Let people say what they think.
A feedback widget for any website. Visitors type — or tap the microphone and speak. Their browser turns speech into text they can edit before sending. Two script tags to install.
Voice input uses the browser’s own speech recognition. Where a browser doesn’t support it, typing still works.
This page has one
The widget in the corner is the real product, not a screenshot. Open it and tell us what you think — by typing, or by speaking.
Your browser will ask before the microphone is used.
<script src="https://feedback.embarko.app/widget.js"></script>
<script>
FeedbackWidget.init({
widgetId: "widget_..."
});
</script>How it works
Type it or say it, review it, send it
Voice is an input method, not a separate kind of feedback. That one decision keeps the interface to a single field people already understand.
- 1
See
A small launcher sits in the corner. One click opens it — no page navigation, no modal takeover unless you want one.
- 2
Speak or type
One text field. The microphone is just another way to fill it, so there is no choice to make between “text feedback” and “voice feedback”.
- 3
Review
Speech lands as editable text. People fix a misheard word, add a sentence, or delete the lot and start again.
- 4
Send
Only the final text they chose to submit is stored. If the network fails, their words stay on screen with a retry.
Built in
The unglamorous parts, done
The things that decide whether a third-party widget is safe to put on a real site.
Won't touch your CSS
The widget renders inside a Shadow DOM. Your styles can't reach in and its styles can't leak out — tested against a page that tries.
9 kB gzipped
No framework, no dependencies, nothing fetched at runtime. The build fails if the bundle ever grows past its budget.
Degrades honestly
No speech support, a blocked microphone, a failed request — each says what happened and leaves the person able to type and retry.
Keyboard and screen reader
Focus management, Escape to close, labelled controls, and microphone state announced rather than shown only in colour.
Works on phones
A bottom sheet sized for thumbs, inputs that don't trigger zoom, and drag support if you let people move the launcher.
Locked to your domains
An allowlist decides which origins may submit, enforced on the server. Rate limiting comes as standard.
Privacy
The audio never leaves the page
Speech is transcribed by the visitor's own browser. Nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded, and there is no audio file to leak, subpoena or forget to delete.
- Only the text a person chooses to submit is stored.
- Metadata is opt-in per widget — turn a field off and the widget stops sending it.
- The microphone is only live while someone is actually speaking, and says so clearly.

No audio is recorded or transmitted at any point.
Configuration
Change it without touching their site
Appearance, position, copy and behaviour all come from the server. Your customers paste the snippet once; after that you change things from the dashboard and their pages pick it up.
Appearance
Theme, colours, radius, font, launcher style, size.
Position
Four corners, centred, or draggable by the visitor.
Content
Every visible string, so it can be translated per widget.
Behaviour
Backdrop, click-outside, auto-open, character limit.
The dashboard previews changes with the real widget running beside the settings, not a picture of one.
Install
Two script tags
Drop it in before the closing body tag. It loads asynchronously and never blocks rendering.
<script src="https://feedback.embarko.app/widget.js"></script>
<script>
FeedbackWidget.init({
widgetId: "widget_..."
});
</script>Drive it from your own code
FeedbackWidget.open();
FeedbackWidget.close();
FeedbackWidget.destroy();
FeedbackWidget.on("submit", ({ id, source }) => {
analytics.track("feedback", { id, source });
});source is text, voice or mixed, so you can see how people actually prefer to give feedback.
