Control Philips Hue Lights

1. Go to www.meethue.com/api/nupnp to get the IP address of your Hue Bridge.
2. Go to http://<bridge ip address>/debug/clip.html/debug/clip.html
3. For url enter: /api for message body enter: {"devicetype":"jeff"}
Where jeff is the username you want to create.
4. Press POST
5. You will get the message "link button not pressed". So press the big round link button on top of your Hue Bridge.
6. Press POST again.
7. This time you get a username hash similar to 1028d66426293e821ecfd9ef1a0731df . Save the username hash for future requests.

Then create a custom command in Speech Recognition Anywhere:

Phrase: Turn( on)?( the)? living room light(s)?( on)?
Action: http://<bridge ip address>/debug/clip.html;clear_text();/api/<username hash>/lights/1/state;click_keyword(messagebody);{"on":true};click_keyword(put)

I am not a programmer, so I need some help. I want to be able to switch Speech Recognition from English to Spanish and vice versa. Is there a script I can use for this? Any help will be greatly appreciated

June 20, 2017 - From the Editor:
Version 0.98.8 now has the voice command built in "Change the language to spanish or english"

I just purchased and installed your speech software. I have installed it on a Windows Tablet running Windows 10 home (full version).

My only interest in your software is to enable OK Google which I have done and it is working. The problem is OK Google responds and takes me away from the web page an example:

"OK Google navigate to DC", the map page comes up with route shown and Google says "navigating to DC" and the page goes somewhere else.

I have tried this in various ways asking questions etc and everytime Google speaks, your software interprets it and types new pages.

Please advise.

13. Posted By: Jeff - - July 4, 2017, 2:49 pm
Hi Paul Lazar,

Sorry about the problem you are having. It is because the microphone is picking up the speech from your speakers. Try this, in Speech Recognition Anywhere click on Settings and then check Pause "Speech Recognition Anywhere" if audio is playing in a tab. I believe that should solve the problem.

Is there anyway to stop the text from appearing in the upper left hand corner before it is typed in the speech box? Also, is there a way to stop the yellow highlighting and scrolling when text is entered?

15. Posted By: Jeff - - July 26, 2017, 11:36 am
Hello Lola,

There is no way to stop the text from appearing before it is typed into the box. That is how users know that the speech recognition is hearing what they say. I'm not sure by what you mean about the yellow highlighting and scrolling. Do you have an example website and box where this is happening?

Nice software, just what I'm looking for, but unfortunately doesn't quite work for me on ankiweb.net. This site displays a link that I repeatedly click to hear voice prompts. When I try to do this using SRE, the recording starts to play but then I get a 404. I'm having trouble getting the source for the page, but I think what is going on is that the recording is played by a JavaScript snippet which is connected to the link as an onClick attribute. The location specified by the link doesn't really exist, so, e.g., if I right-click on the link and copy the destination to the clipboard and try to load it in another page, I do indeed get a 404. But if I manually click on the link, it works as designed -- i.e., it plays the voice recording and does not try to go to another page.

So I'm not sure of the disconnect here, and unfortunately you won't be able to repro easily without my credentials. If you want to pursue it, I'll give you my creds (and $150 if you make this work on ankiweb).

17. Posted By: Paul LaZar - - August 2, 2017, 9:44 am
Thanks for the info Jeff.

18. Posted By: Jeff - - August 2, 2017, 9:46 am
Hi Nelson,

I think I figured it out. ankiweb.net has another element overlaying the "Play" link with a javascript click event attached to it. So to use your voice and say "Click Play", add this custom command to Speech Recognition Anywhere:

Phrase: Click Play
Action: click_element(jp_container_1)

Or, if you like you can replace "Click Play" in the phrase above with "Press Play".

Hi. You should make an option to hide the labels when speaking. They are highly annoying when not using it, and it keeps trying to detect what im saying.

Another thing that would be geat is to disable speech to text and only ahve it work with commands.

21. Posted By: Jeff - - August 17, 2017, 11:26 am
Hi Kim,

Thanks for the suggestions! I like the idea of being able to disable speech to text and only have it work with commands. But I'm not so sure about hiding the labels when speaking. I think most people would be confused and think that the Speech Recognition is not working because it would show no sign of it working until after they finish talking. Let me think about it and see what I can do.

Hi Kim V,

In version 0.98.9 of Speech Recognition Anywhere I added the following three settings:
*Disable yellow speech bubble (Only final speech will display)
*Disable Speech-To-Text (Only Voice Commands will work)
*Disable Voice Commands (Only Speech-To-Text will work)

I hope that works for you.

Hello!
I am curious what you are using internally for ASR and TTS?
Are you using google's speech API, or built-in browser-specific tools from chrome?
Thanks!
-thomas

26. Posted By: Jeff - - September 28, 2017, 12:39 pm
Hi thomas,

Speech Recognition in Speech Recognition Anywhere is accomplished with the Javascript Web Speech API which at this time only works well in Chrome.
See: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API

TTS is accomplished with the Web Speech API SpeechSynthesis. It seems to work with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari but not IE.
See: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechSynthesis

Hi bodyalive,

You can try to filter profanity with a custom command like the following. I'm not sure how well it will work though:

Phrase: (.*?)(bad|word|list)(.*?)
Action: $1$3

34. Posted By: Jeff - - November 11, 2017, 1:25 pm
Hi Markey,

I have duplicated the problem. It appears that Facebook might have some blocking in place to prevent malware or viruses from sending messages without user permission. I noticed that if I type a space first in the Facebook chat box then it will accept Speech Recognition Anywhere. But saying "Press enter" or "Submit" does not send the message. You have to manually press the enter key.

i'M SORRY this did not work,
i know how to Stop Android's Voice-to-Text from Blocking Swear Words, i wonder if there's a way disable censorship in chrome too.






36. Posted By: Jeff - - November 13, 2017, 11:22 am
Hi bodyalive,

Sorry, I misread your message. I thought you wanted to block profanity.

The web speech api in Chrome used to not filter out profanity but now it does. But I can't find any settings for how to stop it from filtering profanity. You can try the following custom command, but you would have to make a separate command for each swear word:

Phrase: (.*?)(s\*+)(.*?)
Action: $1ship$3

Replace the s in the phrase with the first letter of the swear word for each custom command.

37. Posted By: bodyalive - - November 15, 2017, 9:02 am
Jeff this did the trick!

Since some "bad words" share same first letter i had to use (.*?)(1stletter\*{n})(.*?) to specify one from another.

thank you.

How well does this extension handle peoples names? For instance, I am building a directory for our college professors. I would like to say show Dr. John Doe, and have it pull up his contact information, however some of the professor's names are quite hard to pronounce.

Hi bodyalive,

40. Posted By: Jeff - - November 15, 2017, 2:00 pm
Hi whelb5050,

The speech recognition seems to do really well for common names. Dr. John Doe works good and many other common names. For uncommon names, if it gets it wrong then you could try creating a custom command. For example, here is an uncommon spelling of a name: "Alexus Rodrigues". If I say that name then the speech recognition prints out the common spelling of "Alexis Rodriguez". So assuming I do not have an Alexis Rodriguez in the database I could create this custom command:

Phrase: Alexis Rodriguez
Action: Alexus Rodrigues

I hope that helps,

42. Posted By: Jeff - - November 19, 2017, 11:11 am
Hi Maicon,

I don't know why, but it appears that the Chrome Web Store blocks some countries from buying. Some users have had success by clicking on the Settings button in Chrome Web Store and changing their country to one of the supported countries. See: developer.chrome.com/webstore/pricing

Other users have had success by using a VPN service like HotSpot Shield (also a chrome extension) to change their country temporarily.

44. Posted By: JohnS - - November 20, 2017, 8:10 pm
How do we control capital letters? In the Windows Voice Rec, use UPPERCASE results in WORD ; Capitalize results in Word, same for lowercase and NoCaps. I can't get SR Anywhere to do this.
Also, how to control numeral 1 vs the word or thirteen vs 13 or one thousand eighty seven vs 1087.
It may be the way I speak, but if I say "and" alone, the software takes me to the end of the line but if I say "they went and" it works fine.
I've processed about 1000 lines so far and these are challenges for me. Works very well otherwise, names are fantastic.

Have you tried the custom commands in comments 8 and 9 for playing music? You might be able to come up with a variation of one those commands.

Jeff

47. Posted By: Jeff - - November 21, 2017, 11:55 am
Hi JohnS,

Thank you for your feedback. Speech Recognition Anywhere uses the Web Speech API built-in to Chrome so unfortunately we are somewhat limited by the capabilities that Google has programmed into the speech recognition.

Google's Web Speech API doesn't seem to have an "all caps" or "uppercase" command, so I would have to program it myself to have that capability.

As for numbers. Google seems to like to turn most numbers into numerals instead of words. Probably because they are assuming people are filling out forms or setting calendar events or reminders.

As for saying "and" taking you to the end of the line. I programmed that command because, sometimes when I said "end" by itself the speech recognition thought I was saying "and", and I didn't think anyone would be saying "and" by itself. But I will remove that in the next version so that "and" will print.

Jeff

48. Posted By: Jeff - - November 21, 2017, 11:59 am
Hi JohnS,

You are right. I didn't notice that before. Google's Web Speech API seems to not understand "o'clock". I tried it over and over. I would say "seven o'clock" and it would just print "7".

But I found a very strange workaround. If I say "seven clock" without the "o" then it prints "7 o'clock".

I have to create a command to stop an youtube video, so I tried using the command to close the tab or to press the spacebar, but I'm not managing to make it work, sorry, I don't know much about those things.

50. Posted By: Jeff - - November 21, 2017, 1:58 pm
Hi Maicon,

If you say "Click on pause" or "press pause" on the youtube page then it should pause the video. But if your speakers are too loud or the microphone is too close to the speakers then it may not understand you properly. You can also say "Click on play" or "press play" to start the video again.

Also make sure that the Setting 'Pause "Speech Recognition Anywhere" if audio is playing in a tab'
is not checked. Otherwise Speech Recognition will not work while audio is playing.

Thank you Jeff, your assistance is helping me a lot. It worked but, it works only if you say it in english right? Is it possible to make it work in another language? For example brazilian portuguese.

52. Posted By: Jeff - - November 23, 2017, 3:42 pm
Hi Maicon,

I have been wanting to translate all of the commands into Portuguese. But I don't speak Portuguese. If you would like to help that would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime you can try these custom commands. In youtube there is a play button with an aria-label of "Pause" while a video is playing and it changes to "Play" when the video is paused. To confirm it is the same for your browser, you can go into Developer Tools (CTRL+SHIFT+I) while at youtube, click on the "Console" tab and paste the following statement and then press enter:
document.getElementsByClassName("ytp-play-button")[0]

See if the aria-label says "Pause" when the video is playing and "Play" when the video is paused. Here are the custom commands that you can alter to your liking:

Phrase: Pressione play
Action: click_keyword(play)

Phrase: Pressione pausa
Action: click_keyword(pause)

Hi Maicon,

In Speech Recognition Anywhere if you click on "Commands". I'd like to translate all those commands into Portuguese. If you could send those commands translated to me in an email that would be great. I had someone help me translate just the punctuation section into Portuguese. But I'm not sure if it is completely correct. You could check on that.

Hi Jasmin A.

I'm sorry about the problem. I see the problem myself but it was working just last week. It appears to not be working correctly on pages with iFrames, specifically pages with Google Adsense iFrames. It seems Google has changed some code just recently. I have done some testing and it looks like I will have to make Speech Recognition Anywhere not copy in iFrames. This will cause a problem with a few websites because some websites put a lot of their content in iFrames. But it is the only solution I can think of. I will put a new version up with the bug fix within a few days. Thank you for pointing it out.

63. Posted By: Jeff - - January 3, 2018, 11:02 pm
Hi Jasmine A.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do uppercase for the first character at the moment. It just automatically does uppercase for the first character after punctuation like a period or a question mark. I tried to come up with a custom command for it but the way it is programmed at the moment it doesn't work. I will try to come up with a solution.

Hi Jasmin A.

Thank you for the clarification. It is actually inserting the HTML into the textarea so to actually print the < > characters you have to use the html entity &lt; and &gt; but ; needs to be url encoded to %3B

So the full action would look like:

&lt%3Btext&gt%3B

Hi Jasmin A.

In the latest version of Speech Recognition Anywhere there are number of improvements that you might be interested in. I think I fixed the "copy" command bug. Also created a custom command capitalize_first_letter(text, all_words) which will convert the first letter of text to a capital. If all_words is true then every first letter of every word in text will be converted to a capital. The default is false. For example:

Phrase: capitalize (.*?)

Action: capitalize_first_letter($1, true)

Description: Say "Capitalize hello world" to print "Hello World"

Also created a new command print_text(text) where you can easily print any text including < > ( ) and ;

Thank you for your update.I already test them .
copy , print_text,capitalize_first_letter(text) is working properly .

If possible please add case-sensitive feature because it's cause alot of problems.
-print_text(x=0; ) -> X=0;
-jQuery -> JQuery
-email@domain.com -> Email@domain.com //weird
-username (case-sensitive) -> Username

Some web application need case-sensitive .

By the way, at the moment Speech Recognition Anywhere is designed to not capitalize on html inputs if it detects that the input type is email, search or password or if the input name is username, email or login.

Detect input name is not working on many websites.
Here're my suggestions.
1.Custom command print_text able to do 'case-sensitive' and not affected by global settings.

2.Disable option settings won't completely fix the issue.
Use toggle function. Do it by default before send text out. Make dropdown options in settings [lower,sentence,raw]

Google's Web Speech API is random capitalize english word in some languages settings.
I say 'you kill my dog'
result: You Kill My Dog.[1]

Create command that will toggle the letter case settings.
lettercase(text,lower)//all lowercase
lettercase(text,sentence)//Convert to sentence case fix this issue[1].
lettercase(text,raw)//Default .Do not fix the letter case.
I say:'lower no'
It'll give me 'no' and every first letter will be lowercase until I use another function.

Phrase:lower(*.$)Action:lettercase($1,lower)

Since lowercase will be used often and user switch to sentence case often .toLowerCase() is not suitable.Toggle is b

Hi Jasmin A.

Thank you for the suggestions. In order for it to detect the input name it has to be written like this in the html form:
<input name="email"> or <input type="email">

But I think I found a temporary workaround to preserve case for the first letter. If you use the html entity decimal version of the lower case letter and then url encode the semicolon. So to print x=5;

Action: &#120%3B=5%3B

There is a list of html entity decimal codes here: www.freeformatter.com/html-entities.html

Hello, can you disable the auto-adjustment for the mic volume? Or maybe better, give users the option to toggle it.

79. Posted By: Jeff - - January 11, 2018, 11:05 am
Hi Maicon,

Speech Recognition Anywhere does not do any adjusting of the mic volume. It may be your sound card or Windows Settings. Here are some Windows Settings instructions to try. These instructions are for Windows 7, so it may be different:

1. Right-click the Speaker icon in the Windows taskbar and select "Recording Devices".
2. Click on the "Communications" tab.
3. For the question: "When Windows detects communications activity:", answer with: "Do nothing".
4. Click "Apply".

Test the microphone and see if it has stopped auto adjusting. If not, then you can try these steps:

1. Right-click the Speaker icon in the Windows taskbar and select "Recording Devices".
2. Make sure the "Recording" tab is selected.
3. Click on your Microphone and the click "Properties".
4. Click the "Advanced" tab.
5. In the "Exclusive Mode" section, uncheck the following option: "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".

81. Posted By: Jeff - - January 18, 2018, 10:00 am
Hello teja,

Try this custom command to type in all capital letters:

Phrase: (?:uppercase|all caps) (.*?)

Action: $1.toUpperCase()

Description: Say "Uppercase hello world" to print "HELLO WORLD"

Then you can say "Uppercase hello world" or "All caps hello there".

Hi Wilfred,

What country are you in? Apparently Google limits some extensions in some countries. If that is the case the suggestions are to click on "Settings" > "Location" at the Chrome Webstore and change the country to one of the fully supported countries then it worked. For supported countries see: developer.chrome.com/webstore/pricing

Other users have had success by using a VPN service like HotSpot Shield (also a chrome extension) to change their country temporarily.

Hello, I have severe neuropathy in my hands so extremely grateful for any and all voice recognition software.

Is there a way to get this work with Google Hangouts?
when I do it it types into my search email bar also...

Also is it possible to complete forms online with radio buttons as options and a few simple number fields? I have to do data entry at work and this would be amazing, life-changing if it works!!

THANK YOU



85. Posted By: Holly - - February 23, 2018, 9:47 pm
I'm having a similar issue with Google Sheets. it types into the name of the sheet ... Like when I type "4" into a cell, it just renames the sheet

I'm not even sure if what I'm asking is feasible.... But I'm buying the extension regardless. It's the best one out there. Thank you!!



86. Posted By: Jeff - - February 24, 2018, 1:46 am
Hi Holly,

If the website uses a properly made html form then you should be able to use Speech Recognition Anywhere on it with no problem. For example: If they label the radio buttons correctly to select gender then you should be able to say "Click on female" and it should check it.

However, some forms are not labeled properly. One way around this is to say "Next" and "Previous" to navigate between fields. Then when the correct radio button is highlighted you can say "Click" or "Check".

As for Google Hangouts, they have blocked sending unless you press the enter key with the keyboard. They have done this to try and prevent malware from sending messages without your permission. If you find it is typing speech in the email search bar as well then you might want to use the direct website at hangouts.google.com/.

With Google Sheets, the only way I have found to be able to do speech-to-text in a cell is to double-click each cell first.

87. Posted By: Holly - - February 28, 2018, 8:00 pm
Entering data with the forms was actually my top priority anyways. The forms I'm going to complete are created by Duke University so I would think they have correct HTML, phew!

I completely forgot about hangouts.google.com. I will switch to that instead of using it in my email url. I hold my phone up to my mouth all the time like a walkie-talkie to use Hangouts.... And sometimes I just want to sit at just the computer without a phone

Yes, it's going to be extremely useful. A few years ago I looked for something like this and I couldn't find anything at all. The custom scripts sound really cool too. I have a connective tissue disorder (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) so I'll mention this to anyone with hand problems, fibromyalgia type things. Also it's useful for someone with RSI type injuries... I posted on a message board for years called neurotalk.

