Speech to Text & Voice Dictation for Jira

Speech to Text lets you dictate instead of typing on Jira issues — comments, descriptions and replies in the Jira Service Management portal, in over 60 languages. Edit the text in a rich editor, then post it with a click or by voice.

Speak, edit, post

Click Record and talk; the text appears in a rich editor. Fix it, @-mention people, link issues, paste screenshots — then add a comment or update the description. Unsent text survives a reload.

Hands-free with voice commands

Say “comma”, “new paragraph”, “scratch that”, “bold that”, “bullet point” or “add comment” — in 10 languages including English, German, French, Spanish and Russian.

For agents and customers alike

The JSM customer portal gets the same panel: customers describe their problem by voice and attach files. Templates and a team glossary keep names and terms right for everyone.

Also included

  • 60+ languages, 101 regional variants, your profile’s language by default.
  • Templates for texts you repeat and a glossary for names and terms — personal and for the whole team.
  • Files and screenshots — uploaded as attachments; a comment with an image shows the image.
  • Keyboard shortcut Alt + Shift + R, automatic stop on silence, drafts kept for two weeks.

Runs on Atlassian

Built on Atlassian Forge: everything is done with your Jira permissions, templates and glossary are stored inside your Atlassian site, and the app’s code talks only to Jira. Speech is recognised by your browser’s own speech service. See the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Which browsers can dictate?

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on desktop, and recent Safari. Firefox has no speech recognition, so the Record button is disabled there; you can still type.

Does the app hear or store my audio?

No. Your browser's own speech service recognises the speech — Chrome sends audio to Google, Edge to Microsoft. The app never receives, sends or stores audio.

Can I dictate straight into Jira's description editor?

Atlassian does not let apps add a microphone to Jira's own editor. Dictate in the Speech to Text panel on the issue, then Overwrite description, Append to description or Add a comment.

Does it work in the Jira Service Management portal?

Yes. Customers and agents can dictate a comment on a request in the portal and attach files; the comment is posted by them.

Which voice commands are there?

In ten languages, including English, German, French, Spanish and Russian — punctuation, new line and paragraph, scratch that, undo, bold that, bullet points, insert template, and add comment or update the description after a 3-second countdown.
