Web Share API

The Web Share API is a browser feature that lets a website hand text, links, or files to your device's native share sheet — the same sheet you use to share from any other app.

Definition

The Web Share API is a JavaScript API that lets a web page trigger the OS-level share dialog. It's widely supported on mobile browsers and has expanding support on desktop.

In plain language

A button on a website that opens your phone or computer's normal share menu.

Why it matters

For mobile users especially, share sheets are how content moves between apps. A working Web Share integration turns a voice-to-writing app into a native-feeling piece of the OS.

How this relates to Zahvox

A Share button using the Web Share API is planned for Zahvox. It will let mobile users push their transcript into Messages, WhatsApp, or any share-target app without a manual copy step.

Status: Planned for a later Zahvox release. Not scheduled.

Example

You dictate a message on your phone, tap Share, choose WhatsApp, pick a contact, and send — all from one flow.
