Braina vs Voice In

Braina is a voice dictation and AI assistant available on Windows, Android, iOS and macOS. It supports voice commands and custom vocabulary, with dictation in 90 languages. The Pro plan includes unlimited online and offline dictation in software or websites, and the product can transcribe audio and video files offline on the user’s computer. Braina works with software and sites including MS Word, WordPress, Gmail and Visual Studio, and integrates with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral and Meta Llama. Its Android and iOS apps can act as wireless microphones to control a PC over Wi-Fi. Braina describes its privacy model as hybrid, with most data stored locally. The free Lite plan has no dictation, 300 advanced AI credits and 30 free Gemini Pro messages per day; advanced AI features use credits after free daily quotas run out. Pro costs $99 a year for one Windows PC. Pro Plus is $199 a year and Pro Ultra is $299 a year.

Voice In is a browser extension that turns speech into text in web text fields, placing recognized words at the cursor in real time. It is available for Chrome and Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebooks, and supports more than 50 languages and 100 dialects. Built-in voice commands can add punctuation or paragraphs and correct common dictation errors. The maker says it supports more than 10,000 websites and lists 268 tested apps; some listed apps require Plus Advanced Mode. The free plan provides 60 minutes of dictation per day. Voice In Plus adds unlimited dictation, Advanced Mode, custom voice commands, a Dictation Box, language switching, case changes, and premium support. AI Transforms can polish selected text or apply a customized style; the maker says only selected text is sent to an AI model and is not stored by Voice In. Dictation requires an active internet connection and does not work offline. Its privacy policy says dictated audio and transcript text are processed using browser speech-to-text and are not sent to Voice In servers.
