Is this Chinese dictation or transcription?
Many Chinese speech to text tools turn a recording into a transcript. Zefmi is for typing: messages, emails, documents and forms.
Types as you speak
Hold a key, speak Mandarin and let go. The text lands at your cursor in any app on Windows.
Upload a recording
Good for meetings and lectures. You wait for a transcript, then copy what you need into another app.
