, and more than 50,000 other websites. You click the mic, speak at your normal pace, and get punctuated, capitalized text in the field without touching the keyboard.

Built-in browser dictation usually dumps raw words with no periods or commas. BlabbyAI runs speech through OpenAI Whisper v3 Turbo, then applies LLM formatting so questions get question marks and emails read like emails. Custom Modes let you rewrite dictation as a professional email, translate to English, or apply your own plain-English rules without leaving the page.

The extension targets doctors, writers, project managers, and developers who spend hours in web apps and want to dictate instead of type. It works on Chromium browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi) on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Safari is not supported. The free plan includes 1 hour of transcription; Plus and Unlimited plans add more hours or remove caps entirely.
