Browse By Voice Manager Application

Note : This app functions in conjunction with the 'Browse By Voice' chrome extension. So if you haven't installed the extension yet, kindly do so after installing this app.

'Browse by Voice' is an end-to-end speech based browsing application that captures user commands from your computer based audio input or your android device. You can check emails, open websites, navigate through them, use search engines, play videos, open images, automatically login to your social media and email accounts, all without using your keyboard or mouse. And this is not it. You can even connect your computer to your android device wirelessly and send voice commands via our android app.

While many people try to teach their parents and grandparents how to surf the web, most find it challenging to acclimatize them to the poorly placed computer components. Even after they take cognizance of the functional requirements of the components, it is a tedious task for them to type a sentence on a keyboard that is not alphabetically arranged or to drag the mouse pointer from one corner of the screen to the other to simply click a button. The frustration of the impatient makes you wonder if the QWERTY keyboard and the harmless mouse are amongst the worst User Experience designs ever. Consider installing this application for them, if you yourself don't find it much useful. My plan is to extend this application to as many foreign languages as possible. I'd appreciate support and suggestions from people using this application and contribute towards innovation of perceptual computing.