Windows has really dropped the ball on anything related to speech commands.

Thank you for the thorough reply. Have a good week

91. Posted By: Jeff - - March 21, 2018, 5:20 pm
Hi Jay,

Unfortunately, commands for pressing keys do not work well unless the website is programmed to actually listen to keypresses. It doesn't work with many websites. Have you tested keypress commands on the website to see if they work? I will try to add a shift keypress in the next version. Do you have a link to the website where I can test it to make sure it works?

Most users don't have a problem with latency. For me it is less than 1 second. It might be a problem with a slow Internet connection or a slow route to google's web speech servers.

Hi, I can't get custom commands to work. I tried as an example, Phrase: cheesecake Action: cheezecake, and clicked enable. It still writes "cheesecake". I think you need a few more instructions for this - it looks self-explanatory, but in reality it isn't. Also, most people don't know what regular expressions are (although I do). The whole thing feels like something that you are aiming at developers rather than casual users. The speech recog is the best i've found at this price level, or anything close to this price, so well done there.

95. Posted By: d n - - March 27, 2018, 7:19 am
hi, just found custom commands don't work in the local typing window, only in other windows. This is the one I prefer to use. Perhaps you could add this feature? Thanks

96. Posted By: d n - - March 29, 2018, 5:47 pm
Hi, can you possibly make the fixed commands optional? I at least need to delete the annoying "Play" command. I cannot believe there is any use to this, and it is very irritating when I say any sentence starting with "Play". It suddenly tries to direct me away to another website. This must presumably help some people a bit, and annoy other people like me a lot. If it were optional, others could still use it. Thanks, D.

97. Posted By: Jeff - - March 29, 2018, 5:58 pm
Hi d n,

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, the textbox on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab was meant to be a history box of what a user actually speaks. It was not meant for editing. But I have gradually been adding editing and punctuation to it as users are trying to use it instead of an online notepad. I will keep in mind what you said and try to add custom commands text replacement to it in a future update.

As for custom commands and regular expressions: Users don't have to use regular expressions. They can just type phrases. But I have made a simple but powerful regular expression tutorial at www.seabreezecomputers.com/speech/#custom for those users that want to take a little time to make more powerful custom commands.

Hi d n,

I'm sorry for the annoyance you are having with the built-in "Play" command. You can stop custom commands in "Settings" by checking the box for "Disable Voice Commands (Only Speech-To-Text will work)". Or if you just want to disable the "Play" command you can create a custom command that will override it like this:

Phrase:
Play (.*?)
Action:
Play $1

100. Posted By: d n - - April 2, 2018, 5:19 pm
Hi Jeff, thanks for the feedback - that's awesome, in fact - I didn't realise custom commands overrode the inbuilt commands. Note that "Play" is not a custom command, it's a built in one. So it would be great if that was a custom command, then people could just switch that off in an instant, by unchecking the "enable" box. But for me, the current solution is fine. Much appreciated.

101. Posted By: Jeff - - April 2, 2018, 10:45 pm
Hi Jay,

There is now a new and improved custom command for keypresses:

keypress(key, ctrl, alt, shift)

So for shift+space you can try this: keypress(32, false, false, true)

But it will only work if the webpage is properly listening for keypresses.

hey, wow, just checked it out

thankyou!

although in the meantime I have found a good online text editor with a simple interface. It is www.editpad.org/ which is the simplest I can find. So although I very much appreciate the change, and it gives me the simple fallback option, I should add that, if others have the reverse problem (and for some reason need the inbuilt window as a record) it would not affect me greatly at the moment. But I do prefer this system - thanks, because I have a fallback option if I need it.

Thanks also for taking time out to contact me. I will definitely recommend your app, because the other options (dragon naturally speaking) are getting much more inconvenient/expensive and gradually becoming unusable.

Hi Maicon,

The custom commands are still working. It may be that you created a custom command near the top that is incorrectly formed and is blocking other commands from being recognized. Try disabling some of the commands near the top. You can also send me your commands and I can take a look at them.

Hello. I'm still not understanding what's happening here. The commands are correct. It's a say command so for example say(hello word.) So I've changed to say(hello word|hello word|) I'm not sure why, but when there's more than one answer for the question it works... Anyway, I have something else to question. After playing a song on youtube, the Virtual Assistant stops working. I need it working back again. at least after the song finishes playing. So I thought about closing the tab. But my language is portuguese. So I tried creating a custom command for closing the tab. And I didn't achieve success on that. Is there any way to make virtual assistant work inside youtube? If not, how to create a custom command to close the youtube tab? (because it needs to be in portuguese and not the built-in english one). Thanks in advance! You always give us a great support!

108. Posted By: Jeff - - April 17, 2018, 10:44 pm
Hi Maicon,

The action say(hello word.) works for me. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Maybe the Phrase.

As for Virtual Assistant not working in Youtube, there could be a few things to check. Virtual Assistant mode is designed to work only when the SRA tab is active or a tab with http://google.com is active. Also, if you have 'Pause "Speech Recognition Anywhere" if audio is playing in a tab' checked then SRA may not be able to hear you if there is another video playing. You may want to turn off "Autoplay" on the youtube page.

To close the tab in Portuguese try this command:
Phrase: Aba fechada
Action: switch_tabs(close)

To create your own Virtual Assistant command try this:
Phrase: Google,? (.*?)
Action: https://www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=$1

Then say: "Google what time is it"

Hi, just kind of stumbled upon your speech recognition as I have been searching for something to replace Dragon Naturally Speaking medical for my medical dictation which requires Windows PC and I'm trying to simplify my personal and business life with Google products, Chrome and android across-the-board.

I'm wondering with the full version and the custom commands are they Unlimited?, and is there any limit to the characters?

Also is your application available on Android tablets and phones?, and also is it available and functional on a Chromebook as well?,

It's the best recognition right off the bat with medical terminology for some reason, not sure how you did that but great job!

Thanks in advance for your response, Daniel

Hi Daniel Sellinger,

Thank you for the information. I hope I can answer your questions. In the Full version the custom commands are unlimited. I believe that there is also no limit to the characters. But I hear that a browser will crash if you put about 1,000,000 characters.

Speech Recognition Anywhere also works on Chromebook and many other computers that have a Chrome or Chromium browser. However it does not work on tablets or mobile phones. There are no Android apps for it. Maybe in the future.

Please explain how to use this feature and If I need to make a custom command for sleep
Thanks Ray

114. Posted By: Jeff - - April 24, 2018, 8:36 pm
Hi nexus2014,

There is no command to make SRA go to sleep manually. If you have a wake up phrase set then it will listen to what you say for 2 seconds after it hears the wake up phrase. If there is 2 seconds of silence then it will wait for the wake up phrase again. If you check the box "Only require wake up phrase again if there is no speech for more than 20 seconds" then it will wait for 20 seconds of silence before looking for the wake up phrase again.

The stop dictation command will stop SRA from inputting speech-to-text in input boxes on websites, but it still allows you to use commands such as "Switch tabs".

Hi Daniel,

It could be that one or more of the custom commands are typed incorrectly. Can you export your custom commands and send them to me?

As for setting which microphone is in use, that can be different with each version of the OS. It would be easiest to disconnect the microphone while Speech Recognition Anywhere is off. Then try the program again. Or you can try following the instructions here:

118. Posted By: Jeff - - April 30, 2018, 10:32 pm
Hi Daniel,

That is good to know that it worked. The best way to "train" Speech Recognition Anywhere is to create a custom command that replaces the word with the correct word. For example, if I spelled my name the British way (Geoff) I could use this custom command to replace Jeff with Geoff:

Phrase:
(.*?)Jeff(.*?)

Action:
$1Geoff$2

Hello dpg,

If you begin a sentence with the word play then it plays a video on YouTube with that title. To stop this from happening in speech recognition anywhere click on custom commands and and uncheck the command with the phrase that starts with the word play or erase the phrase that starts with play and leave it blank.

131. Posted By: Jeff - - June 13, 2018, 6:24 pm
Hi jch,

That is a good question. I just tested Google Slides and in Present Mode if I say "Press right arrow" then it goes to the next slide. If I say "press left arrow" then it goes to the previous slide. You can also create a custom command like this:

Phrase: (Go to )?(the )?Next Slide
Action: keypress(39)

That custom command will allow you to say "Next slide" or "Go to next slide" or "Go to the next slide". For previous slide you can create this custom command:

Phrase: (Go to )?(the )?Previous Slide
Action: keypress(37)

Hi, for some reason, I can't get the speech recognition to handle multiple matches for text replacement. That is, if I use a regular expression, it seems to only be able to do one match per string. Is there a way to handle multiple matches? I mean, the output from one regex match would then get passed down the line to the next regex.

134. Posted By: Jeff - - July 22, 2018, 8:47 pm
Hi d n,

It is not designed to do that. One phrase can only match one custom command at a time. But if you would like to give an example of the sentence you are speaking and the output you want it to have then maybe you could create one custom command that could replace both words.

Dictation anywhere software is the very best that I've used within Chrome. I'm a dragon professional individual user. A professional user. I use it all day long for my work. Before I got into using Dragon Naturally Speaking. I was looking for a Chrome extension like yours. I used to use a Chromebook. I actually quit using Chromebook because I need it real dictation which was not available at the time. Your extension would have been out back then I would have easily paid you $100 for it.

Have you thought about connecting your extension, or at least the settings that you have used on the Google speech recognition algorithm to a keyboard on mobile. there really is not quality dictation available on Android. It needs to be connected to a keyboard and not its individual app. If you can do it in an individual app like a notebook or a notepad, adding a word count feature would be great.

Keep up the good work. If I move back to using Chromebook I will definitely buy your extension

Hi Maicon,

Virtual Assistant is still answering with voice for me. You might need to restart the computer or maybe there is another extension or program that is causing a conflict. Or it could be a Chrome or OS setting that is causing a conflict.

I'll try to add a confirmation beep after a phrase is recognized in a future update.

Hello Corina,

For some reason Google limits some extensions in some countries. If that is the case the suggestions are to click on "Settings" > "Location" at the Chrome Web store and change the country to one of the fully supported countries then it worked. For supported countries see: developer.chrome.com/webstore/pricing

Other users have had success by using a VPN service like HotSpot Shield (also a chrome extension) to change their country temporarily. Jeff

Hey thanks, for the update with the new feature, works like a charm to me. And I'm still not getting voice response from the virtual assistant mode, I'm using brazilian portuguese, but I've also tested with US english and no answer, but it still shows me the answer on the screen anyway. I'm not sure what's happening here. I need it to answer with voice, because I use it in an voice app where users give it a command, and it gives the answer by voice.

144. Posted By: Maicon - maiconpinheiro@zoho.com - September 13, 2018, 2:10 pm
Custom commands with the "say" command works perfectly fine. Answering with voice okay.

145. Posted By: Jeff - - September 13, 2018, 5:09 pm
Hi Maicon,

The Virtual Assistant Mode speaks good for me. I wonder if you turned off the speaking of results for Google. Try to do the opposite of this video:
youtu.be/kNTSc_E6r8g

Let me know if that starts it working again. Make sure you check "Speak answers for voice search".

Also, I'm wondering if it is because you have Google set to a different language that it doesn't want to speak.

I just got your extension and tried to repeat what you did on your video. When I said open google.Com it worked just like in your video, but when I said what is the weather forecast, I got the following error message

"The message port closed before a response was received.. NOTE: In a new tab you must reload the web page you were trying to use speech recognition on before this extension will work on it."

I tried reloading the page and get the same error message. I tried closing Chrome and re launching it and always get the same error message. I really want this to work. Please help. Thank you.

147. Posted By: Jeff - - September 14, 2018, 9:44 pm
Hi Bill,

The last time someone had that error it was because another extension had changed something in Chrome and was causing a problem. You will probably need to try disabling or removing other extensionst. After removing another extension you will probably need to restart Chrome though before testing Speech Recognition Anywhere again.

If it still won't work, as a last resort you may need to reset Chrome to default which will remove all your cookies and settings and extensions. To reset Chrome you can go to the Chrome menu in the upper-right corner and then click on Settings, the scroll down and click on Advanced and then scroll all the way down to Reset and clean up and click on Restore settings to their original defaults and then click on Reset Settings.

I've watched the video, and the settings are correct, but it doesn't speak, even if I use the google website (clicking in the mic at the search bar) BUT, I think there's a really weird bug:

1.I went to this settings page and then clicked "save", (because the setting was already correct) still, nothing happens.

2. I went to the settings page and clicked "cancel", it returns to the results page and speaks! (what the...)

So, when I ask something again, no answer, but if I click settings then cancel, it answers the question. Super weird.

I have no idea how to fix this, I think I will stop using this program for a while, untill some solution come into my mind.

Hi Maicon,

If you have tried everything you can think of and it still does not work then it seems that Chrome has been corrupted by some other extensions and websites. You may need to reset Chrome to default which will remove all cookies and settings and extensions.

Hi

Is it possible to use commands in other languages?
So that I could say "Druck Schicken" in german instead of "Click submit" in english?

159. Posted By: Jeff - - October 6, 2018, 7:55 pm
Hi kejsaren,

If you change the speech recognition language to German and then click on "Commands" then you can see all the commands that are available in German. I think right now you can say, "Klicken einreichen" to submit a form.

You might be able to say "Klicken Schicken" or "Drücken Schicken", but only if the button says "Schicken" on it. If the button says "Submit" then you could create a custom command like the following:
Phrase: Drück Schicken
Action: click_keyword(submit)

168. Posted By: Jeff - - November 26, 2018, 7:57 pm
Hi gary,

It still works in Google Docs. The only thing that I can think of is that another extension may be conflicting or may have changed settings in Chrome. You may need to remove some extensions and then restart Chrome and test again.

As a last resort, you may need to reset Chrome to default which will remove all your cookies and settings and extensions. To reset Chrome you can go to the Chrome menu in the upper-right corner (3 dots) and then click on Settings, then scroll down and click on "Advanced" and then scroll all the way down to Reset and clean up and click on "Restore settings to their original defaults" and then click on "Reset Settings". After you have reset Chrome then sign in to Chrome with your Google account. Then reinstall Speech Recognition Anywhere at: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speech-recognition-anywhe/kdnnmhpmcakdilnofmllgcigkibjonof

Hi water2wyne,

When you say you can't use it in Word documents do you mean that you can't use it in the Microsft Word Program? Speech Recognition Anywhere is a Chrome extension and can only work with websites in Chrome. It will not work with any programs outside of Chrome.

You can use it in Chrome with Word Online at office.live.com/start/Word.aspx but it is a little buggy. You need to manually press the Enter key for new paragraphs. Or you can use it with Google Docs at docs.google.com where you can say "New paragraph" to get a new line.

Can you shutdown your computer and then restart it and try again? If that does not work then can you let me know what Operating System you have (Windows/Mac/Linux) and verison?

Resetting Chrome usually fixes that problem. But there might be some programs in your Operating System that are causing a problem or it might be corrupted.

The wolfram alpha trick to get the answer spoken back to you doesn't work for me. Maybe W.A changed something internally? I've even signed up for their API and gotten the response in plain text but I just can't seem to get the computer to read the result aloud back to me. Any advice?

177. Posted By: Jeff - - December 30, 2018, 6:18 pm
Hi Reg,

You are right. Thank you for letting me know. The problem appears to be with the latest update of Chrome. The programmers of Chrome have been trying to stop websites from playing audio without the users permission, so in the lateset version they disabled speechSynthesis. But they messed up because it never asks the user if they want to hear the audio or not, it just blocks it. On the wolfram alpha website if you enable developer console you should see this error it when it tries to speak:

[Deprecation] speechSynthesis.speak() without user activation is no longer allowed since M71, around December 2018. See www.chromestatus.com/feature/5687444770914304 for more details

To fix it, to the left of the wolfram alpha website address in the address bar should be a little lock symbol 🔒. Click on the lock symbol and then click on "Site Settings". Scroll down and next to "Sound" click on the down arrow and select "Allow".

Hi Dale,

You can print parenthesis in the Action field of a custom command in two ways. You can use %28 and %29 as in this example:

Action: %28this is inside%29

Or you can use the print_text() command as in this example:

Action: print_text((this is inside))

In a future version you will be able to say open parenthesis and close parenthesis.

Hi Jeff,

I love this program, its amazing! I'm so proud of myself because not only did I go on Twitter and sent a Tweet without pressing any keys, I also managed to send a private DM, once again without pressing a single key!

Although I don't understand at all the custom commands and if I'm supposed to say out loud everything, I'm sure it will click into place soon!

There is one program/application I've not been able to get it to work in though, and that is the chat/typing part of my Discord. As that is a program I use often, is it that I'm doing something wrong or will SRA only work in the web version of Discord (or not at all?) Its no biggie if it doesn't work in Discord because I can use it on You Tube, Twitter and Facebook which are the apps I use the most. Happy New Year Jeff! Nicky xx

Heh Jeff,

Sorry to bother you again (but at least both issues are together. BTW I did get the program to work in the web app of Discord, just not the desktop program.

My other issue is, for however hard I try, I can't get the program to read something out loud to me. could you tell me the exact command for 'read highlighted text', 'read highlighted paragraph' or 'read page' etc as I don't understand the custom commands. TYI Nicky xxx

187. Posted By: Jeff - - January 8, 2019, 10:28 am
Hi Speedybird,

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you are able to get SRA to work well with most of your web apps. Yes, you are right, SRA will only work with web versions in Chrome because Chrome extensions cannot work outstide of Chrome.

I'm not sure why the speech-to-text is not working for you. I wonder if Chrome is blocking the audio for some reason. If you go to "Settings" in SRA and click on the "Test" button under "Text-To-Speech Settings" does it say anything? If the "Test" button is disabled then try chaning the "Rate" slider first and then press the "Test" button.

