SoundScript: Hands-Free Voice Dictation & Smart Shortcuts

SoundScript is an advanced, hands-free voice-to-text accessibility extension
designed to streamline dictation and text entry across the entire web. By
bridging the gap between natural speech and browser-wide input fields,
SoundScript allows you to write emails, draft documents, fill out forms, and
trigger custom keyboard actions—all using your voice.

Whether you are looking to boost your daily writing speed, automate repetitive
typing tasks, or require an alternative typing utility for accessibility,
SoundScript adapts to your workflow.

🌟 Key Features

1. Seamless Web-Wide Dictation

Type with your voice into text fields, comment sections, and search bars on any
website. SoundScript works continuously in the background, keeping track of your
focus window as you switch browser tabs, ensuring your text lands exactly where
your cursor is placed.

2. Visual Status HUD

Stay informed with a minimal, elegant visual HUD overlay on the side of your web
page. The HUD shows real-time transcription status, displays the words you speak
as they are recognized, and provides visual confirmation when voice actions are
triggered.

3. Custom Text Replacements & Auto-Correction

Create custom shortcuts to automate repetitive typing. Map spoken keywords to
longer, formatted text strings.

  - Example: Speak "My Address" to instantly insert your complete physical
    address.
  - Example: Speak "Best Regards" to insert your signature block.

4. Voice-Activated Keyboard Commands

Transform spoken phrases into specific keyboard actions. You can configure
custom phrases to mimic typing keys, helping you navigate forms hands-free.

5. Multi-Language Support & Quick Toggle

Choose from a wide range of global languages. Select your target languages in
the options dashboard, and use keyboard shortcuts to toggle between them on the
fly—ideal for multilingual writers and translators. Supported default languages
include:

  - English (United States)
  - Arabic (Saudi Arabia)
  - Spanish (Spain)
  - French (France)
  - German (Germany)
  - Japanese (Japan)
  - Russian (Russia)
  - Portuguese (Brazil)

6. Smart Google Docs Integration

Unlike standard dictation tools that struggle with cloud-based word processors,
SoundScript features specific typing mechanics designed to handle text
insertions inside Google Docs and other rich-text editors.

7. Optional Secure Settings Cloud Sync

Create an optional account via Google Sign-In or email to back up your
configurations. Sync your custom text replacement rules, language preferences,
and keyboard commands securely across multiple browser profiles.

⚙️ How It Works

1.  Install & Setup: Add SoundScript to Chrome and grant microphone permissions
    when prompted.
2.  Target your Input: Click into any text input area on any web page.
3.  Activate Dictation: Click the extension popup or use your designated
    shortcut.
4.  Speak Naturally: Watch your spoken words translate to text on screen in real
    time.

🛡️ Privacy & Security First

Your privacy is paramount. SoundScript does not record, store, or transmit your
audio or voice recordings.

  - Local Processing: Audio capture and voice-to-text translation are processed
    natively using the browser's built-in engine.
  - Minimal Data Footprint: We only store configuration preferences (like text
    replacements and language settings) locally on your device or in your secure
    cloud account if you choose to sync them. No browsing history or personal
    data is collected or shared.
