Allows teachers and students to leave transcribed voice notes and feedback on Google Classroom, Gmail, & Google Docs.Beep is a voice feedback and speech-to-text Chrome extension for Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Gmail. Record voice notes, audio comments, and spoken feedback directly inside Google Workspace without leaving the page.

With Beep, you can create and listen to voice notes in Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Gmail as part of your normal workflow. Beep brings back one of the most important parts of in-person communication: clear, human, personal feedback. It is built for teachers, students, school administrators, and teams who want faster, friendlier communication in digital learning and online collaboration.

✨ What you can do with Beep • Record voice notes and audio comments directly in Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Gmail • Give faster, clearer voice feedback without scheduling meetings or typing long comments • Use built-in transcription and speech-to-text to make recordings easier to search, review, and understand • Create audio assignments, audio quizzes, and voice-based learning activities on Google Forms • Let students respond with voice to encourage participation and richer answers • Play audio feedback without opening a new tab or leaving the page • Automatically convert supported recording links into embedded audio players • Access full recording history to replay past recordings anytime • Set optional expiration dates to automatically delete recordings after a chosen time • Use smart context so Beep remembers which page, message, or document a recording came from • Restrict recordings to your organization or domain for more control

🤔 Why voice feedback?

Voice feedback captures tone, encouragement, nuance, and clarity in ways typed comments often cannot. It makes communication feel more personal while saving time. Instead of writing long, carefully worded feedback, you can speak naturally and communicate more in less time.

Beep is especially useful for remote learning, distance education, school communication, and collaborative work. It helps bridge the gap between digital tools and real human connection.