Some of the commands are:
"Read page" (That will read the current screen or page of information that you can currently see in the view.
"Read article" (Will read the whole web site from top to bottom.
"Read paragraph" (Will attempt to read the first paragraph at the top of the current view)

Hi Jeff

Many thanks for your reply and your continued support for SRA. I am dictating this message on my computer (in gmail). (hence the awful punctuation I have yet to get the hang of..I typed this part, will become apparent why below)
‌Yes, that makes perfect sense! It's only works on web apps. that's no problem for me as I'm quite happy to use apps.
‌So, with regards to reading out text to me, I managed to get the program to read all your email to me so I previously must have been doing something wrong.
‌It seems now that the only command I cannot get to work is 'read highlighted/selected text?'I tried it on your email and I still can't get it to work. Have you got any more tips I could perhaps try?

Finally, I've looked everywhere for the command for brackets=( ). Do you give them another name?
This program has already proven to be a 'life saver' for me. Being disabled and bed bound causes me problems in reaching over to my laptop. You, Sir, are wonderful!

Hi Speedybird,

You found a bug! The "Read" commands are newer commands and the "Read selected text" command had a bug causing it not to work. Thank you for letting us know. It has been fixed with the latest update. You may need to restart Chrome for the latest version to install.

As for when Twitter has a box open, try the command "Read Notification" to read it.

Open parenthesis (
Close parenthesis )
Open bracket [
Close bracket ]

Hi again Jeff

HAHA If anyone was going to find a 'bug' it had to be me! (Its a wonder I didn't cause it in the first place) Thank you so much for fixing/updating it so quickly!

Thank you for explaining how to use a Twitter box and also how to give a command for brackets/parenthesis. In the UK, in general speech, we would use the word 'brackets' for ( ). Although I studied A Level English at college, we would never have used the word 'parenthesis'

I took this from an article online, it explains my confusion:-

'In addition to referring to the class of all types of brackets, the unqualified word bracket is most commonly used to refer to a specific type of bracket: in modern American usage, this is usually the square bracket and in modern British usage, this is usually the round bracket.'

Once again, thank you for your wonderful support. I appreciate it so very much!

Hi Speedybird,

You're welcome! Thank you for the interesting information about UK english grammar and brackets. I didn't realize that you were in the UK. Yes, as you found, here in America, we say parentheses for () and brackets for []

We also say curly brackets for {} but I also read that they are called braces in the US, however I never really hear them referred to as braces. By the way, don't try to write curly brackets with Speech Recognition Anywhere. It is not programmed to do those at the moment.

dictation(stop) means to turn off speech-to-text.

Or on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab click on "Settings" and then uncheck "Disable Speech-To-Text (Only Voice Commands will work)".

Hi Jeff, Thx for creating this tool. I am mostly utilizing the tool to look up definitions for college/homework. I noticed within one of the YouTube tutorials, there is an audible voice that can actually read out loud. I checked my speakers and volume level ect.. I want to hear, ie: "The temperature is.." How do I get this feature? I would really like the definition read out loud. Similar to when I search a word on my android device.
Thanks

197. Posted By: Jeff - - January 25, 2019, 10:49 am
Hi Joshua,

There are a few ways you can get it to speak outloud.

1. When you purchase the full edition of Speech Recognition Anywhere you can check "Virtual Assistant Mode" in "Settings". Then if your current tab is Google.com or the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab then whatever you ask will be sent to Google's assistant. Say something like "What is the tempature?"

2. You can also create your own custom command for Google like this:
Phrase: Google (.*?)
Action: https://www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=$1

Then say something like: "Google what is the tempature?"

3. If you want Wolfram Alpha to answer for you then try this custom command:
Phrase: Wolframs*Alpha (.*?)
Action: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$1;speak(Result.img[0])

Then say something like "Wolfram Alpha what is the tempature?"

Has it worked before on this computer with the network error? What operating system are you using? What usually works for most people that get the network error is to reset Chrome according to these instructions: support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214

I am not sure what to suggest if that does not work. Ther could be other software installed that is causing a conflict. Maybe antivirus or firewall software.

Action: 5551231234

Then if you say "Enter my phone number" then it will print the number you put in the action field.

Speech Recognition Anywhere allows to set up a shortcut key at chrome://extensions/shortcuts for switching off the extension. The hotkey must be in the form of “Alt + a letter” or “Ctrl + a letter”. So I would like to create a voice command that switches off the extension using the keypress(key, ctrl, alt, shift) command. I have experienced with keypress(r, false, true), and keypress(114, false, true) and keypress(r, true), but none of them work. When calling it, the extension realizes that it is a command, but it doesn’t send the keys (executes the command). Of course, when doing by hand the hotkey works with no problem. Thank you.

205. Posted By: Jeff - - April 16, 2019, 9:41 am
Hi Paizs,

Chrome does not allow those keypresses to be sent at the system level. Chrome only sends it to the current webpage. Try this action instead:
switch_tabs(speech recognition anywhere);();switch_tabs(close)

Unfortunately, it will also switch tabs. But that is the closest I can get at the moment.

Hi Jeff,
It works. It may switch tabs depending on the number of tabs open and the position of tabs. But I can live with that.
Thank you for your help.

No. Speech Recognition Anywhere cannot run an AutoHotKey script. It can only do scripting for websites within Chrome as explained here: seabreezecomputers.com/speech/#custom

As far as I see your key pressing commands (like backspace(), spacebar() ) send keys at the system level, so they could be used to create shortcuts for running autohotkey scripts. Clearly, though, one would not use those keys for such purpose. So, it would be nice if you consider creating a key pressing command for an “unimportant” key like NumLock in a future version.
Thanks
Laszlo

Hi Seabreeze,

Liking your speech recognition. Almost have us sold.

We are a builder and our estimating tools are web-based. Is there a way to navigate to the text box below www.dropbox.com/s/vcooxct0wdh9bje/Capture.PNG?dl=1

I have tried but it jumps up to the top box. In addition, can we customize the commands e.g. say open bracket 6 + 3 close bracket x 2? Seems that parenthesis is quite a long word and isn't fast to say. Same with decimals would rather say point.

215. Posted By: Jeff - - May 1, 2019, 1:50 pm
Hi Adrian,

Unfortunately, I can't tell from a picture whether or not there is a way to navigate to that field. I would have to see an actual website example. Usually by saying "Next" or "Previous" the focus will switch fields forwards or backwards. There might be other options as well. You can also try saying "Press tab 2 times" to move two fields forward.

I think the confusion with the brackets is the difference between American English and British/Australian English. In American English brackets are always [ ]

Since, "open bracket" and "close bracket" are already reserved for [ ], you can try these custom commands to say "first bracket" or "last bracket" to print ( )

Phrase: \bfirst bracket\b
Action: (

Phrase: \blast bracket\b
Action: )

As for saying point for a decimal. It works for me. If I say "fifteen point five" then it prints 15.5
Is it not doing that for you?

Jeff

Hi Jeff be confused on how to set up the back command, I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

217. Posted By: Paul - - May 5, 2019, 8:08 am
When using the backspace command I find it goes back to its original place and I'm unsure what I need to put in the "Action" box

218. Posted By: Jeff - - May 6, 2019, 10:35 am
Hi Paul,

I'm sorry, but the backspace command may not be very handy except in rare cases. If you just say backspace it will erase the last letter. But then when you say the next phrase the program will detect that it should put a space. So the backspace may not accomplish what you want. If you say "Backspace 3 times" then it will erase the last three letters. If you are creating a custom command then you would put backspace() in the Action field to backspace one letter. Or backspace(3) to backspace three letters.

I currently have a custom command where I say the word CHEVRON and it does a carriage return 1x (enters a new line) then autotypes ">> " which is what I want. But I can't get it to recognize the next word I speak as the beginning of new sentence. It won't capitalize the next first word, after my carriage return + ">> ". I tried creating something using the capitalize_first_letter($1, false) but I can't get it to work right. HERES WHAT I HAVE THAT DOES WORK-------
Phrase: chevron
Action: enter_key(1);>>;spacebar(1)

WHAT I'VE TRIED TO ADD THAT DOES NOT WORK------
Phrase: chevron
Action: enter_key(1);>>;spacebar(1);capitalize_first_word(.*?)
Action: enter_key(1);>>;spacebar(1);capitalize_first_word(text, false)
Action: capitalize_first_word(.*?);enter_key(1);>>;spacebar(1)

Hoping you can help me. Thanks. Jen


220. Posted By: Jeff - - May 16, 2019, 11:12 am
Hi divinions,

Try this command:
Phrase: chevron ?(.*?)
Action: enter_key(1);>> ;capitalize_first_letter($1)

Then you will have to say it in one statement like: "Chevron how are you" and it should print:
>> How are you

Or if you want to say it in two statements then you will have to make a phrase that capitalizes the first letter like this:
Phrase: (.*?)?(capitalized?) (.*?)
Action: $1;capitalize_first_letter($3, true)

Then you can say "Capitalize how are you" at any time and it should print:
How are you

Hi Sean,

I don't know why the page is loading again. I used the command and it worked for me. The only thing I can think of is that maybe it is taking a while for the Google maps page to completely load on your browser so maybe it is trying to close the side panel before it is loaded. You can try adding more semicolons ;; Each one will have a pause of half a second. So maybe:

https://www.google.com/maps/search/$1/@42.881086,-94.7757743,3.56z;;;;;click_keyword(Collapse side panel)

Hi Linda,

You have a custom command with (?.) in it. That is an invalid regular expression.
? is a special character in regular expressions to match what is before it one or none times. But there is nothing in front of the ? so it is invalid. What are you trying to do?

I'm also facing issues with reading, I wanted some sort of voice command, which reads the main article, The reader you have built in starts from top panel, which has home, and other hyperlinks, tts reader reads all of it, then comes to main body. (Something like google voice assistant reader that reads first para of an article on a website would be great)

Hi Speedybird,

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I can help you but I have a couple of suggestions you can try. You can try finding an extension that blocks ads or an extension that shows web pages in Reader mode all the time.

As for the tts, have you tried saying, "Read article" or "Read paragraph"? Also you might want to check "Simple Mode (Turns off verbose reading of ARIA roles and Tag names like "button" and "hyperlink")"
at the bottom of the Settings.

I'm sorry but I do not know for clicking on second/third/fourth link in google search results. I just say "Click on 'title of link' "

For image results you can try this custom command:
Phrase: Image number (.*?)
Action: click_element(rg.img[$1])

But you have to remember that Image number 0 is the first image, and Image number 1 is the second image. Then you can say "Escape" twice to close the image.

I'm sorry but I still don't understand. However, on your phrase (.?) would just match one character. So I think you want to change your phrase to use (.*?) like this:

Phrase: (index|summit|Meeting) (.*?)

That will match all the words you say after index|summit|meeting

Hi Jeff,
How do I press F11 key or Printscreen key with voice command

248. Posted By: Jeff - - May 20, 2019, 6:55 pm
Hi Shawn,

Chrome extensions can only send keypresses on the website level not the system level. If you are trying to do F11 for Full screen then it will not work because it is system level and also Chrome only allows full screen with a user gesture such as with the mouse or keyboard. Print Screen key is also system level for copy screen to clipboard, so it will not work either. If you have a website that is listening for F11 then you could use keypress(44) and if you have a website listening for Print Screen key then you could use keypress(122). But I don't know of any websites listening for those keys.

I have not heard of this problem before. Do you have a link to a website where this is happening? If this is happening on many different websites then it sounds like there might be a custom command that is written incorrectly or maybe another extension is causing a conflict. In that case, the only solution I can think of trying is a Chrome reset which will set all Chrome settings to default and erase all extensions. Then you can reinstall the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension.

Hi teeke,

That is not part of Speech Recognition Anywhere. It does not do translating into other languages. It also does not connect to any other services. It only uses Google's Web Speech API. It may be that your Chrome browser has another extension installed that is causing this issue. Also make sure that the Language in Speech Recognition Anywhere is set to your correct language. Click on "Settings" and use the drop down box next to "Language".

You might want to do a Chrome reset. It will remove all extensions and Chrome settings. Then you can reinstall Speech Recognition Anywhere. The instructions for a Chrome reset are at support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214

Furthermore, you may also want to do a full virus scan and malware scan on your computer.

In the meantime can you tell me how to disable certain commands in particular the play command, because every time I use the word play or something similar in a sentence it just opens up YouTube and starts play a song which sounds like the next few words. for instance after typing the word play in the previous sentence it opened up YouTube and played this song "Amy Shark - You Think I Think I Sound Like God (Lyric Video)" because I heard the words sounds like. Any help will be appreciated it is driving me nuts.

Can you go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and then go to Developer Tools in Chrome by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I or clicking on the Chrome Menu and going to More tools > Developer tools. Then copy and paste any error messages shown there or send a screenshot. Maybe we can figure something out.

Hi Jeff, first of all I want to thank you for making this amazing software.

It really has made my life much easier.
It recognizes what I'm trying to say about 95% of the time, and it's much better than more expensive options such as Dragon dictation. At $19.99, this software is a bargain.

I just have one question for you. I was wondering if you have any plans with regards to improving speech recognition accuracy and also reducing time delay/latency between phrase and action in the future updates.

Thanks again!

283. Posted By: Jeff - - September 6, 2019, 2:27 pm
Hi David,
I'm glad the extension comes in handy for you. Speech Recognition Anywhere uses Google's speech recognition technology and they are always working on improving it so it will probably be getting better. The delay/latency is also on Google's servers so it isn't anything that I can personally change. 

The delay/latency sometimes happens because Google's speech recognition is trying to determine when you are done speaking. Sometimes it takes longer to know when you are done speaking because it might be picking up background noise. The background noise can also be an echo of your voice because some rooms echo. Changing the position of the mic or even trying other mics sometimes helps. Keeping other noises low also helps. One other thing you can do is adjust the volume settings in your operating system especially "Mic Boost". Try different settings and see if it improves things.

Hello again Jeff, I'm having a problem writing words like quote and plus because it always turns them into the symbols " and + in my literature work I often use these words and it is driving me crazy, I know that they are part of the extra commands so I wish to know how I can change them to something like quote mark and plus symbol or even just deactivate them. I hope you can help, regards Tony

286. Posted By: Jeff - - September 25, 2019, 8:43 am
Hi Tony,

I can't get this to work perfectly but you can try these two custom commands to change + and " to plus and quote:

Phrase: (.*?)(")(.*?)
Action: $1 quote $3
Phrase: (.*?)(\+)(.*?)
Action: $1 plus$3

Hi,
With Opera GX did not works.
maybe something can be done to work with the opera, most chrome extension works.
you can see that he has access to the microphone because the indicator works, however, there is all the time "Initializing..."
I checked a lot of dictation extensions and it seems that in a browser like Vivaldi Opera it is blocked by Google.it seems that it cannot access to the speech recognition mechanism

291. Posted By: Jeff - - October 3, 2019, 10:11 am
Hi MMartin,

It looks like most of the popular browsers have not implemented the JavaScript Web Speech API. If you look at the compatibility table at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API#Browser_compatibility the only popular browser that supports the Speech Recognition component is Chrome.

One of the problems is probably that Google will not allow the other browsers to access it's speech recognition server that processes the audio into text. So the other browsers would have to come up with their own speech recognition servers which would be difficult for them to create.

I purchased the full version an hour ago and it is not at all what I hoped. Thought maybe the free trial had issues and this would fix them. Capitalization, interpretation, missing text issues. I can't find a way to contact sea breeze directly, I want a refund :(

Hi sjolin,

To stop the "play" command go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and click on "Custom Commands". Then uncheck "Enable" next to the command with the phrase "(Play|Listen to|Youtube) (.*?)" or erase the phrase completely.

Hi mondaysgirl70,

I'm sorry about the problems you are having. Most people do not have those problems. The speech recognition engine for the extension is Google's web speech API. It could be that you need a better microphone or maybe move the microphone to a better location. If you would like a refund please send your order number. You can find it at https://pay.google.com

Hello I am currently doing a trial run of this program and I'm finding it incredibly helpful. I currently work with two screens and have discovered that program does not work on the second screen even though I am using Google Chrome on both. I am wondering if I purchase the full program if it will then work on split screens i.e. will it work wherever the cursor is at the time?
Thank you.

298. Posted By: Jeff - - October 18, 2019, 11:17 am
Hi Rebecca,

If you mean by split screen that you have two different Chrome Windows open and it is not typing what you speak in the second Chrome Window then yes, there is a setting that you can enable in the Full version to make it work in other Chrome Windows. It is in "Settings" and then check the box next to "Allow Speech Recognition in other Chrome Windows".

300. Posted By: Jeff - - October 19, 2019, 10:51 am
Hi Elker Abreu,

Some websites use frames and unfortunately it is impossible through programming to determine which frame is currently being used so you might see text typed into two or more fields in different frames. 

If the website is not using frames and the text is just being typed in the wrong field then you might be able to click on the field first or say "Click on (name|id|label)" of the field first. To find out the name, id or label of a field in Chrome you can right click on the field and then click on inspect. Or you can paste a link to the website here and tell us which field you are trying to use and I might be able to help you find out more.

303. Posted By: Jeff - - October 26, 2019, 8:58 am
Hi Shawn,

There are a couple of things you can do in the Full version. You can say "Turn off dictation". That will stop it from typing everything you say, but voice commands will still work like "Click on button" or "Open website.com". Then to start typing again you can say, "Turn on dictation."

Also, In "Settings" you can check these two boxes:
Start "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the background
Click extension icon a second time to close the extension

That will allow you to just click on the Speech Recognition Anywhere icon to open and close the extension. Also you can go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in Chrome browser and scroll down to Speech Recognition Anywhere and type a shortcut key like ALT+S to start and stop the extension.

Hi Chris,

If you have unwanted words appearing when the microphone is off then it appears that you have some malware or adware on the computer. You probably should have a computer repair shop do a malware/adware scan on the computer and remove the adware they find in Windows. They will also probably need to do a Chrome reset which should help remove all settings, extensions and any bad things in Chrome.

