    Add Dictation capabilities to a browser-based JavaScript or React app with the Suki Web SDK. If you already use the Web SDK, import the Dictation client and components from the Web SDK package. You do not need a standalone Dictation SDK install.

This section walks you through the process of integrating Dictation capabilities using the Suki Web SDK in a browser-based JavaScript or React application. You will use the packages provided by Suki to complete the integration.

To implement Dictation, you must create a `SukiAuthManager` and a `DictationClient`.

In a **React application**, you wrap your component tree with the `DictationProvider`. You then render the `Dictation` component when you want the user to dictate. In a **JavaScript application**, you call `await dictationClient.show({ ... })` when the user is ready to begin Dictation.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, meet the necessary requirements in [Web SDK prerequisites](/web-sdk/prerequisites) and obtain `partnerId` and `partnerToken` after [Partner onboarding](/documentation/get-started/partner-onboarding).
