EasyVoice Search

Doesn't work. Opens https://www.google.com/#q=<search terms>, should be /search?q=<search terms>

look spromising but just has a weird search q and never opens it just a google page,,https://www.google.com/#q=hello eg.

Please customize this extension for Edge or Firefox.

Great, but did it stop working lately? My 2 computers fail to navigate to search results although speech transcription is ok. A common issue?

What's happened??? this has stopped working!!! went to use it today 20july2020 (after happily using it for a year or so) and came up with error screen saying no microphone permissions... clicking on anything to do with this extention then just brings up an 'error 404' page... it's gone paws up !!!

I'm curious if you're (the Author of this extension) is sniffing search strings

Nope! If you enable the EVS Engine it does do some basic analysis client side but nothing more than that. The search query is then directly passed to your selected search engine.

GRADE "B-ish" Really should have a 'hotword' Sort of defeats purpose of 'voice search' capability if you have to first click on an icon <sad face>.

Always on voice detection in an extension is actually really hard to do. I've looked at multiple different ways but it too heavily relies on a constant microphone stream to a server. The only way around this is to use a desktop application. You can assign a hotkey to automatically open the extension which makes it a bit easier than clicking the icon. Depending on your operating system you might even be able to bind that hotkey to a voice command.

Only english. If You're looking for other langs, try Multilingual Voice Search

Been searching for a while for a voice search extension that ACTUALLY works, if you're ok with pushing the button each this is perfect. If however you're looking for something more voice only, try: Chromassist; https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromassist-your-personal/macbmapjilnhjmpnnhjodndgfeklcegc?hl=en My only problem with chromassist was it was forcing chrome to draw heavy power, even while chrome wasn't running. I give EasyVoice a 10/10. Does exactly what I want it to.