Hi Jeff, I'm still with the same problem as I said in the comment 143 more than a year ago. Virtual Assistant is not answering with voice. I've already tried evertything I can. One thing I noticed is if I open an google tab and click on the mic and speak, it answers with voice. But using the same link again it doesn't works. Looks like everytime I make a voice search the link changes, even with the same command. Could you please help me out? I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this but I use Brazillian Portuguese language. Thanks.

311. Posted By: Jeff - - December 17, 2019, 9:55 am
Hi Vanessa,

I can't read your emails or any sensitive information. No information is sent to me. The way Google designed permissions for extensions is that the only way that the extension can type directly into a webpage with speech to text is if the extension has permission to read and access the webpage. 

If you want to use speech recognition for typing but you don't want to use an extension that can type directly into boxes on websites then you can search for a website that just does speech recognition on the box on their own website and then you would have to copy and paste the text in other webpages.

Hi Maicon,

I don't know why the virtual assistant is not answering with voice for you. It is still answering with voice for me and others. It might be because you use Brazilian Portuguese language. Have you tried changing the language to English and see if it answers with voice? Can you send me the URL of the webpage that opens up with the virtual assistant when you ask a question?

314. Posted By: Jeff - - December 17, 2019, 12:37 pm
Hi Maicon,

That should work. Google adds #tts=0 to the end after the page loads so that if the page is reloaded then it won't answer with voice again. So the URL that Speech Recognition Anywhere created is:
www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=what%20is%20procrastination

If you click on that then it should answer with a voice. If it does not then something has changed in your Chrome or maybe in your Google website settings. On the Google search page that opens up try clicking on "Settings" > "Search Settings" and make sure that "Speak answers for voice search" is enabled. 

I don't have any other ideas if you have already tried a Chrome reset

316. Posted By: Jeff - - December 22, 2019, 9:36 am
Hi Derek Wallace,

Speech Recognition Anywhere only works with websites within Chrome. It will not work with other programs in Windows because Chrome extensions are not allowed to do that. If you could let me know what website you are trying to do this at and exactly what phrase you want to say and then what you want it to do (i.e. fill out a field and press enter...etc.) then I might be able to help you with a custom command.

317. Posted By: Derek Wallace - - December 22, 2019, 7:16 pm

I have tested your software using Chrome and it works well enough. Maybe headset microphones will improve the accuracy of spelling
The program we are using is Celtx. We are composing a full length movie using two to four actors speaking.
Celtx has a shortcut for e.g. Act, scene heading, action, character, dialogue. These are done by Control 1 , 2, 3 etc.
The script adjudicator might begin with by saying " Act 1". From here I need to do a carriage return to " Scene heading " then carriage return to " Action " then work down to individual character names. The names might present a hiccup if same name is present in dialogue.
I hope this explanation is thorough.
Thanks

318. Posted By: Jeff - - December 22, 2019, 7:17 pm
Hi Derek,

Thank you for the additional information. I created an account at Celtx and then I created a custom command that may work for you:
Phrase: Robert
Action: Robert; keypress(51, true); keypress(13)

So for this command you would say, "Robert" and then it would type "Robert" on the screen and then it would press CTRL+3 (keypress(51, Ctrl)). The decimal keycode for 3 is 51. Then it will press the enter key. The decimal keycode for the enter key is 13. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were asking for, but I think you could adapt those commands and change the order if you need to. 

More information on custom commands is at: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/speech/#custom

As a professional photographer I am always viewing pages and pages of images online. I use your speech recognition to scroll down but I'm finding i need more control over how much the page is scrolled down. If I just use the scroll down command on your software often i only see parts of images. What can i do? How can i have more control over how much i scroll down?

I often want to select an image and click on it but image doesn't have any text or number attached to it. How do i click on it when there is nothing but the image? For this purpose a numbering system could be helpful. Don't you have a number system like windows speech recognition. With windows there is the command 'show numbers' and everything that can be clicked on is numbered.

thanks

322. Posted By: Jeff - - December 29, 2019, 6:40 pm
Hi tracy,

Unfortunately, website makers write websites a number of different non-standard ways. So it would be difficult to make a "Show numbers" command that works with every website. But you might be able to create a custom command that will work with one website in particular. If you let me know which website you are using then I might be able to provide some suggestions.

Here is a custom command that works with image websites like freeimages.com and pixaby.com. But it does NOT work on google's images search because Google uses non-standard techniques.

Phrase: Show numbers
Action: var i=0%3Bdocument.querySelectorAll("a").forEach(function(element) { element.innerHTML=i + ". " + element.innerHTML%3B i++%3B });
Description: Say "Show numbers" to label each hyperlink with a number
I created some special custom commands for Google's image search as well. Let me know if you need those.

Sometimes Google takes a few days to process the license. I'm not sure why. But to make sure it is not something on your end here are a few steps you can try:

1. Make sure that you are Signed In to Chrome using the same Google account that you used to purchase the extension with.2. Restart your computer3. If it still says Free Trial after 3 days then another Chrome extension may have changed some settings in Chrome causing a conflict. You can try a Chrome reset to fix this. A Chrome reset will reset all Chrome settings to default and remove all extensions.

I want to output a few slang words as they are spoken, which Google API is writing out in full.

gonna (expanded automatically to: going to)
wanna (expanded automatically to: want to)

Oddly, it's not ALL slang words. Google API is picking up and typing out the word "cuz" as I say it. Or the full proper version of "because" when I say that.

Can't use 'correct all' command because I need to say/type "want to" whenever I wanna do so
--Hardee-har-har--

Hi Suzaine,

Some websites do non-standard programming on their textareas causing the New Line command to not work. If you let me know which website it is then I can try to come up with a solution. For Google Docs saying "New Paragraph" works. For some other websites they are looking for an actual keycode from the Enter key which is 13. So a custom command Action of keypress(13) might work for some websites.

Unfortunately, since it is Google's Web Speech API that is changing 'wanna' to 'want to' the only solution is to create a custom command that changes it all the time and then disable the custom command by unchecking the 'Enable' box when you want it to display 'want to'. The custom command would be:

Phrase: want to
Action: replace_word(wanna)

346. Posted By: Jeff - - January 12, 2020, 9:18 am
Hi Scarlett,

For that command you can try this custom command to have it do nothing when on youtube and Google Docs:

Phrase: (.*?)
Action: if (window.self===window.top && !location.host.match(/youtube.com|docs.google.com/i)) open("https://www.google.com/search?q=$1")

This is advanced programming and it won't work in every situation or with every command. For example, the above Action will not work correctly on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab. But on any other tab it should go to google.com and do a search with what was spoken. But if the current tab is at youtube.com or docs.google.com then it won't go to google.com and do a search.

No, you won't have to purchase it again. As long as you are signed into Chrome with the same Google account that you used to purchase the extension with then Chrome will check the license and let you use the full version.

I wish I could use your extention on my desktop onenote Alas...

353. Posted By: Jeff - - January 15, 2020, 1:35 pm
Hi Tina,

Since Speech Recognition is a Chrome extension it can only work on websites within Chrome. You can try using OneNote online at www.onenote.com/ It works pretty well but it uses a non-standard textarea so commands like "New paragraph", "New line", and "Press Enter" don't work correctly. So you may want to create a custom "Press Enter" command for it like so:

Phrase: Press enter
Action: keypress(13)

You can also try www.evernote.com/ as an alternative. Some people like it better than OneNote. It also works fine with commands like "New paragraph", "New line", and "Press Enter".

Jeff, please help me

I want speech recognition to write 100,200,300.. when I speak hundred, two hundred....

Secondly when I'm dictating on page (where your setting, instructions, custom commands are given) I don't like the dictated text being written on the topmost, although it eventually comes done to the last written text, If you can make some changes so that my dictated text (during the time of dictation) comes next to the last written text, it would be little less annoying.

Thanks

355. Posted By: Scarlett - - January 22, 2020, 8:21 am
Jeff, I'm afraid, your custom command doesn't seem to work
Also please let Speech to text work on youtube/google when (*?) is disabled.

Additionally to let you know-

1) I want
Phrase=(.*?)
Action=https://www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=$1

2) I just don't want to operate it on youtube/google docs/ xyz website. But I would still want speech to text to work.

Moreover, You already have custom command
"Disable Voice Commands (Only Speech-To-Text will work)"

Please revert, if you are able to work it out. Thankyou

358. Posted By: Jeff - - January 28, 2020, 10:00 am
Hi John,

You can setup a hotkey to open and close the extension at chrome://extensions/shortcuts 
Then in the extension settings make sure that you have both of these settings checked:'Start "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the background'
'Click extension icon a second time to close the extension'

Hi Nick,

You can try the following custom command to have each dictated text have a new line before it. It does not work well though. While it is enabled it will override all other built in commands so you won't be able to use them:

Phrase: (.*?)
Action: replace_word(<br>)

Hi Susan,

I'm not sure why it would do that. It is working fine for me and many others in Google Docs. You may have another problem on your computer. You might need to uninstall other extensions or reset Chrome. 

You can also try any online text editor. Another one that many users use is https://anotepad.com

370. Posted By: Jeff - - February 19, 2020, 9:21 am
Hi Ivan,

That error is caused by another extension causing an error in Chrome. You will probably need to uninstall other extensions until you find the one that is causing the problem. You also might need to have the computer checked for malware and viruses. If it is just Chrome that is corrupted then you can try a Chrome Reset. A Chrome Reset will remove all extensions and and reset all settings in Chrome to default. Then you can reinstall Speech Recognition Anywhere at the Chrome Web Store Listing:

Hi Jeff,
‌Thanks for this great application, which I have been testing for a few days. I will buy the license at the end of the trial period.
I use the extension in French, it seems that a detail could be improved.
Indeed, the word "more" ("plus" in french ") and the symbol" + "is pronounced the same. For exemple, in my text, where I would like to have in French" more and more ", appears on the screen "+ and +".

In French, we often use the word "more", and very rarely the symbol "+" (as in English for that matter). it would be interesting to delete the "additional command" for the "+" symbol.
What do you think ?

thanks :)

374. Posted By: Jeff - - May 2, 2020, 11:53 am
Hello Nicolas L,

Thank you for letting me know about that. I will see if I can change that in a future update. In the meantime, you can try creating a custom command that might fix the problem for you. Try a custom command like the one below and it should change the + to more after you speak a sentence. 

Phrase: (.*?)(\+)(.*?)
Action: $1 more$3

Hi cirosan,

I see the problem. I'll see if there is a way to fix it. In the meantime, it looks like you will have to copy and paste the speech from the Speech Recognition Anywhere box or from a box on another page into the box that is duplicating when you do the speech directly into it.

388. Posted By: Jeff - - June 16, 2020, 6:14 pm
Hi Devulsky,

Speech Recognition Anywhere will not work with Edge or other Chromium based browsers at this time. Speech Recognition Anywhere uses the Web Speech API which is built into Chrome and Chromium. The Web Speech API speech recognition technology in Chrome was developed by Google developers. Also Chrome and Chromium were developed by Google developers. However, even though the new Edge browser is a Chromium based browser it is developed by third-party developers and does not have the Web Speech API speech recognition technology. 
At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome and Chromium made by Google for desktop. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

Hello when I try to use this in Gmail with multiple G chat threads open the text is inputted in what seems to be like every possible field. the words I speak appear in both the Gmail search bar and all open Gchat threads simultaneously. any insight to why this may be or a work around?

394. Posted By: Jeff - - August 6, 2020, 11:06 pm
Hi A S,

The Gmail chat (aka hangouts) uses different iFrames with each chat box. Unfortunately, Javascript does not have a way to detect which iFrame is currently active, so in order to use the iFrames that are on the page the extension has to type into each one. At the moment there are two options:
1. You can only have one chat box open at a time.
2. On the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab in the "Settings" check the box for "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard". With that setting you then have to manually click in whichever textbox you want the speech to type in on every web page.

Hello Jeff.

Can you help me with "finding" stuff on page?
For example, "find" a specific word on the page I'm on.

Yes I'm using the built-in command "Find", but it's not doing anything. And by the word history, the extension heard me correctly...
I also turned on "virtual assistant mode", but it didn't do anything.

So, can you give me a custom comment for this? And in the meantime maybe fix this bugs?

Thank you in advance!

396. Posted By: Jeff - - September 14, 2020, 2:16 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

I tested the "find" command and it is working well. Make sure that you don't have any custom commands with the word "find" in it or custom commands that are overriding all other commands such as a phrase with .*?

Jeff
www.seabreezecomputers.com/

397. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 14, 2020, 5:10 pm
Pffff....

I have:
- Google (.*?)
- (?:find |search )(?:from |to )?(.*?)
- Wikipedia (.*?)
- Uppercase (.*?)
- Capitalise (.*?)

Which one should I turn off?? I need ALL btw!

Also, I disabled all the custom commands, and it's still not working. Not sure WHAT is working for you.....

PS: Is there a better way to talk to you, than this thing?
Just put "Disqus" on here. Trust me, it's worth it, and it's 100x better!




398. Posted By: Jeff - - September 14, 2020, 6:16 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Disable the command with (?:find |search )(?:from |to )?(.*?)
That phrase would disable the built in find command.

399. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 15, 2020, 1:38 pm
I said I disabled ALL my custom commands, not just .*?, and still did not work. I even deleted them...

As for that command I deleted it, coz it wasn't working anyway. I found it on these comments.

400. Posted By: Jeff - - September 15, 2020, 3:09 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Unfortunately, I don't know why "find" is not working for you. You might try unchecking all the "Settings" on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab. One of them might be conflicting. Also, if the page you are trying the "find" command on has iframes then it may not work properly. It may state that it didn't find the phrase in one of the iframes. This is a problem with Gmail because it uses a lot of iframes. Unfortunately, with Javascript programming there is no way to determine the active frame. I have researched it for years and have not found a way to fix that. You might try testing the "find" command on a more basic webpage without iframes if that is the case.

Jeff
www.seabreezecomputers.com/

401. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 15, 2020, 4:00 pm
Pfff, I found the culprit..... God damn it, and it's bad.
I unchecked everything as you said, and checked them back one by one.

It's the friggin "Disable yellow speech bubble (Only final speech will display)" setting!!!

I have it disabled, coz the yellow bubbles are.....let's say distracting.
It doesn't have any issues with VTT or custom commands, so I thought everything worked great... It seems I assumed wrong.

And if I enable yellow bobbles, EVERY built-in command started working..............

Jeff, please try and fix this setting.


PS: iframes do not block stuff from working. As long as you are highlighting the iframe you want, everything is good. This implies clicking inside a text box.

PPS: As for finding words or whatever, it should just go from the header to the footer, selecting them one by one. Even if all iframes are identical elements to a page, with identical names, they are still put in a specific order.
The guy with the Gmail issue should do what you

Hey, I found the other culprit, that was giving me headaches...

Remember when I said it was typing the words in EU English, instead of the US English that I selected?

Example: CapitaliSe instead of CapitaliZe

It's because of freaking GEO-LOCATION!!!!
I got the idea to try it with my VPN connected to US, and voila, it's freaking working!!!!

Now, is the tone of languages your add-on, or is it part of the API?
Because, why the hell give the possibility to choose a specific region, if you don't allow it to work at all????? (google)

So, is it another bug, or?
Can it be blocked from reading my location?
And if we can, will it finally use the selected region(language), or it's just there to look pretty? :|

There has to be a fix for this... :(

406. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 17, 2020, 5:09 pm
I have a new one. Don't know what it is yet...

So, on Reddit when I vtt something, it always scrolls the page to the top. The thing I say is heard perfectly, and it doesn't resemble with the command "scroll to top".
Also, it does it on everything I say. :|

Got any ideas for this? "
Dunno how many websites do this, yet. But it's something new, as it didn't do this before...

Cheers!

407. Posted By: Jeff - - September 21, 2020, 1:34 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

The Web Speech API specification has a lang attribute that should be able to accept language code and region code. Unfortunately, Google can program Chrome's Web Speech API any way they want. It appears you are correct. For some languages it appears they are ignoring the region code and detecting your location from ip address. For myself, I can't get it to display text in British english. I even tried changing the language in Chrome to English (United Kingdom). It is annoying that they did that. We can only hope that Google will change it in the future.

408. Posted By: Jeff - - September 21, 2020, 1:41 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Reddit scrolling to the top on speech recognition appears to have something to do with the way they have the header element and the search bar on Reddit. It appears to happen when the extension had the yellow speech bubble enabled. I'll see if there is a way to fix it in the future. It is strange though, because other pages like Google search have a similar header with a search bar and they don't scroll to the top. So Reddit is doing something different than normal. 

Jeff

409. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 21, 2020, 1:59 pm
Hey.

About the Speech API. Yes, but can't we block the API from reading ip addresses and other tracking methods?
I believe by doing so, it will be forced to use the selected language.

Google are cretins. That, or it's the battle of the century, for who has the most data on us, vs Facebook, Amazon, etc...

The extension does not do that. It sounds like your computer operating system or your Chrome browser is infected with a virus or malware. You can try a Chrome Reset. The instructions are at: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/32962

You may check other extensions you have? As I know for a fact that there are fake extensions out there. Trust me!

And while you say you're malware free, did you check with Malwarebytes and Bitdefender?

Still, still, this gave me an idea for a feature?

Jeff, can you add an option to block Adult crap, even if it was intentionally said?
It's not necessarily a kid mode, but let's say it's to prevent the API from "mishearing" words? Just saying. :)

421. Posted By: Jeff - - September 28, 2020, 12:56 pm
Hi Frank and Lucian Andries,

If Frank is using the custom command with the action: http://www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=$1 then it sounds like his microphone might be too close to his speakers or his speaker volume is too loud so when Google responds with voice then the speech recognition hears it and it might be mishearing the words. There also might be fan noise or another noise that is causing the speech recognition to mishear. Frank probably needs to turn down the volume on the speakers and possibly the volume on the mic and move them away from each other.

A custom command like this could be used to block adult words:

Phrase: sex|sexy|porn|pornography|adult
Action: replace_word(Blocked)

But it needs to be above the command with the phrase (.*?) that goes to Google. Because once the commands reach the phrase (.*?) it overrides any commands after that.

