Let Users Capture Text Faster with Hands-Free Speech Input
Let users speak instead of type. The Speech-to-Text Button adds reliable voice input to any field or workflow using a single, themed control. It improves accessibility with hands-free interaction and clear state announcements that work seamlessly with screen readers and system text scaling.
Start listening with a click, see live transcription as users speak and commit results directly to your UI - ideal for search, notes, messages and efficient data entry.
-
Theming
Looks right everywhere. The control automatically adopts your selected Telerik theme and brand colors, with accessible contrast and clearly defined visual states.
See the WinForms Speech-to-Text Button Documentation
-
Live Transcription
Show users what the app hears in real time. Stream partial recognition results as text so users can validate accuracy before confirming input.

Animation
Subtle motion that builds trust: micro-interactions such as listening pulses, smooth start/stop transitions and crisp confirmation states provide clear feedback throughout the speech flow.

-
Continuous vs. One-time Recognition
Choose the listening mode that fits your UX - single-shot recognition captures one utterance and stops automatically, while continuous mode keeps listening for dictation, longer input or multi-field scenarios.

Implementing Custom Speech Recognizer
Integrate the speech-to-text service or library of your choice – the Speech-To-Text Button allows you to implement a custom speech recognizer, enabling integration with external speech-to-text services or libraries based on your application’s requirements.
