A Chrome extension to allow users to use a browser with a voice
This was a project made over a 24 hour period during CUHacking 2018 in Ottawa, Ontario by:
- Ryan Ly
- Stephanie Wang
- Alexa Liaskovski
- James Ying
Once installed, the extension can be activated by pressing the extension's icon in the upper right of the browser window. A few notes about usage:
- At the moment, the extension must be restarted after each command.
- Due to inaccuracies of the voice recognition, if the command does not appear to be working, please restart the extension and try again.
- See below for currently accepted commands.
- Scroll [up/down] - Scrolls the page up or down.
- Go Back/Forward - Goes to back/forward a page (equivalent to the browser's back and forward buttons).
- Click/Press/Find - Clicks a link or button based on a keyword. For example, Click submit will click a button with the text submit, if it exists. If multiple links with the same word exist, activate the extension again and say a number (in the order they appear, i.e. say 3 for the 3rd link).
- Go to [url] - Navigates to specified URL. (e.g. Go to google.com, said as Go to google dot com).
- Search/Find [searchTerm] - Google searches for the specified term. Multiple words are accepted as the search term.
- Input [fieldName] [inputText] - Inputs text into an input field (i.e. Input email example@example.com would enter that email into an email field).