Now IF it were speaker echo or background noise, then it should "hear" other words as well, not only sexy caca. It makes no sense.

2. The custom command is cool and all, but I still think a built-in option is better, as nobody knows of this custom command.

And about commands needing to be above others for priority........ Well I have 10 others. How do I easily do this? I suggest also adding the option to move/rearrange the commands in the list. Either by clicking and dragging, or using arrows...

3. Does the command replace the words with Blocked in the search result? Or just blocks the search from happening, when using those words? The latter would be better.

4. Have a nice day!

Can you explain it bit how to write custom command to block those words, I'm seriosuly sick n tired of video coming again n again or sexy video or video video video coming again. I don't know what's wrong, what virus is it, none to be detected, but please tell me how to stop it :(

Jeff,
Even if I kept searching off, still in speechbox I can see, "Sexy Video, "blue picture", "Video video video", "video, These words are repeating. Can something be done about it

Frank:

Whoa, I really didn't expect that..... How the ffffffrick??

Can you record a bit when this is happening, and also show what other extensions you are using?

I would suggest 2 things, if the browser is that screwed up:
1. Uninstall, then reinstall Speech Recognition Anywhere. It fixed some issues for me a while back. Try it.
2. If it's still bad, then Reset Chrome. Clear all its Cache and Cookies.

If that doesn't fix it, then nothing will...

For the custom command, Jeff already told you how. It's really easy.

Good luck.

430. Posted By: Jeff - - October 1, 2020, 2:10 pm
Hi Frank,

I'm sorry. I don't know how to explain the custom command to block words any more than I did. You just copy the phrase and paste into a custom command phrase box and then copy the action and paste into the action box.

If you can't move your mic away from your speakers or turn the volume down then I would recommend 2 things. First, on Speech Recognition Anywhere Settings check the box for 'Pause "Speech Recognition Anywhere" if audio is playing in a tab'. That way if any audio comes from a website such as Google assistant responding then Speech Recognition will pause while it is speaking. Second, you may want to change your Google assistant search command to have a keyword in front of it so that it only activates if you say something like "Google" first. Like this:

Phrase: Google,? (.*?)
Action: https://www.google.com/search?gs_ivs=1&inm=vs&q=$1

Hi Allen,

To search on google without google assistant you could use this custom command:

Phrase: Google,? (.*?)
Action: https://www.google.com/search?q=$1
Description: Say "Google images of cats"

432. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 1, 2020, 4:11 pm
George is right. I forgot about this... Mostly because I use a custom command for searching.
But yes, if all things fail, just enable this setting "Use Voice Activation Wake Up Phrase", and set whatever wakeup word you want. This WILL help. :)

Also: About reseting Chrome... Login in Chrome with your Google account. And set it to Auto-Sync all your "everything". That way when you reset Chrome and log back in, all your settings, passwords, bookmarks, extensions, addresses, credit cards, etc, will be automatically restored to you. :)
The only issue is that you need to re-login into your favourite website, that's it. :)

It's the same thing as restoring everything on your phone. I love this!

Hi Jeff,

purchased the full upgrade a week ago. I'm on linux and using your plugin on a daily basis. The speech to text stuff works pretty good for me.


I have two comments:
1. I often switch between 2 languages. Iverytime I close the plug and open it again it sets back to the default language. Setting the proper language via voice command is sort of slow.
It would be great to have different shortcuts for different languages.

2. I have two microphones plugged into my computer and sometimes I don't know which microphone is used by the speech-to-text plugin. I cannot see that in the Chrome settings because these are only for websites. I have a default microphone in my Linux sound settings, but sometimes this is taken by zoom, because I'm joining zoom sessions and using your plugin simultaneously. It would be great to see which microphone is currently used by your plugin.



435. Posted By: Jeff - - October 3, 2020, 7:53 pm
Hi Peter Quiel,

If you set the language with your voice then it is temporary just for that session. But if you set the language manually with the mouse then it should save to that language for the next time you open the extension. If it is not saving when you set the language in "Settings" with the mouse then unfortunately there might be some corruption on your Chrome browser.

You can create a custom command to change languages but it may not save much time:
Phrase: English
Action: set_language(English)
Description: say "English" to change language to English temporarily

I'm not very sure about how to determine which microphone is being used but you could go to chrome://settings/content/microphone in Chrome and see if that helps.

436. Posted By: Peter Quiel - - October 4, 2020, 1:32 pm
Hi Jeff,

thanks for your response.

I created new commands for changing languages and that makes it a little bit faster. I would prefer having different shortcuts for different languages, but this is sort of a workaround that is good enough.
I changed the default microphone in Chrome to the preferred mic and that works pretty good.

Best,
Peter

437. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 4, 2020, 4:36 pm
Jeff,

How much time does "temporary" mean, for changing tha language with that command?

Also, don't know if this is a bug or so. But sometimes the vtt just does not want to type what I say.
In the word history it heard everything perfectly, but did not want to type it...

I wait a few minutes and still nothing. I click outside the text box and back in the box and still nothing.
If I wait a while then say something else, then it works...
And it starts working normally, after I reloaded the extension, or close and reopen it...

Hmm, that makes me think it loses connection to the internet, or Google's server? It's only then when speech does not work...

Still, what do you think?

439. Posted By: Jeff - - October 6, 2020, 6:41 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Temporary means that if you change the language with your voice it is only changed until you close Speech Recognition Anywhere tab. It does not save the change. But if you manually change the language with the mouse in "Settings" then it saves that language even when you close and start Speech Recognition Anywhere again.

I don't know why it does not want to type what you say sometimes. I haven't seen any problems like that. It could be an Internet connection issue or an issue with Google's server.

440. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 6, 2020, 7:50 pm
Well, I mostly waste my time on YouTube, and there's where I encounter the issue with not typing.
It must be gugle, coz I have wired gigabit with fiber wire. :|

About the language, I have the tab pinned. I always use it, and I want it to auto start with chrome. Also, pinned tabs are very small. (But I prefer no tabs. Can you make it work with NO tabs open, please? Just a click on it should turn it ON / OFF)
And as I don't close my browser, I need to make a command for changing back to English. The only issue is that, it can't change to English US, just the default English. :|

Another issue I keep having: Each time it hears the word UNDER, it freaking deletes my last sentence, etc...
History hears it as UNDER, but for some reason it applies it as the command UNDO, if there is one... :((

441. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 6, 2020, 7:52 pm
And there are other words that act in a similar way. Can't remember them now.
I don't want to use it for Speech and Voice commands separately, meaning to disable one when using the other...

Is this a bug or a API issue? :(

I know it can never be perfect. But I'm ok with it being close to perfect. :)

442. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 6, 2020, 7:58 pm
Can you also add the option to rearrange the custom commands list? Please? You yourself said list position matters.

443. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 9, 2020, 6:53 pm
Yeah, the extension is bugged.

For the love of god, it just will not type single words, or whatever words!!!!!!!!

I tried VTT the word "finally" in the YouTube comments for half an hour..... I talked softly, I yelled, I said it close to the mic and I said it from across the room, it just will not work!

And no, it's not an internet or google server issue, I tested this as well.
The extension is dependent of the API, and the API is dependent on the internet. Otherwise it will just not work. So, if you disconnect the network cable, the extension is dead. Even if you see mic input on it, no words will ever appear in the word history.

And when my issue is doing its thing, the word history box was full of the word "finally", and other words. Meaning, it does has access to the internet and google server.

So, then what is the issue? I suspect a bug to be doing this.

444. Posted By: Jeff - - October 12, 2020, 12:02 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Thank you for the example with the single word "finally". With that I was able to duplicate the bug. If commands are enabled then there are some single word phrases that will not type but will activate a command. Some of these single words are: end|home|left|right|up|down|start|stop|pause|continue|resume|copy|cut|paste|clear. Also the equivalent of those words in some other languages.

The bug is that the program is matching just part of a single word. In Spanish "fin" is "end" and it is matching the single word "finally" with "fin" and activating a command. With this bug you also will not be able to type the single words: endless,homeless, started,ended, etc... I will try to fix the bug as soon as possible.

In the meantime you can use this custom command to type some single words:
Phrase: Type (.*?)
Action: $1
Description: Say "Type finally"

446. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - October 13, 2020, 10:29 pm
So it's a bug... But sometimes it doesn't type entire sentences, not just single words. Exactly what @brett leavitt said.

Could this be related to the single word issue as well, maybe? Because if I say a different sentence it works, or start with a different word... :/
If it does match command words, those commands don't get executed anyway. :o

And you said it matches another word in Spanish... But my mouse selected language is "English (United States)". Why would it cross languages? There is no "2 languages at the same time" feature, for a bug like this to exist. It's weird.

Here are my settings: imgur.com/ZHcNWvW

I know I'm using search and commands at the same time, but commands should only get triggered if nothing is said after the command words. Right?

Btw: About that custom command, do I get $1 after every "finally" word said? Can I get that in British Pounds, please? :D :p

Hi brett leavitt,

Thanks for the video. I was able to go to bitrix24.com and duplicate the issue. Unfortunately, I'm not sure why it is not working in that comment box. Other websites have similar boxes and it works fine. It might be that they are using some kind of security to prevent malware bots from submitting things. I will look into it and see if I can figure it out and make an update. In the meantime, it looks like you will have to speak into a text box on another website such as https://anotepad.com/ and then copy and paste the text into bitrix24.com.

450. Posted By: Jeff - - October 16, 2020, 5:21 pm
Hi brett leavitt,

I worked on the issue. It is not perfect. When you click on a lead at bitrix24.com the website opens too many iframes that confuses the extension. It will now speak what you say 1 time in the comment box but then it will go to another box behind. So you would have to keep clicking in the comment box to refocus. But there are 2 workarounds you can do:

1. Instead of clicking on a Lead you can right click on the Lead and then click "Open link in new tab". This will open the Lead in a new tab and then it types in the box without problems.

2. In Speech Recognition Anywhere "Settings" you can check the setting "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard". That will cause it to work correctly. But on every website you would have to click in the box you want to type in before speaking or it won't type anything.

Hey Jeff!

So I'm struggling with using vtt and voice commands at the same time...
Are you experiencing the same?

Like, after you vtt in a text box, you say at the end the voice command "press enter", to post, send or search the thing you wrote.
But right before it takes the command, it replaces the text with the voice command or it adds it at the end of what you wrote... It depends on the site what it does. :/

If I click outside of the box, the voice command doesn't work anymore. Because I have this enabled: "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard".

So, does this happen to you, too? Or I'm just unlucky?
And it's doing it every time...

Also: For these voice commands "Arrow Keys and Cursor", can you add these commands "press ctrl home" and "press ctrl end", to move the text cursor to the very beginning and the very end? That would be very helpful, who doesn't like combos? :)

Hope you're safe. Thank you!

459. Posted By: Jeff - - November 11, 2020, 1:26 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

You can't use vtt with a voice command at the same time, otherwise the speech recognition thinks that the voice command is part of the voice to text. You have to say the vtt statement and then allow the speech recognition to recognize it and print it on the screen and then you can say a voice command.

There is already a voice command for moving the cursor to the very beginning and very end of a text box. Say, "Move cursor to top" or "Move cursor to bottom". Or you can create a custom command:

Phrase: Press (ctrl|control) home
Action: moveCursor(top)
Description: Say "Press ctrl home"

460. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - November 11, 2020, 5:25 pm
Hey.

Well that's what I do. I say the text, wait for it to be written, then say the command.
It takes the command, it always does. But it writes/replaces the text with the command first. So it's a bug.

It needs to not write anything when a command is given. Even if a text box is selected. You know what I mean?
When it detects voice commands, vtt is disabled. And when detecting random text, voice commands are disabled.

Thanks for the commands, must've missed them...

Hi andyhanoi,

The action for Arrow keys and cursor is: moveCursor(keyword)
The basic keywords are: up|left|right|down|end|start|home|top|bottom

You can also add a number variable for how many times you want it to move and then you can add what type of move you want to make such as: line|word|character|letter|sentence|paragraph. (Default is word) For example:moveCursor(left, 2, character) 
will move the cursor to the left 2 characters.

Hi encitar,

You can start a new paragraph by saying "New paragraph". But make sure you don't say it right after saying a sentence or it will think it is part of the sentence. Pause for a second before and after saying "New Paragraph". You can also say "New line".

Hi Lucian Andries,

No. I can't change that. There are legitimate websites that use prefixes and if the prefix is removed it will mess things up for others. I can't think of any good reasons for websites to keep changing their subdomain or prefix unless they are doing something shady or illegal. Please don't use websites like that. Check out nice websites like this one, it has beneficial information: https://www.jw.org/

I tried to solve the videos being blanked out before. I'll take a look again. But I don't know if I will be able to solve it or not.

WWW:

"Shady sites"...... Well they do post ripped tv shows. Same for anime sites. But the sources are third party. Nothing shady about it. They change the address coz they are being taken down, duh.
But you know, not everyone can pay subscriptions to 10 official networks and streaming services. So, let's leave the criticizing alone, please!

I know there are websites that need the www in order to function, and vice versa. Hmm... How about make it save websites With and Without the "www" at the same time? That will surely fix the issue. The save file won't affect the PC's performance, coz we don't use it on billions of websites... Try that please!


VIDEOS BEING BLANKED OUT:

You tried fixing it before and couldn't? Hmm... How about make it not overlay over anything java, not just video players? Coz maybe it trouble identifying java players from java ads, on some websites? Maybe? So just making it work with the general java code, might do the tri

Koniichi wa!

I need a command for using Google Translate.

I say Google Translate X, and it will open a new tab with my predefined chosen languages.

EX: translate.google.ro/?sl=en&tl=ro&op=translate&hl=en

It'd be cool to create a reverse one as well, but the API doesn't support dual-language, without manually changing them... :(
Hmm, about this. Jeff, can you add a setting to: When changing the extension language by voice, it will only last for the amount of seconds I set it to, then it will automatically Revert to the EXACT language it was set ON? I'm sure it can be done, but are you willing...?

And why revert to the EXACT language? Because the extension does not know there are a TON of English languages in that list to choose from.........
So if I set it to just "English", then changing it to my language temporarily, and then tell it to switch back to English, the extension will choose "English UK" or "English US", depending on your region and not the manual s

Thank you so much for your amazing extension. We use it daily and so far we defined more than 1300 rules in CUSTOM COMMANDS, the export command file is about 126KB. Once the file imported to another computer, it makes SRA runs so SLOWLY or we can say SRA hang or stuck... Is there any limitation for custom commands or do you have any suggestion for us to resolve perfomance issues?

490. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - January 16, 2021, 6:45 am
Btw Jeff, I forgot to mention an issue........

Everytime I say the word "underestimate", the extension deletes half of what I wrote.... It's like an "undo" command.

Why? I mean, "undo" and "underestimate" sound very different. What voice command do you have in english, that sounds like "underestimate"?
Stupidest word ever...

I always nix mouse typing and vtt, coz the API can't understand every word, and distinguish from sentence to sentence. So it gets rid of a lot I typed.

Is there a way to fix this too? Maybe?

491. Posted By: Jeff - - January 18, 2021, 11:11 pm
Hi andyhanoi,

1300 custom commands is very large. You would probably need a very fast computer with a lot of RAM and very few programs running for it to work. Is there any way you could combine most of the commands by using regular expressions (regex)? You might need to hire a programmer that has knowledge of regex. There is a helpful regex tutorial at www.seabreezecomputers.com/speech/#custom and Mozilla has a good Regular expression syntax cheatsheet

492. Posted By: Jeff - - January 18, 2021, 11:41 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,
I will try to fix the undo bug in the next update.

You would have to create a different translate command for each language you use because Google Translate uses the language code abbreviations instead of the whole word. Or you could try using Google as a shortcut:

Phrase: Translate from (.*?) to (.*?)
Action: url(https://www.google.com/search?q=$0,true); click_keyword(Open in Google Translate)
Description: Say "Translate from English to Romanian"


You can create a command to switch to any language by escaping the parentheses with backslashes:

Phrase: English
Action: set_language(English \(United Kingdom\))
Description: Say "English" to change to English (United Kingdom)

About Google Translate:
This command seem to only open a new tab with X languages.
"Phrase: Translate from (.*?) to (.*?)"

I needed something like "translate Cat from English to Romanian", and open the Result in a new tab...


About changing languages:
I want it to change to plain "English". Not EN UK, not EN US, not EN South Africa, not EN India, etc...
It has "plain" english in that list too.


Sorry, didn't have time to test them. I just saw the command and assumed that's how they work... :P

But thank you anyway man! Stay safe!

496. Posted By: Jeff - - January 23, 2021, 12:29 pm
Hi Andy Shay,

To pause speech to text you can say "Stop dictation" or "Stop speech to text". Commands will still work so you can start again by saying "Start dictation." 

If you want to start/stop text to speech and commands then you have to use a keyboard shortcut. First, on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab click on "Settings" and check these two settings: 
'Start "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the background'
'Click extension icon a second time to close the extension'

Then go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in the browser and select your keyboard shortcut key.

For something like "translate Cat from English to Romanian" you can try this custom command which is very similar:

You can try the following custom command, but you would have to make a separate command for each bad word:

Replace the s in the phrase with the first letter of the bad word for each custom command.  Replace ship in the action with the word you want to use.

I'm sorry about the issue. It looks like your current email address is using the new Speech Recognition Anywhere 365 extension. Please go to download the original version at Speech Recognition Anywhere - Chrome Web Store chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speech-recognition-anywhe/kdnnmhpmcakdilnofmllgcigkibjonof . Note that it will only let you install it if you are signed into Chrome with the Google account that you used to purchase the extension with.

Hey!

Version 1.4.4 Issues:

1. The API language Auto-changes depending on my region. I use a VPN. But even if I wasn't using a VPN, I am not in an English speaking country.....

2. The Extension just does not want to keep the settings I make. Closing and opening the Browser or closing and opening the Extension Tab, Auto-reverts the Extension to its previous settings, and sets the language back to the region I'm in.....

