Installation

1. Install Google Chrome browser.

5. Go to user account (the link will appear) and press the Try it! button.
6. Go again to https://voicenotebook.com (close others browser tabs with this page if there are any) and refresh the page. Check the OS integration checkbox and select your language from drop-down list, then press the Start recording button.
7. Go into Gedit or another application and start your dictation. Allow Google Chrome to control the computer using accessibility features when the system dialog appears. Continue dictation.
