Terry Saunders (ID: 000000234e4f2df0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/22/2023 Only works if the extension home page is open in a tab, otherwise it doesn't work. The idea is to use handsfree voice without having any other tabs open. Since Google removed handsfree a long time ago, I've been looking for something that I can say "Hey Google" while Chrome for PC is open, and using voice to navigate the internet WITHOUT any extension tabs open, and as yet, there is NOTHING available and I have to use the mic icon every time.

MATHEUS MELLO (ID: 000000ccd4439ce9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/28/2023 It lacks a simple way to customize commands, customize voice command dynamically, intuitively.

Brandon Bernard (ID: 000000fa032740c1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/01/2023 cool concept but doesn't seem to do anything outside of the extensions settings page. the extension doesn't display or us mic on any other tab. is it broken?

Skip Nolles (ID: 00000050c129e329) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 Why not in Dutch? I was so very curious. So unfortunately I had to base my judgment on research and stories from others

David Hepting (ID: 00000023a5250635) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/20/2022 Best voice control app on the chrome store that I'm aware of. Really powerful and easy to use.
