voice-search's Introduction

Voice Search

Voice Search is a Google Chrome extension that provides a method to search by speaking. For example, just click on microphone and say kittens to search for kittens. If you specifically want pictures of kittens, say google images kittens. Want to learn more about World War II? Say wikipedia world war two.

Roadmap

Version 1.2
One-click voice search from the browser button and Chrome OS integration with the Search key.
Version 1.3
Implement functionality to import and export search engines and settings. Also provide an interface for setting common "task" terms and give it appropriate defaults. For example, set map to Google Maps and buy to Google Shopping and say map atlantis, buy flux capacitor, or even calculate cloud height for a 1 megaton nuclear explosion (assuming calculate is set to Wolfram|Alpha). Currently, one must create new terms to do this, and modifying the old term's URI template does not update the new term's URI template. listen to and/or play are likely to be included in this version, but I'm not sure what the default should be so I'm open to suggestions.
Version 1.4
Detect OpenSearch description files and provide a method to easily add them to Voice Search. If Google Chrome stable implements SpeechInputResultCollection, it will be used to chose the closest utterance to using a term, and if SpeechInputError events get implemented, they will be handled appropriately to inform the user of any problems recognizing speech input.
Version 2.0
Support scripted terms and revamp the options interface accordingly. There will also need to be a way for websites to signal that they provide a scripted term. This release is aimed at providing at least some of the features that Mozilla Ubiquity implemented, but for voice.

voice-search's Issues

It doesn't work

I have windows XP, and Chrome 21.0.1180.83 m and it doesn't work it shows a mic and a combo box but the combo box doesn't let me select google or anything and the mic just changes from red to grey on click but I speak every time and it does nothing

half works

works on webpages for text field input but when clicked on toolbar (icon next to address bar) on the top right of chrome bubble with mic pops up, i click on it and it turns red but nothing after that. does not respond -turn blue, recognise speech, just sits there. does not freeze chrome or other functions as far as i know.

any resolution for similar situations?

Shortcut Key

A shortcut key, (For example F3) to auto activate search witout clicking the button would be awesome.

Microphone preference

It would be nice to choose which mic to use. I have a feeling it's using my internal mic which is closed up and cannot be used instead of the external mic I have installed.

Extension Broken with Chrome 8.0.552.237 ?

Windows 7 64 bit system with Chrome 8.0.552.237 extension now does not work at all.

Windows XP Pro system with Chrome 8.0.552.237 extension now does not work at all.

NOTE: Worked beautifully up until Chrome 8.0.552.224. If there's anything I can do to help troubleshoot, say the word.

red microphone icon not present

I'm unable to see the red microphone icon when i click on the blue microphone plugin icon in chrome.I currently use ubuntu 10.10. Can someone help me with this issue?

Translation

I would love to see the possibility to use this extension for translating.

Option to Place Voice Search in Tray

It would be really nice, if the voice search could be placed in a tray icon, like google talk. this would give a quick access to voice search, even when the browser is not active.

Hotkey, no extra window

Hey,

a) it would be very very nice if the plugin is able to start a voice-input by pressing a hotkey

b) please no extra window if it's possible..

c) Let the search start like Star Trek!
-> Chrome?
beep beep (and turn of all musik to understand the user correctly)
-> Search for xy / Youtube for yz
beep boop (searching..)

One click from toolbar instead of two?

Option to search from default search engine with one click from the button on the toolbar instead of two (i.e. opening up popup and having to click again)?

A Problem...

Hello Everyone
I Have Google Chrome Browser And Plugin From Google Web Store As Voice Search 1.1.2 And I Have A Question.
Why The Mic Icon Isn't Show Up Anymore On The Search Box On YouTube.com And Other Siets ?
Please Help !!
Thanks

Won't Load When Clicked on

Form some reason when i click on the icon it appears a black square with down arrow and no other icon?

Transcription text entry

A feature that would allow the extension to be used to enter text via dictation. Transcription would be pasted wherever the cursor is placed immediately after it is processed. Perhaps a keyboard button pressed in conjunction with the click on the extension could be used to indicate if a transcription is requested, rather than a search.

red mic not appearing, wont search

ive only had the app a week and its great! but today the red mic stopped appearing when i clicked the blue mic, also the smaller mic has disappeared from my web pages. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and chrome with no success.

Won't work at all mac OS X Lion

Once I installed Lion OS X and added the Boom app from Mac App store I couldn't get Voice Search to work. I made sure sound input was set to internal microphone and the meter indicated the mic is working. I think the issue is incompatibility with Boom app

http://www.globaldelight.com/boom/

Please assist. Thanks

Language Selection

The search language depens on Chrome's language. It should be selected seperatly. For example, I use Chorme in English, but I may be able to set search language to Turkish.

Voice search stopped working

As the title says, super extension voice search stopped working all of a sudden. Any ideas why?
Observations:
When I click the voice search icon (blue mic in toolbar). the pop up window flashes up but i's blank (no mic)
Same thing in the search field of all search engines; no mic on the right side, just blank as though no extension had ever been installed.
Mac microphone working; checked!
Was just beginning to have fun with voice search. Hope there is a fix.
Thanks

Config option for a Single Click Search

What i find really annoying is, that i have to select the search engine, before i want to search. It should be possible to configure a default search engine, that one click on the microphone symbol is enough to start a search.

