# How do I use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave a comment in SpeedGrader?

If you use the Google Chrome web browser to access Canvas, you can use Chrome's speech recognition feature to leave text comments on student assignments in the SpeedGrader. Chrome's speech recognition feature turns your spoken comments into text comments.

Chrome speech recognition will default to the preferred language set in your Chrome settings. To change your setting to a different language, [view your language settings in Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424?hl=en).
