Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core SpeechToTextButton Overview

The Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core SpeechToTextButton component transforms voice input into written text. Users can click the button to start recording their voice, speak naturally, and see their words automatically converted to text. The SpeechToTextButton is particularly useful for improving accessibility, enabling hands-free data entry, enhancing user experience on mobile devices, and supporting users who prefer voice input over traditional typing.

The current demo shows how to integrate the SpeechToTextButton component into a TextArea component, allowing users to convert their voice input into text that is automatically displayed within the TextArea. This integration creates a streamlined voice-to-text experience for faster data input.

The ASP.NET Core SpeechToTextButton control is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core, a professional-grade UI library with 110+ components for building modern and feature-rich web applications. The UI for ASP.NET Core SpeechToTextButton is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI for jQuery SpeechToTextButton widget and supports an HtmlHelper and a TagHelper mode.