Mac OS X - script not working

When used your script(Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --enable-speech-input) in the Script Editor this comes up:
SYNTAX ERROR
A unknown token can’t go after this identifier.
and ( Google\ ) is highlighted. When I remove Google\ from the script another "SYNTAX..." comes up with the ( / ) highlighted and so on until the whole script is removed.
Definitely something`s wrong here.
Thanks.

Does not erase the pre-entered text in a box

Hi Guys!
I would like to know if you guys are aware that everytime there is a pre-entered text in a box in grey, like "enter your name" or "please type a movie title" that text is then used after we speak. So for exemple:

  • pre-entered text "type your name"
  • mic button click
  • I say "John"
  • box shows: "type your nameJohn"
    I hope you understand what I mean.

This extension is awesome but become unsable in any of these box's type.

Australian Accent

Plays havoc with the speech-to-text.

For example I tried "Centrelink" - a government agency here.

Each time I got "Send to link" or "Send a link" EVEN when saying each half on its own!

"Centre" = "Send a"/"Send to" ?!

Copy to Clipboard option

Create an additional function to copy the Speech-to-Text result in the computer's clipboard to be pasted later by the user.

Google Docs may be broken

dgd

I am probably not using it the way it was intended... search is okay but everything else... loops up endlessly in google docs.

Voice Search - Version: 1.0.7
Search by speaking.
Google Chrome 13.0.772.0 (Official Build 86192) dev

From the "User reviews" issue tracking system of the future ;)

Not Able to Search via Clicking on The Button

Running: Google Chrome Version 13.0.782.112

When you click on the button to search, the microphone icon pops up, along with the drop-down menu of search engines. When the microphone is clicked, nothing happens (it does NOT turn blue). When you click it 3 times repeatedly, it lights up for a short second, and then disappears.

I am still able to use it all text fields, though.

Голосовой поиск стал только на английском языке.

С 1.08.2013 перестал в goole chrome для windows 7-64 работать голосовой поиск.
Подробно:

  1. Захожу на google.com (или .ru .kz)
  2. Нажимаю на микрофон (вместо Говорите" теперь на английском: "Search by voice")
  3. Появляется окно восприятия голоса.
  4. На русском не понимает, только на английском!

Просьба: Нужно активировать переключение голосового поиска на определенный язык.

The image

I recently tried the voice search, which I think is rad, and now the microphone image is not showing up. Would you know why this is? It won't search. Thanks.

Crash on github.com

Chrome crashes while trying to open github.com with this extension enabled. It shows page for a short time and then tab crashes.

Chrome 10.0.612.3 dev
Does not crash if extension is disabled.

Record device in Linux

Hi! I'm trying to use the extension in Linux. The problem is that I have an advanced external USB card with no software mixer support (al the mix controls are in the own card). Because of this Alsa mixer, kmix (yes, I work with KDE), etc doesn't see any device. I think the plugin should allo to select the alsa device (hw0,0 or hw0,1 or hw1,0 etc) so users with no software mixer can work with the extension too :-).

Option to restrict to search bar

Several websites with small (1-2- character) text fields display microphone icons in every one, obscuring the text input and bringing up Voice when you click anywhere in the field.

An option to restrict the functionality to the search bar, or at least disable it for specific websites, would be helpful.

keyboard command

Would there be some way to implement a keyboard command so the microphone could be activated without having to click on the mic icon everytime? This would possibly help some people out who use keyboard commands exclusively.

don't install the chrome app, "talk to type"

Talk to type has issues with Voice-search by google... Once "talk to type" is installed its microphone and function continue to work even after you delete the app and extension. If an any one knows how to completely get rid of "talk to type" please let me know. thanks

текущие планы по смене языка распознавания

Дорогие разработчики,

Огромное вам спасибо за замечательный плагин. Скажите пожалуйста, планируете ли вы включить в него переключение языка распознавания, если да, то как скоро, если нет, то почему? Я профессиональный программист и переводчик и работаю в Интернете на множестве языков, которые не совпадают с локализацией моего chrome. Хотелось бы, чтобы ваш инструмент позволил мне использовать его в повседневной работе.

С уважением.

Works great on Vista, not on Win 7, why?

Hi there,
This extension works perfectly on my other PC with Vista, but on my main one with 7 it doesn't. Mic is OK, works in all the other apps, but in Chrome I can hear the mic sound, but Voice search bar never turns blue, Can anyone please help?
Thank you!

Microphone icon doesnt appear

Sometimes the microphone icon does not appear in search boxes (such as google) and even when you left click the microphone icon to start searching from scratch. I have ended the process and restarted the process (via the google chrome task manager) and that didnt work. that got annoying so i looked up this issue on the extention page and it said that i might have to add a string to the end of the file location of the shortcut and that got it working but when the browser restarts itself (like after you try to install a third party plugin or a update) it doesnt work... can you please work on a fix that will automatically allow the string that needs to be added onto the end of the file location in the browsers programing itself so it automatically starts working?
