Allows you to quickly do a Google Search by Speaking via Voice to Text!

Supports many search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo and more.
If your desired Search Engine is not a default in the options, you can easily add a custom search engine.
Supports Over 100 Languages/Dialects.

These Settings can be Accessed by Right Clicking the Extension Icon and Clicking \"Options\".

Once added to chrome, you can active that voice search feature by either clicking on the Extensions Icon or via the Voice Search Hotkey; default hotkey is \"Ctrl+Shift+X\".
If your hotkey is not working you will need to set your hotkey manually.

James Davis (ID: 0000009727d8b2ba) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/24/2023 This would be 5 star4s, because it was the best of six voice search addons I tried. But now it has started hanging after a search and you have to click cancel to get it to complete the search. It may be a Google problem because the same is happening with some other vocie search addons.

First Last (ID: 0000008fff2292f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2020 After evaluating all the similar apps, this is by far the best. Not sure where there are so few reviews. It is reliable, it has a keyboard short cut already setup, it has a clean interface, and it displays the text on the screen as you talk so you can verify it is detecting the correct words. The is the only app that does all those things.