3. PLEASE add an option to save ALL its settings, to an Exported file, NOT just the Custom Commands.


Yeah, this one flipped hard..... :(

Hi, if you install your extension in your Google profile and then log into another computer under the same Google profile are all your settings, customisations and custom commands there within your profile?

Or do you have to export your settings and import to another computer?

We have 3 computers in our house and me, my wife and son switch between all of them depending on what we are doing, so I could be any one of 3 computers from week to week.

Thanks
Dean

Hi Dean Crabb,

You would need to re-check your settings on each new computer. But once you have set your settings on a computer then it will stay that way. For custom commands you can export them to a text file on the computer you created them on and then import them on another computer.

BTW. I am speaking in Japanese. So I want the software to be able to automatically enter my Japanese sentences. For example, currently, the software works for me on Twitter.

Hi James,

Unfortunately, Twitter has some limitations and strange ways of making the website so that it is difficult to make a command that will automatically submit a tweet. But here is a custom command that you can create that will send the tweet after you speak what you want to send. You can change the "Phrase" to whatever command you want to speak to activate it:

Phrase: Send Tweet
Action: script(document.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetButtonInline"]').click())

Hey!

Can I request some new commands for the built-in commands?

For "Forms, Buttons and Links"
You have this "Click|Press|Check|Uncheck (to|in|on) (the) (keyword) (button|link|box) (n time(s))"

But for "Music and Videos"
You only have this "Play|Listen to (title of artist, song or video)"............


Can you please make the "Click|Press" commands work for Videos as well?
Like this: click|press play, pause, stop (button).
And: click|press full screen (button).
Also: mute, unmute video, etc.

And this work on every site, not just YT. If a webpage has a main video player on the screen, then the extension will execute the player's buttons and nothing else.

And please build them INTO the extension, don't just show us how to add them as Custom Commands........ Please!! :(((

516. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - April 8, 2021, 1:36 am
Also, can you add an extra function for the mic settings?

I need a GAIN setting... In Windows my mic's volume and gain are set to max. And in the extension I disabled the auto-gain control thing.
But for some reason the crAPI still can't understand a shit I say 75% of the time.... Well, I am 2m away though, from my HTPC. And that's why I need to triple its gain or something. Pffff, and I have shotgun mics for "long range".......... Lies!


Aaaaaaan....... A special feature in the future like "Noise Canceling", would be friggin awesome as well, ngl... :)

Anyway, take care of yourself Jeff!

517. Posted By: Jeff - - April 12, 2021, 12:27 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe in the future. The problem with controlling videos is each person has a different mic and speaker setup. You have to have the right microphone and the right microphone and speaker positions so that the mic does not pick up the audio from the speakers.

Some video players, including youtube, have aria-label attributes on their buttons. For instance, the Pause/Play button has an aria-label set to "pause" and changes to "play" when the video is paused. So if your mic/speaker setup is good to not pick up audio from the speakers then you can say "Press pause", "press play", "press mute".

Technically, you should be able to say "Press full screen". But Chrome has an overly-secure security that knows if you clicked on it with a mouse or if a program clicked on it. The security throws an error in Developer Console of "API can only be initiated by a user gesture."

Hi Srinivas,

Not that I am aware of. Chrome extensions are not allowed to work on other extension pages (pages that start with chrome-extension://). So unless iMacros shows your commands on an https page and then allows you to click on each command with a mouse then it won't work. If your commands are on an https page and have easily clickable buttons then you might be able to setup a Custom Command in Speech Recognition Anywhere to run them.

But Speech Recognition Anywhere has many scripting commands for the Custom Command actions. So you may be able to create what you want with Speech Recognition Anywhere by itself.

519. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - April 18, 2021, 10:05 pm
Hey!

"Press full screen" works, but only sometimes.
And "press pause", "press play", "press mute", does not work. But these commands would only work if you are already in "full screen".
"Play" for example, it starts for 250ms, but stops again. No matter how many times I say it, it doesn't work. I have to say "press space" 2-3 times for it to start playing, while in full screen.

I only need to make the video start playing, full screen or not. And adding the word "video" in the command, I think it will not confuse the Extension on which iframe to apply the command. It's what I think, because I disabled "Auto Focus on nearest text box".

Also, make the play/pause commands just be a pressed spacebar key OVER the video player, and not actually a press on the player's buttons...

About the mic:
I set it to "pause listening while sound is being played back".

So when I said the crAPI doesn't understand what I say, I meant it "in a very quiet room". And that is an issue.....

520. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - April 18, 2021, 10:30 pm
Also, can you add 2 more Scrolling commands?
1. Scroll up/down X number of rows.
2. Scroll up/down very slowly, for a reading mode. And stop when reaching the bottom of the page, or say stop scrolling.

It's interesting, isn't it? And useful.

I want the custom commands to be only for very specific or complicated stuff......
And the Extension be more than a VTT. I want it to be a personal assistant, with a lot of pre-built-in commands. It can't be an AI, but let's get it as close as possible!

If projects like this needs money, then I'll gladly donate to it. Some may agree with me and donate as well. Or help you with programming skills.
The point is Jeff, we are not all demanding, without giving something in return. Even if we already purchased it. Well, me anyway. :)

PS: I'd love to use it in Virtual Assistant mode, and still be able to use built-in voice commands and vtt, without everything going to a search page... :/

If only the Google Assistant API had all of these functions built-in..........

The API is Google Assistant right? And it's the same we get on our phones, or something dumber? :(
Coz the one on the phone has some of this stuff, but very little... :(

If Google would add their virtual assistant to the Chrome browser.... Or install it on Windows........ God damn what a day that would be!!!!

523. Posted By: Jeff - - April 27, 2021, 3:58 pm
Hi Laszlo,

The messenger.com and facebook problem has to do with Facebook updating their security programming to try and prevent adware or bots from fraudulently submitting comments in place of a user. Unfortunately, when Facebook updates their security programming it sometimes prevents legitimate programs like Speech Recognition Anywhere from being able to send a message. The workaround for now is to type a letter in the box first like a space or a period. Then start speaking. There will be an update to Speech Recognition Anywhere if there is a way to get around the recent security programming of Facebook.

I face a bug when I use the extension to type on google docs. It does not provide space between the words and all words get connected to each other. For example, If I say "this flower is beautiful" all at once, the extension provides spaces between words. However, if I each word separately till the previous word is typed then all words get connected, and no spaces happen between them. This also happens when I say a sentence and wait till it is typed and then say the following sentence. The last word in the first sentence gets connected to the first word in the second sentence. This only happens when I use google docs. I tried it with a google search. The extension provides spaces between words and also in the text box on your extension website. How can I modify the extension so that every word/sentence ends with space when is said individually?

538. Posted By: Jeff - - June 8, 2021, 12:44 pm
Hi Mohd,

It should be providing a space between each phrase on Google Docs. If you have any custom commands please disable them to see if that is causing any issues. Also you might want to disable other extensions and restart the computer to see if any are causing an issue.

I tested Google Docs and it was printing the spaces just fine for me but I did notice that sometimes it was not putting capital letters for the first word after punctuation. Google Docs made an update to their programming causing this issue. Maybe it is related to the issue you are having. There will be an update to Speech Recognition Anywhere soon that addresses this issue. Version 1.4.8. When that comes out maybe it will fix the problem you are seeing.

What key combination can I use to pause dictation. My microphone is picking up words form other people in the room

546. Posted By: Jeff - - July 27, 2021, 2:12 pm
Hi Ray,

On the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab click on "Settings" and check these two settings:
'Start "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the background'
'Click extension icon a second time to close the extension'

Then go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in the browser and look for Speech Recognition Anywhere and set your keyboard shortcut key.

Halo Thorston,

Mit diesem benutzerdefinierten Befehl können Sie auf Websites alles in Kleinbuchstaben schreiben. Wenn dieser Befehl aktiviert ist, können Sie keine integrierten Befehle verwenden, da diese überschrieben werden:

Phrase: (.*?)
Action: document.execCommand("insertText",false,"$1 ".toLowerCase())

Es wird alles auf Websites kleingeschrieben, aber nicht auf der Registerkarte Spracherkennung überall.

When I put my cursor in one box it automatically changes to another box how do I keep it in one place. I am using this to dictate into my EMR but it won't stay in the box that I wanted to stay and I have to copy and paste into that box this is an extra step that I do not desire to have.

551. Posted By: Jeff - - August 15, 2021, 6:50 pm
Hi Paul D Rogers MD,

It seems that the extension is detecting that the box is not a normal text input box so it may not work with the extension. But try this: On the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab click on "Settings" and then check the box: "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard." Let me know if that works.

The speech to text works on some pages within Hubspot site but not all. Any guidance how to fix?

553. Posted By: Jeff - - August 18, 2021, 5:56 pm
Hi Adam,

Unfortunately, Hubspot uses non-standard text boxes sometimes, such as on their email page. Some things just won't work right and it might be better to do speech in another box and then copy it to the text box on HubSpot.

I did get it to work somewhat, but it still had problems. One thing I noticed is that Hubspot seems to work better if I change the "Settings" in Speech Recognition Anywhere and check the setting: "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard". Also on the Hubspot email page it would start inputting the speech if I first typed a character on the keyboard like a period first and then started talking. However it would still have some problems especially if I tried to say something like "New line" or "Press enter". So like I said previously, with the problems it might be better to do the speech in another textbox and paste it.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the feedback and the encouragement. I'm working on an update right now that I hope will fix some of the problems with hubspot. It takes a while to find and fix things because I can't work on it full time. But it is helpful when users point out which websites and boxes are not working correctly. Sometimes I am able to find a workaround. It is generally not really a bug with Speech Recognition Anywhere. It is usually websites that decide to not use a standard text input box but instead create their own unique method. This causes Speech Recognition Anywhere to not be able to input text normally. But I have found workarounds for many sites that created their own unique text input methods including Google Docs, evernote, facebook and twitter.

Hi FISNIK IBRAHIMI,

There may be some corruption in your Chrome browser. Please try the following steps:
1. In the receipt email, copy the order ID or receipt #
2. In Speech Recognition Anywhere click on "Settings" and then scroll down to License and paste the order ID in the box for "Order ID".
3. Click on "Check"

If it still doesn't work properly then you may need to reset Chrome. Follow the instructions to reset Chrome at: Chrome Reset . Then follow steps 1 to 3 again.

Hi Fisnik,

It seems the microphone volume might be set too low in your operating system. There are a couple things you can try. In Speech Recognition Anywhere click on "Settings" and check the box for "Disable Auto Gain Control".

Then you may need to look up how to adjust the microphone volume for your operating system. If you are using Windows 10 then here are some instructions:
Increase the volume of your microphone. Here's how to do this in Windows 10:

Select Start ⊞, then select Settings ⚙ > System 💻 > Sound 🔊 .

In Input, ensure your microphone is selected under Choose your input device, then select Device Properties.

Adjust the Volume slider and Test your microphone

You might find more adjustments by clicking on Additional device properties and then clicking on Levels tab.

Why does my speech recognition start every text with a capital letter even if it's in the middle of a sentence? I note that it does not happen here but it does happen when I dictate into my book. I should note here, that I am a computer and software moron. So please, write any answer and or solution in the equivalent of technical crayons or paint by number responses and solutions. Thank you Richard Marcus

562. Posted By: Jeff - - September 24, 2021, 10:48 am
Hi Richard Marcus,

Which website is it not doing the capitalization correctly on? It appears that the website may be using a non-standard text box and the extension can't read the box to determine whether to display a capital letter or not. If that is the case, unfortunately, the only solution might be to use a text box that uses html standards on a different website and then copy and paste the text into the other website.

564. Posted By: Richard Marcus - - September 24, 2021, 1:54 pm
See, Jeff, I told you I was a computer moron. I saw in my first attempt to ask you the question about capital letters in the middle of my sentences I utterly misstated the question I got it right the second time. That is, the question I sent today. So I can add verbal moron to computer moron. I plead having a stroke. Yeah I played the stroke card. But it's true.go easy on me. The truth is also that I bless your software because I am a professional writer and this is the only way I can make it work seeing as I lost the use of my left hand.

565. Posted By: Jeff - - September 24, 2021, 3:22 pm
Hi Richard Marcus,

I'm sorry to hear about your stroke. Your question has not been asked before. Please let me know which website it is not working correctly on and then I can see if there is a workaround. If there is no workaround, then unfortunately, you may need to speak your text into a text box that works on a different website and then copy and paste it into the website that is not working.

Hi Richard Marcus,

Unfortunately, the Facebook comment boxes that say "Write a comment" won't allow speech unless first it detects a keypress from the keyboard. So you have to click in the comment box and type a key such as period. Then you can start speaking.

How do I pause the app from listening? Like I have it open in a pinned tab and then just speak when I need to (which works fantastic!!!) but how do I temporarily pause it from listening besides having to close the entire tab???
Thank you! This ext is phenomenal!!!

570. Posted By: Jeff - - October 4, 2021, 10:37 am
Hi Terry Marie,

There are a couple of things you can do in the Full version. You can say "Turn off dictation". That will stop it from typing everything you say, but voice commands will still work like "Click on button" or "Open website.com". Then to start typing again you can say, "Turn on dictation."

Also, In "Settings" you can check these two boxes:
'Start "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the background'
'Click extension icon a second time to close the extension'

That will allow you to just click on the Speech Recognition Anywhere icon to open and close the extension. Also you can go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in Chrome browser and scroll down to Speech Recognition Anywhere and type a keyboard shortcut key like ALT+S to start and stop the extension.

571. Posted By: Jeff - - October 4, 2021, 10:41 am
Hi Richard Marcus,

Do you have an example of what it is not interpreting correctly and what website you are using when it happens? Speech Recognition is a lot better than it used to be in the past, but it still requires that a user keep speaking very clearly and distinctly. Also microphone placement can make a difference. Also the type of microphone can make a difference.

Hi enrico,

Thank you for the website link that is having the problem. I signed up with an account and tested it. Unfortunately, the problem is not showing up for me on that website or any other. My screen does not jump. Is there a particular place in the website that it acts that way? I went into the forms and used the text box but it all worked fine.

I assumed the cause of the problem was an update to the scrollToCursor functionality. But I reverted the programming back in the latest version (1.5.3). Please let me know if it is working correctly now when it updates to version 1.5.3.

Hi Willem Hengelmolen,

You must include the dash in the order number.

Please copy and paste the order number to Settings > Order ID and then click on "Check". If it still doesn't work then your Chrome browser may be corrupted, possibly from another extension. You might need to remove or disable other extensions at chrome://extensions/

Then restart the computer and try again. If it still doesn't work then you may need to try a Chrome reset. Follow the instructions for a Chrome reset at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214
After Chrome resets then reinstall the extension and enter your order ID.

Dear Jeff,
I'm rather confused
Yes I'm getting a notice my free trial has expired. But I believe I'm still getting speech recognition through Chrome. And the strange thing is that it is more responsive then the one I seem to have gotten through your product. I believe it was due to my use of Linnex mint and that also is the cause as to why does not begin every input -whether it was a beginning of a sentence or not-with a capital letter one thing that was driving me crazy. I feel somewhat guilty since you have been most helpful. But if the speech recognition works just by Chrome alone and it is more effective and does not include capital letters every time I speak, I'm afraid I have to go with what Chrome gives me for free.Thank you for all your help you deserve great success. Sincerely Richard Marcus

585. Posted By: Jeff - - October 15, 2021, 10:14 am
Hi Richard Marcus,

I'm glad that you found something that works for you. I'm still not sure which website was beginning every input with a capital letter for you. Was it Google Docs? Google Docs recently changed their programming to use a canvas element (basically an image or picture) for the document instead of text, so the extension was not able to read the previous text to see if there was punctuation or not. But there was a recent update to Speech Recognition Anywhere that fixes this issue in Google Docs. But if it was another website, then I would like to know so that I can work on a fix for it.

Thank you,

Jeff

586. Posted By: Jeff - - October 15, 2021, 10:25 am
Hi Johnny Boooy,

What is not working anymore? Do you mean that the extension is not getting your proper license status? Google recently discontinued Chrome Web Store payments and you have to take certain steps to get the license status. Unfortunately, Google does not explain this to users very well. 

Please try the following steps: On the upper right corner of Chrome browser click on Profile icon 👨. Sign in with your Google account. Make sure Sync is on. Click on the extension icon and click on "Settings" scroll down to License and leave the Order ID field blank and then click on "Check". If the "Sign in with Google" screen appears then you must click on "Allow" for the extension to get your correct license and purchase status.

Sorry I must have hit the wrong button... what what I was saying in the last comment was that I was wondering when you stop yelling at me in all capital letters that my free trial has expired. That the reason I could not use yours was because it was starting with a capital letter. This was because I had Linux software and I can't get out of it to use Microsoft Word or any other software for that matter. I so appreciate the support and your quick response to my questions. I hope you can eliminate the all-caps your free trial has expired announcement 2 me thank you

Hey Jeff, could you please find a way to stop informing me my FREE TRIAL HAS EXPIRED. it is printing it but every sentence I write I wrote you that yes, I know, my free trial has expired. And I wish I could use your services but my LinneX software doesn't allow it to happen without making every sentence start with capital letter.look, I suffered a stroke and only have the use of one hand. I can barely type with it and rely completely on my Chrome speech recognition which cannot be modified as well as yours what does start each sentence with a capital letter. So please please stop informing me that my free trial has expired. Please

589. Posted By: Jeff - - October 19, 2021, 11:31 am
Hi Richard Marcus,

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I thought you said that you were using a different product and not using Speech Recognition Anywhere anymore. It should not be telling you that your free trial has expired unless you are using it. To remove the extension from Chrome, right click on the extension icon and then click on "Remove from Chrome..."

Ciao Francesca Pinto,

Sembra che WhatsApp abbia reso difficile fare clic sul pulsante di invio non avendo un'etichetta di testo sul pulsante. Prova a creare il seguente comando personalizzato:

Phrase: Invia
Action: keypress(13)
Description: pronuncia "Invia" per inviare utilizzando il tasto Invio

Non sono sicuro di cosa puoi fare con i video. È possibile che l'audio sia troppo alto e venga rilevato dal microfono. Potrebbe essere necessario allontanare il microfono dagli altoparlanti o abbassare il volume degli altoparlanti.

