Voice Text Zulu Extension

Voice Text Zulu - Update Summary for Version 1.2
New Features and Enhancements:
Improved Voice-to-Text Functionality Across Multiple Sites:

Enhanced compatibility with various websites, ensuring more consistent voice-to-text conversion.
Global Icon State Management:

The extension icon now correctly reflects the recording state globally, not just on a per-tab basis. This makes it easier for users to see whether the extension is actively listening for voice input.
Robust Speech Recognition Handling:

Speech recognition is now more reliable, with improved handling of start and stop commands. The extension seamlessly manages the state of the speech recognition service, even when switching between tabs.
Error Handling and Debugging:

Added comprehensive error handling for speech recognition, addressing issues like 'no-speech' errors and ensuring the extension continues to function smoothly.
Improved console logging for easier debugging and troubleshooting.
Performance Improvements:
Efficient Script Injection:

Optimized the way scripts are injected into web pages, reducing the likelihood of conflicts with site-specific scripts or policies.
Delayed Stop for Continuous Listening:

Implemented a delay mechanism that keeps the speech recognition active for a period after the last speech is detected, enhancing the user experience during continuous use.
Compatibility Notes:
The extension is now tested and confirmed to work on a wider range of websites. However, users may still experience limited functionality on sites with strict Content Security Policies (CSP) or complex input field controls, such as the main Google Search page.
Best performance is observed on sites with standard HTML input fields.
User Experience:
Users are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience with the extension, especially regarding its functionality on different websites. This feedback will be invaluable for future updates and enhancements.

Mechele LaBrie (ID: 000000936e3c9c0e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 Great app and easy to use. Will help me to be more productive. One suggestion would be to make it look more modern.

Reese Makes (ID: 0000005e6b7de1a2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 This app is so helpful! It has helped my productivity because now I can speak directly into text, which is way faster than typing. It even helps out with spelling. I would really like for the next version to look more modern, like google artwork.

Janice Canaria (ID: 000000136b46b7c8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 Voice Text Zulu is incredible and so much easier than I thought! I have been typing one handedly since suffering a stroke, and this extension reduces the amount of typos and errors I would make otherwise. This extension has already increased my productivity significantly. I even used it for this review!

David Benbaruk (ID: 00000061b5862d0d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 Ok so I just discovered this app and it's super helpful for my older father who's not very good with technology. Sometimes when I'm at work he likes to use my laptop to browse the internet or watch his shoes, and with this app he's able to speak directly to the laptop and state what he wants, which is way easier for him to do then spending time typing it out(He also has poor eyesight). I've personally just started using it and it's easy for me to just navigate to whatever website without typing and worrying about my palm hitting the space pad and ruining what I've typed. Overall, I'd say that this app is 100% worth the add to your extensions and can only help you and your family members when using your desktop or laptop. It's an additional tool in your toolbelt. I highly recommend it!

Deanna lankin (ID: 000000048475c60c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2023 Love this app...extension?!? Either way its soooooo helpful! Just wrote my first email with it! Did not have to type a single word. :-) Selecting a text field and directly adding my Voices text to that field could be beneficial., but really love this!
