Long-form English dictation in Chrome
Keep speaking after a normal dictation box feels too small.
Open GongLah in Chrome, confirm the microphone the browser is actually receiving, and dictate a longer note with recovery, sections and a clear review-before-copy workflow.
No install · No account · Original preserved
Speak for 5, 10, or longer 20–30 minute sessions. GongLah keeps recovery points, reconnects after brief browser pauses, then organises the text.

today I want to explain the customer issue first then the checks we already completed and finally what the next shift still needs to verify
Today, I want to cover three points: - The customer issue - Checks already completed - What the next shift still needs to verify
See which microphone Chrome is using
A laptop, monitor, webcam, USB microphone and Bluetooth headset can all appear as inputs. GongLah's microphone check shows the active track and live level before a long session starts.
Built around interruption and recovery
Browser speech services can pause or reconnect. GongLah keeps completed text and local recovery points so a brief interruption does not have to erase the whole draft.
- Keep the page in the foreground while recording
- Finish the last pending phrase after Stop
- Split a long draft into saved sections
- Review the original before copying
Works without a browser extension
The core tool runs as a web page. This can be useful on a work computer where installing extensions or desktop software requires approval, subject to your organisation's microphone and data policies.
FAQ
What people usually ask
Do I need a Chrome extension?
No. GongLah runs in the browser tab. You only need a supported speech-recognition environment and microphone permission.
Why does dictation stop when I change tabs?
Browsers and operating systems can pause microphone or speech recognition when a page moves to the background. Keep the page visible during a long session.
Can I choose a USB or headset microphone?
Yes, where Chrome and your operating system expose that input. Use the microphone check to confirm the track and level before recording.
Is this the same as uploading an audio file?
No. This page is for live single-speaker dictation through the browser microphone, not file transcription.
Your next long message can start with your voice.
Open GongLah in any supported browser and start speaking.
