Works for 1-2 sec and then stops

Voice In
1

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a persistent issue with the VoiceIn extension (Free Version) on Google Chrome.

Whenever I activate the microphone and start speaking, the extension successfully dictates the first 5-7 words (for about 1-2 seconds), but then it automatically stops, even during continuous speech.

System Details:

  • Browser: Google Chrome (latest version)

  • Language: Greek (primary input)

  • Symptom: Premature timeout/disconnection after a few words.

I have already verified that microphone permissions are correctly set and there is no background noise interfering.

Feedback & Pricing Concerns: I am a Professional Adult Educator and I consistently recommend VoiceIn to my students and colleagues because of its ease of use and efficiency. I would truly like to upgrade to the Plus/Lifetime version to support the developers and unlock full features.

However, because I operate across multiple Chrome profiles/users for different projects, the current lifetime pricing becomes prohibitive for a small business when multiplied by several accounts.

Is the 1-2 second stop a technical bug of the free version or a new limitation? Also, is there any provision or more flexible licensing for small businesses/educators who need to use the tool across multiple profiles?

Looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,

Evangelos

Hi Evangelos,

Check the Troubleshooting Guide at https://help.dictanote.co/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide

Specifically, the Microphone Check section. If you have multiple microphones, please remove all except one and try again. Also make sure you are not behind a VPN or firewall.

You can go to the Voice In Options page to check which microphone is being used.

Re: using account on multiple profiles: this is permitted. We license per user.
