Sloth Extension

Sloth - voice control of the Google Chrome browser

This is an extension for people with disabilities and just for the convenience of controlling your computer with your voice.

Sloth - allows you to use voice control of the Google Chrome browser. There is an opportunity to open Internet resources, Google search, opening links, scrolling through pages of sites and control browser tabs using voice control.

The extension has a fairly easy interface. Soon the control will be implemented in more than 15 languages, including the English version.

To work it is desirable to have a good microphone or laptop with a built-in microphone, as well as a room without noise.

Try again, if you do not succeed at the first time. You will need some time to practice and memorize voice commands. You'll soon find that it's easier than it looks at first glance.

Have a great experience!
