Enable for assistive technology so forms can be filled in without the mouse and keyboard

To be able to fill in the different form fields using speech recognition. e.g., Dragon Dictate. I am an Assistive Technology trainer and teach people how to use Dragon Dictate which not only does speech recognition, it allows people who have mobility issues and unable to use a mouse or keyboard to navigate their computers. So e.g. in a First Name field to be able to say "First Name" and the mouse cursor goes to the First Name field so they can dictate the name. When finished with that field, they can say e.g. "Date" to jump to the date field then select a date using voice commands, etc. I could only get to the following fields by saying the command "Tab or Press Tab" to move to the next field, but this did not work will the multiple choice and drop down lists or allow an easy way to say what was in the drop down list to select it, other than saying the command "Move down - etc., then Press Enter" or with the Ranking "Move Right" And, a BIG thanks for providing access to Tally and for making it Free. Keep up the good work :-)

Hi there! First off, thank you so much — that's genuinely lovely to hear, and a generous, no-bloat free tier is exactly what we're trying to build, so it means a lot. ✌️ A built-in dictation option for form fields isn't something we offer today, so I've noted your suggestion down and we'll keep it in mind for the roadmap. In the meantime, here's some good news: because Tally's fields use standard text inputs, your respondents can already dictate into any long-answer field using their own device — the microphone key on most phone keyboards, or the built-in dictation on desktop. And since that follows their device/keyboard language, it's effectively multilingual out of the box. It's not a native Tally feature, but it should give your clients pretty much exactly what you're describing right now.
