All use cases

Start with the work that gets stuck, then choose the voice workflow that solves it.

Meetings and action items

The meeting ends, but decisions stay buried in the recording. Turn your audio into notes and action items.

Voice notes

Raw ideas are hard to scan or share. Keep the recording connected while you turn it into structured text.

Research and interviews

Long recordings make every quote a search job. Build transcripts, summaries, and research notes from the source.

Healthcare dictation

Clinical thoughts pile up when there is no time to type twice. Dictate, review, and keep privacy boundaries clear.

All tools

Choose the job first: transcribe, translate, generate speech, or recover a voice memo.

Audio to Text

The detail you need is trapped in a recording. Turn long audio and large files into editable text.

Voice Memo to Text

Voice memos pile up as audio you cannot scan. Convert phone recordings into text you can use.

Text-to-Speech

Finished words still need a voice. Generate narration and downloadable MP3 audio.

Translate Audio

Copying between transcription and translation loses context. Keep both versions in one note.

Guide

Install and set up the Sondeas Global Shortcut

The thought usually arrives while another app is open, and switching tabs is enough to break the thread. Add the Chrome extension, set a global keybinding, and test it in under two minutes.

Install from Chrome Web StoreJump to shortcut setup

Install

Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it for quick access.

  1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click Add extension.
  2. Pin “Sondeas Global Shortcut” in your toolbar (optional but handy).

Set your shortcut

Pick a keybinding and make it global so it works even when Chrome is not focused.

  1. Go to (or click the Sondeas toolbar icon). If Chrome blocks this, paste the URL into the address bar.
  2. Find “Sondeas Global Shortcut” and set your keys (default: Ctrl+Shift+Space / Command+Shift+Space).
  3. Enable Global so it works while other apps are focused.

Test it

Make sure the shortcut toggles recording and focuses Sondeas.

  • If a Sondeas tab is open, press the shortcut and confirm recording starts/stops.
  • If no Sondeas tab is open, press the shortcut; the extension opens sondeas.com, focuses it, and toggles recording once loaded.
  • If nothing happens, revisit chrome://extensions/shortcuts and confirm the binding is set to Global.

FAQ

Do I need to keep Chrome open?
Yes. The shortcut works globally, but Chrome must be running.
Can I change the keys later?
Yes. Revisit chrome://extensions/shortcuts anytime to update the binding.
What if the shortcut doesn’t fire?
Confirm the shortcut is set to Global and that no other extension or app uses the same keys.