Hi Johnny Boooy,

You can uninstall the extension by either right clicking the extension icon and then clicking on "Remove from Chrome..." or going to chrome://extensions/ in the browser and clicking on "Remove" next to the extension.

Unfortunately, there is some corruption with Chrome that can only be fixed with a Chrome reset. When other users have had this issue then a Chrome reset fixed it 99% of the time. You can try disabling all other extensions and then restarting the computer and see if that works. But unfortunately, even after disabling some extensions some of the changes the extensions made stay in Chrome until it is reset.

Is it possible to spell (letter by letter) random words that are not recorded correctly?

In google search, when I search in Norwegian it does not work to say the name of the link. I found that I have to press TAB key manually, before the TAB command is working. Then I have to say Tab 17 times to get to the first search result. Is there an easier way to click on the different search results?

By the way, "select sentence" and "unselect" command does not work.
And "period", "question mark" and "exclamation mark" only write the word in letters and not the signs(English language).

605. Posted By: Jeff - - November 15, 2021, 4:14 pm
Hi Jon,

Thank you for letting us know. It is possible to spell words just by speaking the letters all in a row but it doesn't always work well. It is probably better to create a custom command with the replace_word() function. Here is an example of replacing "want to" with "wanna":

Phrase: want to
Action: replace_word(wanna)

For clicking on links you can say "Show numbers" and then say "Click on (number)". You can try creating a custom command in Norwegian for "show numbers":

Phrase: Vis tall
Action: add_numbers(show)

Jeff

606. Posted By: Jeff - - November 15, 2021, 4:24 pm
Hi Jon,

Thank you for letting us know about "unselect" not working. That is a bug that will be fixed soon. As for "select sentence" that should work if the website is using standard HTML textarea. But not all websites are using standards. The cursor also has to be after the sentence. If the cursor is before the sentence then you would say "Select next sentence".

Punctuation like "period", "question mark" and "exclamation mark" should work if you have "English" selected in "Settings". If you have "Norwegian" as the language then it does not work. But you can create custom commands for each punctuation mark like this:

Phrase: \s*period
Action: replace_word(.)

Commands and punctuation for Norwegian are not programmed yet. If you would like to help translate the "Commands" including the punctuation into Norwegian then that would be appreciated.

I don't know if it will work correctly in all instances. Trying to remove the Spanish accent marks might cause some problems but you could try creating 5 custom commands. One command for each vowel:

Action: replace_word($1a$2)

Phrase: (.*?)é(.*?)
Action: replace_word($1e$2)

Phrase: (.*?)í(.*?)

Hello,
First, I have to say I am very happy with that extension.
I use it at least one hour every day in language learning apps . By doing so i practice my pronunciation instead of uselessly typing numerous lines of text.
But,in this apps(as Duolingo), you have to continually switch between you mother language and the language you are learning.
Thanks to "custom commands", "switching commands" are:
- "alpha" switches to "english", "bravo" to "french", "charlie" to "italian", "echo" to "russian" and "Fox" to "Dutch"
Working like this has two inconvenients:
- the "switching command" is understood in the current language. ex: when set in Russian, "fox" is heard/types as "фокс " and charlie as=" чарли " and don't trigger the language switching.
- it takes more than 3 secs to switch
Couldn't be possible to create hotkeys to execute the custom commands on the same manner that "Alt+ S" toggles the listening on & off?
Anyway, Thanks a lot for this very useful App!
Best

Hi m.devil,

Thanks for the comment. It looks like you have done a great job creating custom commands to switch languages. Thank you for sharing! Hotkeys for custom commands may be a feature added in the future. In the meantime, if the words are being recognized differently in other languages then you can try using the OR operator with your current custom command phrases. The OR operator is the vertical pipe |

So for the words that you stated that it is hearing/typing when set to Russian, you could change those two phrases as shown below:

Phrase: fox|фокс

Phrase: charlie|чарли

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your quick reply.

As you advise me,
I already use the OR operator in the custom commands to solve some difficulty to have the command understood...

It sometimes helps :-)

Hello.
I really need a way to stop the software from automatically starting with a space.
I don't want to bore you with details, but I use it in translating subtitles, so it's lots of little bits of text, and many are in italics (which in my software is indicated with underline symbols around the text. I always have to go back and take out the space it adds at the beginning of the line.)
Your software is great and works well, but that little space around 400 or 500 times a day is annoying ;-)
Thanks for your help.

614. Posted By: Jeff - - January 18, 2022, 10:33 pm
Hi Patricia,

Hopefully I can suggest something that may help you. But I may need more information. It should only add a space if it needs one so that the newly detected speech doesn't merge with the last detected speech. Otherwise you'll have two speech results with words merged together like this: "Hi how are youI'm fine thank you". You can try this custom command:

Phrase: (.*?)
Action: script(document.execCommand("insertText", null, "$1"))

To make it work, first you'll have to go to a website with a textarea and click in the textarea. The custom command won't make a difference on the box on the extensions page because that is mainly a history box. But like I said above, I think you might end up with merged speech results.

626. Posted By: Jeff - - January 30, 2022, 2:02 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

I did research on it and I can't do it. The print screen key is a system level key and the browser is not allowed to activate it. The only other options are large APIs for taking a browser screenshot. I wouldn't add that kind of bulk to the extension. Also, all the API's require user permission with a click each time for security reasons. So it wouldn't be hands free.

Hi Jeff,
Now I cannot dictate on chrome pages. The speech is typed into the form on your website, where I also see en error message: Note: OAuth2 request failed: Connection failed (-102).

I went through the steps you suggested under "OAuth2 not granted or revoked." (except for Reset Chrome), but it didn't work. Do you have any idea what may cause this problem?
Thanks,
Laszlo


628. Posted By: Jeff - - January 31, 2022, 10:25 am
Hi Laszlo paizs,

It seems like there is some browser corruption. At the moment, I can think of 3 things to try:

1. Try removing the extension from Chrome and then add the extension again at Speech Recognition Anywhere - Chrome Web Store . Make sure that you accept and allow all notifications when adding.

2. If that doesn't work then you might try disabling all other extensions to see if one of them is causing a conflict. Then restart your computer.

3. If it still doesn't work then you might have to try to Reset Chrome settings to default as a last resort.

Hi christiaan klaas van hooff,

Creating custom commands for swear words in Edge will be difficult because Edge does not display the first letter of the word. It replaces every letter with *. You can try the following custom command formula but every blocked word would have to be a different length for it to work. Replace 4 with the number of *s Edge displays for that word.

Phrase: (\s?)\*{4}
Action: replace_word($1fred)

The extension is blocking/breaking video playback/video streaming. Well, maybe audio playback/audio streaming too.

Hi Lucian Andries,

That is odd behavior. I don't know why the update would cause videos to not play. I tested it and I didn't have the problem on my end and no other users have reported it. I'll try to change some of the code back in the next version and see if that makes a difference for you.

How can I replace a specific word in a sentence?
For example, when I enter the word 'ухан' in custom commands to be replaced with 'Ухан', when I dictate only this word the replacement is done. But when this word is part of a sentence, it is not replaced and remains in lower case

These examples are many and make the use of the extension meaningless

637. Posted By: Jeff - - February 4, 2022, 11:15 am
Hi Daniel Despodov,

You can use the replace_word() action. Here is an example:

Phrase: ухан
Action: replace_word(Ухан)

641. Posted By: Jeff - - February 8, 2022, 11:41 am
Hi Daniel,

I think I found out the reason why it's not working. The standard programming regular expression word boundary that the replace_word() function is using, only works with standard Latin ASCII characters. Please try this formula:

Phrase: (.*?)ухан(.*?)
Action: $1Ухан$2

Let me know if that works with the words you are trying to replace and then I will change the replace_word() function to work correctly in the next update. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Yup, it's working perfectly, again.

Can you tell me what the issue was, I'm dying to know? 'Cause I don't get why video specifically? It could have been just video with no audio... Weird!

PS: Please make the "Post a Comment" page on this website, to show a higher sized font in the BOX you write the comment, exclusively.
Every other text around that box is big and easy to read. But in that box I can barely make out what I read....... Or just change the font to what the entire website is using.

Please? And thank you!

647. Posted By: Jeff - - February 9, 2022, 12:03 pm

The action would be: clipboard(paste)

Here is an example of a custom command to paste from clipboard in Czech:


Phrase: Vložit( ze schránky)?

Description: Say "Vložit" or "Vložit ze schránky"


The other options for the clipboard() action are "copy" and "cut". I hope that helps!

Hi Lucian Andries,

I'm glad the videos are working again. Thank you for informing me. It seems to be some kind of Chrome bug with the timing of starting the audio analyzer and the timing of starting the web speech  api that causes this problem for some users.

As for the textbox on the comment page: Every element on the page is set to default to the browser default of 1em but it seems that Chrome insists on making fixed-width fonts (monospace) (which is what textareas use), 3 pixels smaller than everything else and won't let users manually change it. I raised the textarea to 1.15em. Hopefully that helps. If it is still too small then go to chrome://settings/fonts and change the Minimum font size to something bigger.

Yes, I read the article about screenshots in Chrome but, no, it is not a solution. It is a tool that is NOT available for websites or javascript. It is a tool just for Developers to be able to take screenshots of their work using the Developer Console.

Hi I'm using SRA trial extension on Chrome. I'm wondering, if I purchase the full version is it capable of working in other programs  other than Chrome? Or it only works in Chrome?  ( I want to use it in  a text document for example)Thank you very much

653. Posted By: jay - - February 28, 2022, 11:21 am
Sorry Jeff I have another question if you don't mind.
It appears that I need to keep the SRA tab open all the time for it to work-- is that correct? Or is that only for the trial?
But I don't want the microphone to be on all the time of course so is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to toggle the microphone on and off?
I'm really hoping that the tab does not have to be open all the time and that there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle on and off

654. Posted By: Jeff - - February 28, 2022, 11:26 am

Thank you for your question. No, SRA will not work with other programs. It only works with websites in Chrome. It will work with online notepads such as anotepad.com and it will work with Google Docs and Word online

655. Posted By: Jeff - - March 16, 2022, 12:46 pm
Hi jay,

Yes, the tab has to be open while you are using speech recognition. But you can create a keyboard shortcut that can quickly open and close the tab in the background. On the SRA tab click on "Settings" and then check the box "Start in the background" and the box "Click extension icon a second time to close the extension". You can change the keyboard shortcut key at chrome://extensions/shortcuts

657. Posted By: Jeff - - March 18, 2022, 12:11 pm
Hi John,

Are you saying that your speech is typing on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab, but it is no longer typing on a website? Which website is it not working on?

Here are a couple of things to try:

1. Right click on the extension icon in the taskbar and then click on "This can read and change site data" and then make sure that "On all sites" is selected.

2. Have you installed any other extensions lately? You might try disabling other extensions by going to chrome://extensions/ in your browser and then clicking on the switch at the bottom right of each extension so that the switch turns gray. Then restart the computer and see if it works.

Let me know if those suggestions work or not.

Hi Jeff,

So far SRA is working very good. I have a few problems but I suspect it is my hoarseness that is causing them.

The main thing is I don't have any of the custom commands you say you have put in. There are only 4 of them in the list and none of them are the "new"ones, like upper_case. How do I get these? I have already upgraded SRA and recycled the browser. No joy!

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

659. Posted By: Jeff - - March 27, 2022, 2:24 pm
Hi Dennis,

You have to create custom commands yourself. It is easy to do. First click on "Custom Commands" then click on "+ Add" and then copy and paste the phrase and then copy and paste the action. Here are the custom commands for uppercase and capitalize

Phrase: capitalize (.*?)
Action: capitalize_first_letter($1, true)
Description: Say "Capitalize hello world" to print "Hello World"

Phrase: (?:uppercase|all caps) (.*?)
Action: $1.toUpperCase()
Description: Say "Uppercase hello world" to print "HELLO WORLD"

Hey Jeff I think I found the challenge I have separate screens.
When I have speech recognition anywhere on one screen in that browser it works beautifully

However on the other screen in a separate browser if I don't have it on it doesn't work

What side on the second screen it appears in the top knob is on but I don't have the cab in that second screen active.
You are software only works on the screen where the active tab is located
If I have another window open on a separate screen without your software tab appearing even though it appears on in the top now it doesn't work

Is it supposed to work that way?

663. Posted By: Jeff - - March 28, 2022, 11:16 am
Hi Jack,

Originally, SRA had licensing and payments through the Chrome Web Store. But Google discontinued Chrome Web Store licensing and payments at the beginning of 2021. SRA 365 uses the new payments processor. SRA can now use the new payments processor as well. They both have the same features.

As far as I know, Brave browser does not currently have support for the Speech Recognition API.

Hi Stuart Cohen,

That is odd. I have not heard of that happening before so I don't know what would cause it to default to the original settings after shutting down the computer. Do you possibly have any extensions that delete cookies, local storage or history when you close Chrome? Or do you have multiple Chrome accounts that you switch between? Each Chrome account would have its own settings for extensions.

Hallo Manuela,

Möglicherweise wurde etwas in Chrome beschädigt. Sie können Folgendes versuchen:

1. Sie können versuchen, die Erweiterung zu entfernen, indem Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf das Erweiterungssymbol klicken und dann auf "Aus Chrome entfernen" klicken. Starten Sie den Computer neu und installieren Sie ihn dann aus dem Chrome Web Store
2. Wenn es immer noch nicht funktioniert, liegt möglicherweise ein Konflikt mit einer anderen Erweiterung vor. Möglicherweise müssen Sie alle anderen Erweiterungen unter chrome://extensions/ deaktivieren und dann den Computer neu starten und prüfen, ob es funktioniert.

3. Wenn es immer noch nicht funktioniert, weist Chrome möglicherweise eine Beschädigung auf, die nur mit einem Chrome-Reset behoben werden kann. Folgen Sie der Anleitung unter https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214

Hello again Jeff!

Remember the bug I reported about the word "finally" controlling the cursor?

Yeah, the issue is bigger than I initially thought... There are more words that are similar to the ones controlling the cursor movement. And it will be a long list of words for you to fix. :(

Instead, I suggest this: Add a checkbox setting to disable all voice commands regarding the movement of the text cursor. This should be easier to do.

Yes, I know about the "Disable Voice Commands (Only Speech to text will work)" setting. But this disables literally all voice commands, and I still need all the other voice commands.

Please, just add another option, that only disables everything about a cursor. So that no word will ever trigger cursor movement, instead of just be written.

That's all I ask, and it'll be perfect.
I use a wireless mouse for the small stuff, then vtt and vc for the rest. :)

Thank you!

Simple Mode is for text-to-speech (tts). If it is checked then if you use a "read article" or "read screen" command then it won't say "hyperlink" before each link. It will just read the text for the link.

Olá Armando Veloso,

Você pode simplesmente dizer: "Clique em Estou com sorte."

Ou você pode tentar um comando personalizado como este:

Frase: Google (.*?)
Ação: https://www.google.com/search?btnI&q=$1
Descrição: Diga Google Qual é o clima

all of sudden it does not work anymore, on various computers and mics.

"Error getting audio stream from getUserMedia: NotReadableError: Could not start audio source"

Mic of course works.

683. Posted By: Jeff - - June 8, 2022, 2:36 pm
Hi enrico,

I don't know why it would be showing that error. It seems that something is blocking Speech Recognition Anywhere from accessing the microphone. If there are other extensions that use the microphone or another computer program that is accessing the microphone then it could block Speech Recognition Anywhere from being able to use it. Chrome also needs to be set so that it allows Speech Recognition Anywhere to use the microphone. You can check the settings at chrome://settings/content/microphone

Thank you Jeff. Apparently it works now. Probably some misbehaving of my personal settings in chrome which was common to all computers where i work. I checked chrome microphone settings and it allows the use of the mic.
I'll tell you if i find something wrong again.

Hi

I am using the trial (with 2 days left) and can't get the full-stop 'period' or 'dot' to appear at the end of the sentence. Instead it is just writing the word?

thanks
Andy



686. Posted By: Jeff - - June 9, 2022, 2:57 pm
Hi Andy,

I'm not sure why it would not put a period when you say, "period". Have you tried saying "Full stop"? Have you modified any of the custom commands? If you have then they might be overriding it. Also, in Settings make sure that the language is set to "English". Additionally, what country are you in or are you using a VPN? Google's web speech API uses different servers for different countries. It could be that the servers for your country do not have the rules for period and dot. If that is the case then you may need to create a custom command like this:

Phrase: \s?(period|full stop|dot)
Action: replace_word(.)

Unfortunately, with that custom command you will need to pause for a second or two after saying "full stop" or "period" or the next word will not be capitalized.

How can I solve the problem.
Please help me.

Hi giuseppe,

In what way is it not working? What language is it set to in "Settings"? It could be that the web speech API in Edge does not support certain languages. What country are you in? It could be that the web speech API in Edge does not support certain countries. I am not sure.

Yes thank you It works now I put the license number and it works on Google Edge too.

I take the opportunity to ask you a question.

On Google Edge it puts question marks on me automatically instead on Google it doesn't why?

I would like to solve this problem because it is much more convenient for me if it puts the question marks automatically.

Can you help me solve it please Thank you.

690. Posted By: Jeff - - June 11, 2022, 11:33 am
Hi giuseppe,

The web speech API programmed for Microsoft Edge automatically adds punctuation to sentences. But the web speech API programmed for Google Chrome does not.

I programmed a simple "Auto Punctuation" that you can enable in "Settings" but it is very limited. It only works in English and you have to pause for two seconds at the end of each sentence for it to know whether to put a period or a question mark.

I've just installed the software and purchased the upgrade. I had some problems getting it to insert the text (which it was recognizing) other than in places like search boxes.

I got that working, but it's not insert full stops. I say "full stop" and it usually puts that into the yellow box, but when the text is inserted into the document, it inserts the words instead.

