Biggest opportunity: “speech”, “speech recognition” and “voice detection” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| speech your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| speech recognition your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| voice detection your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| voice recognition your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| write with voice your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

- “speech”, “speech recognition” and “voice detection” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,100 to #45,000, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Big Thanks … to the developers of such a wonderful plugin, and that so for free… out ranking all others… Love it.

I was looking for a plugin for pronunciation exercises and this is just what I wanted. I have been using it for a few days and so far it works flawlessly. Support is also good. Whenever I made a search for speech to text plugins, I was presented mostly with text to speech ones. And those with voice recognition worked only for the site admin. This one is for visitors to the website. I want to thank those who made a dream a reality.

Very happy to found this plugin! I was little confused in the begining, but after some minutes reading the documentation (whic is good, by the way) – I succesfully install it and make the things work! Now I have some voice commands inside of my blog. Welcome 2020 !
