Chrome Voice Control 4.2.7

Chrome Voice Control is a Google Chrome add-on that will enable users to control different features of Google Chrome with your voice.

Chrome Voice Control is a work in progress and new features will continually come out. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave a comment.

Currently it takes two clicks to start voice recognition (one on the extension and one on the microphone). This is unavoidable due to restrictions in the x-webkit-speech API.

I have created an alternative shortcut key that will open a popup on most pages. This does not exit itself but a simple click on either the close link or anywhere on the page will close the dialog. I am working on a fix for this.

The shortcut key combination is Control + Alt + z. You still have to click on the microphone but at least now you don’t have to go to the corner of your screen.

You Can Now Create Custom Commands!! If you have a specific website you always go to, you can now set up an alias and use it as a voice command. Right now this only works with websites but I will be expanding this feature soon. Hang Tight!

Added Google Translate just say: translate [phrase to translate] to [language you want to translate to].

This supports all languages that Google Translate does you can find the full list here: http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/v1/getting_started.html#translatableLanguages