I'm not feeling very satisfied at the moment..

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the video. Out of thousands of users I have only heard from one other user that "period" was not working for him. But he never got back to me. I'm baffled, but possibly using VPN or a certain custom command or another extension might be causing the issue.

I can give you a custom command to change "period" and "full stop", but it is kind of clunky and it would be nice to know the source of the problem. Here is the custom command. The problem with it is that if you don't pause for a second or two after you say "period" then the next sentence will not start with a capital letter.

Phrase: \s?(period|full stop)
Action: replace_word(.)

Hallo Jürgen Voigt,

Am besten deaktivieren Sie alle "Einstellungen" und dann auch alle "Benutzerdefinierten Befehle". Das sollte alles auf Standard setzen. Wenn es immer noch nicht funktioniert, versuchen Sie, nur eine Einstellung namens "Kontinuierlichen Spracherkennungsmodus deaktivieren" zu überprüfen. Die Spracherkennung erfolgt durch Google auf den Servern von Google. Wenn es immer noch nicht funktioniert, scheint es, als hätten Sie ein Internetproblem und keine ordnungsgemäße Verbindung zu den Google-Servern oder ein Mikrofonproblem, und Sie müssen möglicherweise ein anderes Mikrofon ausprobieren.

699. Posted By: Jeff - - September 3, 2022, 12:09 pm
Hi Fadil,

In what language do you want to disable punctuation marks? Can you give me an example of what you are saying, what it is printing, and what you would like it to print instead? In English you could try creating a custom command like this that replaces "." with " period":

Phrase: (.*?)\.
Action: replace_word($1 period)

Unfortunately, I can't seem to come up with a custom command to replace the arabic language character "أ" with "ا" because every time I try to print arabic characters it reverses the direction of the text and the custom command doesn't work.

Hey Jeff!

Can you tweak a little the built-in voice commands? I'm having trouble with them on video streaming websites.

For example on YouTube, when I say "Click Full Screen", it just highlights the button and shows its nametag on top. If I say it again, it clicks on the nametag, which results in playing the video.

After saying it a million times, it works from times to times...
I am using a shotgun mic for long distance on my HTPC, but even saying it close to the mic I get misses... Meaning it doesn't understand what I'm saying most of the time.

Can these voice commands be tweaked a little, or are they using the Google API for Google Assistant as well? :(

But if they can be tweaked, then can you tweak them to work on websites with different Java Players as well?
Here are two websites that use multiple sources for the videos:

Hi Lucian Andries,

Unfortunately, Chrome has a strict security policy that does not allow certain actions without the user using the mouse or the keyboard. Fullscreen is one of them that they do not allow. If you have the Developer Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) open at the time that you say "Click full screen" then you will see this error in the console: "Failed to execute 'requestFullscreen' on 'Element': API can only be initiated by a user gesture."

No, I did not have any console open. The extension just didn't want to work.
To make it work I had to use a VPN............

But the issue wasn't with the extension. The issue was with all Google Services. And the extension needs Google to work.
For some dumb reason Google wasn't working for me anymore, I had to use a VPN... I think there was a DNS issue or something. It works now.

As for the voice commands, they DO work! The issue is that it selects/clicks something else entirely... Test it on YT.
Also, it misunderstands words, despite my EN

711. Posted By: Jeff - - September 26, 2022, 1:21 pm
Hi Lucian Andries,

I must not have explained it well. Chrome doesn't allow full screen without user interaction from a keyboard or mouse. The browser knows whether it is a real mouse click or a program initiating a mouse click. So Chrome blocks "Full screen" from working with SRA. I tested it many times on YT and it always "clicks" on the correct button when I say "Click on full screen" but Chrome stops it from going full screen. I wasn't saying that you had Developer Console open, but IF you open Developer Console while at YT and then say "Click on full screen" then Chrome shows a message in the Console window that requestFullscreen failed because it was not initiated by a user gesture. If it sometimes randomly works for you, then I don't know why. It could be a glitch, or you might have used the keyboard or the mouse at exactly the same time that the extension tried to make the click.

Jeff
http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/

712. Posted By: Lucian Andries - - September 27, 2022, 3:53 am
A glitch huh? Well glitches CAN be exploited, they don't have rights...... muhahahaha lol

From my testing, on YT, it only blocks it 1-2 times max. If I continue to order it to click on full screen, it goes it after a while.

The only issue is that, when the first time gets blocked, the name tag of the button shows up. You know, when you mouse-over a button, its name pops up. And when I tell it to click on "full screen" again, it clicks on its name instead of the actual button.....
So, if it can be adjusted to ignore "name tags", this could work. As I don't mind telling it multiple times when I'm on YT. Or you can make it click that button multiple times, but only when working with a YT player...?

As for other websites, it works just fine. The only "blocking" happens on YT and their player. On other Java players there are no issues. Which means the browser itself doesn't block stuff.

Ok, using the link works.
But there's another problem...
- When using vtt, the extension writes in all text boxes at the same time...
- If I use this setting "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard", the page doesn't write anymore on all text boxes. But after the first sentence, it doesn't recognize the first word, no matter how much I yell in the mic........

For example, try saying "rhetorical question" many, many times. Only the first time it hears the first word. The rest of the time it just hears the last/second word. This api is retarded!!!!!!!!! Are there no others out there? :((

Hi Pat,

1. Google's Web Speech API automatically censors swear words. You could try making a custom command for each different word using this formula:

Phrase: f\*{3}
Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace f with the first letter and replace 3 with the number of *s that it displays.

2. Google's Web Speech API automatically capitalizes phrases that it determines are song titles or sport team names etc... There is a setting in "Settings" that you can check called "Remove Google's Auto Capitalization".

Thank you for this amazing extension program.

I deleted the program and set up again but still there is the same problem.
Could you tell me how I can fix it?

737. Posted By: Jeff - - December 7, 2022, 12:30 pm
Hi Sunny,

"Start in the background" still has to open a tab for the speech recognition. But it keeps the tab in the background instead of focusing on the tab when you click the microphone icon in the Chrome taskbar. That way you can be on another website and start speech recognition by clicking on the icon or by using the keyboard shortcut and you will still be focused on the website you are using.

You can also set a keyboard shortcut to start/stop speech recognition. (The tab will open and close in the background). In "Settings" check the box for "Start in the background" and also check the box for "Click extension icon a second time to close the extension". Now the microphone icon will start/stop Speech Recognition Anywhere and then go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser and look for "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the list. You can set up your keyboard shortcut by clicking on the pencil icon next to Speech Recognition Anywhere. It may already be set for ALT+S.

Ciao Pasquale,

Sembra che il tuo microfono non sia stato trovato. Assicurati che il microfono sia collegato correttamente e nella porta corretta. Potrebbe essere necessario scollegarlo e ricollegarlo per assicurarsi che sia aderente. Se disponi di un microfono integrato, potresti provare a riavviare Windows. Questo può aiutare. Se ancora non funziona dopo aver riavviato Windows, potrebbe essere necessario verificare che il microfono non sia disabilitato da un interruttore sul computer. Oppure assicurati che il microfono non sia disabilitato nelle impostazioni di Windows.

Windows:

Fai clic su Start ⊞ e cerca "Gestisci dispositivi audio" e fai clic su "🔊 Gestisci dispositivi audio"
In "Dispositivi di input" controlla se il microfono è elencato in "Disabilitato". In tal caso, fai clic su "Microfono" e quindi su "Abilita".

Hi Demon,

Which browser are you using? Edge or Chrome? The Web Speech API for both browsers automatically censors swear words. But they do it in different ways.

You can try the following custom command for Chrome, but you would have to make a separate command for each word:

Phrase: f\*{3}
Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace f with the first letter and replace 3 with the number of *s that it displays.

For Edge, it would be much more difficult to create custom commands to try and uncensor the words because Edge just displays asterisks without a beginning letter. So you wouldn't be able to do it for all words that are of the same length. But here is a custom command for Edge:

Phrase: \*{4}
Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace 4 with the number of *s that it displays.

Hi i think i do something wrong.
I use Chrome.

If we use the swedish word "skit" as an example.
How will the formula looks like?

747. Posted By: Jeff - - December 18, 2022, 10:30 pm
Hi Demon,

The formula for the swedish word "skit" would be:

Phrase: s\*{3}
Action: replace_word(skit)

We use otrs as a ticketing system and it creates a pop-up window to write messages to customers. The pop-up window does not take translation, presumably because the speech to text tab is open in the parent window and not in the pop-up window. It would be nice to have speech-to-text work in the pop-up window. When I talk in the pop-up window the yellow highlighted sample text shows in the background window but not the pop-up window.

Hi Eric Wheeler,

To make Speech Recognition Anywhere work in other windows click on "Settings" and then check the box for "Allow Speech Recognition in other Chrome Windows". Hopefully that will work for OTRS. Unfortunately, there may be other reasons why it may not work, like if they use a non-standard text box. Let me know if that works for you.

Hi! I am trying to dictate into a div html field that behaves like a text box. It has area-role=textarea on it, but because the underlying html is not a textare or input, it fails to dictate. Would we be able to update the extension in the future to dictate in based on html tag OR aria-role fields? My work uses several of these, div that act as text areas to support WYSIWYG editing for rich text boxes. I use this because of a disability, so not being able to dictate into them is tricky - I have to copy and paste dictated text in each time.

752. Posted By: Jeff - - January 9, 2023, 3:12 pm
Hi anna I white,

Speech Recognition Anywhere (SRA) already does work with html elements that are not textareas. That is how SRA works with Gmail, Evernote and hundreds of other websites that have WYSIWYG rich text editors. Those elements have an attribute of contenteditable="true". So I believe there is another reason that SRA is not working with those text fields from your work. Unfortunately, many internal work websites put in security measures to try and prevent malware bots or adware from fraudulently posting things. The security techniques they use block SRA from working. Sadly, no users that use internal work websites have been able to give me any kind of access to see if I can come up with a workaround to make SRA work with it. I wish I could figure out what some of these internal work websites are using because they may all be using a similar security technique.

Hi Mark,

The update that caused SRA to break was fixed over 3 months ago. Unfortunately, I closed some 3 month old support cases yesterday at the Chrome Web Store and for some reason the Chrome Web Store changed the dates to yesterday. Very annoying.

Anyway, since the extension has not been updated, if you are having an issue then it may be something on your computer. It could be another extension conflicting. You might try disabling all other Chrome extensions and then restart the computer and see if that helps. Let me know if you figure out what it is.

Hi max,

I'm sorry about the issue. What is the email address that you used to pay with? There are no payments with the email address you sent this comment with. If you purchased it through the link in the extension then it should have upgraded automatically. Either way, you would receive a receipt email that has an order number or receipt number. Copy that number and then click on the extension icon and click on "Settings". Scroll down to "Licence" and paste the order number in the field for "Order number" and click on "Check".

764. Posted By: Jeff - - January 25, 2023, 10:34 pm
Hi Clarke,

I'm sorry that it isn't always capitalizing the first letter for you. I'm not sure why because it is doing it for me and for other users. I can give you a custom command though that can help you capitalize words in the middle of a sentence.

Phrase: capitalize (.*?)
Action: capitalize_first_letter($1, true)
Description: Say "Capitalize hello world" to print "Hello World". Set true to false to print "Hello world" instead.

Sometimes it feels like speech recognition is a pet cat. That is to say it totally ignores me and refuses to show what I'm saying. Other times, annoyingly MANY other times, it completely mangles what I am attempting to write, why can't it's the same efficient accurate job that it is doing here?

766. Posted By: Jeff - - January 30, 2023, 11:00 pm
Hi Richard Marcus,

A pet cat is a good analogy. Unfortunately, there may not be much that you can do. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The speech recognition is processed on Google's servers. One reason for bad performance could be Internet bandwidth. It could be that your Internet Provider slows down on certain days or certain times because a lot of people in your area are using the Internet. It could also be that the Google servers that your location is served by slow down and have poor performance at certain times.

2. Also, if there are times when there is any background noise at your location (fan noise, air conditioning, music, voices, dogs), then the speech recognition can easily get confused and have poor performance.

3. There are two settings in SRA that you can try that may make a difference. You can try checking or unchecking "Disable Auto Gain Control" and "Disable continuous speech recognition mode".

Hallo Gernot,

Wenn Sie im Chrome-Browser mit demselben Google-Konto angemeldet sind, mit dem Sie die Spracherkennung Allerorts gekauft haben, sollte es automatisch zur Vollversion wechseln. Wenn nicht, klicken Sie auf der Registerkarte "Spracherkennung Allerorts" auf "Einstellungen", scrollen Sie nach unten zu "Lizenz" und klicken Sie auf "Überprüfen". Wenn ein Popup-Fenster angezeigt wird, klicken Sie auf "Zulassen", um zuzulassen, dass Ihr Google-Konto verwendet wird, um Ihren Lizenzstatus zu überprüfen. Wenn das nicht funktioniert, versuchen Sie, die "Bestellnummer" von einem Computer zu kopieren und auf dem anderen einzufügen.

Versuchen Sie dies auf den Computern, auf denen es nicht funktioniert:
1. Klicken Sie in Chrome oben rechts auf Ihr Google-Profilsymbol und vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Synchronisierung aktiviert ist.
2. Starten Sie die Spracherkennung an einer beliebigen Stelle und klicken Sie auf "Einstellungen" und scrollen Sie dann nach unten zu "Lizenz".
3. Klicken Sie auf "Prüfen" und prüfen Sie, ob es sich zur Vollversion ändert.
4. Wenn immer noch "Testversion" angezeigt wird, müssen Sie möglicherweise Ihre Bestellnummer in das Feld "Bestellnummer" eingeben und auf "Prüfen" klicken.

and "Disable continuous speech recognition mode (Works better for some users but not for others)"

Hi Jeff, still says: Error getting audio stream from getUserMedia: InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'start' on 'SpeechRecognition': recognition has already started.

780. Posted By: Jeff - - February 15, 2023, 11:58 am
Hi ooo,

"Error getting audio stream from getUserMedia: InvalidStateError": That is the first time someone has reported that error. It might be a program or Chrome extension installed that is using audio. It could be a screen recording or a webcam extension also. Try removing that other program.

"Failed to execute 'start' on 'SpeechRecognition': recognition has already started": That can possibly mean two things: 1. Another website or extension is already using speech recognition. Remove the other one because Chrome only allows speech recognition one time. 2. Or you have two Google Chrome profiles open at the same time and Speech Recognition Anywhere is already running in the first one. Chrome only allows speech recognition one time.

If you are seeing the error but speech recognition is working then you can ignore the error or you can try removing the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension and then reinstall from the Chrome Web Store.

Please try the following to be able to instantly start and stop Speech Recognition Anywhere:

1. First make sure that the extension icon is pinned to the Chrome taskbar by clicking on the Chrome extensions icon that looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece in the top right corner of Chrome. Look for Speech Recognition Anywhere and click on the pin icon 📌 next to it.

2. Click on the extension icon and click on "Settings". Check the setting "Start in the background" and "Click extension icon a second time to close the extension". Now you can click on the extension icon to instantly start/stop speech recognition in a background tab.

3. You can set a keyboard shortcut to start/stop instantly by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser. Look for Speech Recognition Anywhere and click on the pencil icon ✎ next to it and type your keyboard shortcut. It may already be setup for ALT+S

That is odd. Usually the Web Speech API automatically capitalizes the first letter of names.

If those settings are not checked and it is still making the name lowercase then please try creating this custom command:

I have a cequest and one question.
It would be perfect if I could see what language is set now before speaking by looking at the screen,
that way I wouldn't have to delete what I said in the language I didn't intend to and say again in new language .

second, about custom commands, I want to set a custom command that go back to the previous page(Alt & arrow left),
so tried to creat it with two action but neither of them worked
so could you help me with that?
phrase
戻る
action
keypress("ArrowLeft", false, true)
keypress(37, false, true)
By the way, keypress("z", true, false) for Ctrl+Z worked

Hello rei,

The extension shows the language it is set to on the extension tab where it says "Current speech recognition language".

Please try this custom command to go back to the previous page:

phrase: 戻る
action: browse(back)

Actually though it should already be built into the extension by saying either 戻る or 前のページに戻る. But you would need to delete or disable your custom command with the phrase 戻る for it to work.

Currently getting an error that says there's an issue with Speech Recognition and that I should consider resetting Chrome. I tried this, as well as reinstalling Chrome, with no success. What's odd is that it does recognize the speech but it is very delayed. Like 30 seconds behind.

803. Posted By: Jeff - - March 24, 2023, 7:51 pm
Hi Eclilpse,

I'm sorry about the problem you are having. It sounds like something has changed on your computer. It could be another extension that caused corruption in Chrome. But you said you tried a Chrome rest. Make sure you followed the instructions at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214

Unfortunately, it could also be something else in Windows causing an issue. If there are any new programs installed in Windows then they might be causing a problem. Also, a corrupted Windows update or corrupted antivirus update could cause an issue. It could also be a virus or malware. It can be so many different things that it is difficult to know. You might need a computer technician to look at it.

Hallo,
Eine Frage wenn ich die Spracherkennung starte un Stadt.d etwas meh etwas.r Schreiben mehr schreiben. muss dann Schreibt es manchmal nicht mehr? obwohl ich es ins Microfon spreche Schreibt es dann auf einmal nicht mehr was kann das sein? wie kann ich das ändern? Lg Manuela

812. Posted By: Jeff - - April 13, 2023, 12:30 pm

Hallo Manuela,

Es sollte nicht aufhören zu schreiben, aber manchmal für ein paar Benutzer. Es kann durch verschiedene Gründe verursacht werden:

1. Ein langsamer Computer oder zu viele Erweiterungen in Chrom oder zu viele Programme, die in Windows ausgeführt werden.
2. Langsames Internet. Manchmal kann Ihr Internet schnell sein und manchmal kann es langsam sein, wenn es viele Internetnutzer in Ihrer Region gibt. Google hat viele Server auf der ganzen Welt. Es kann Zeiten geben, in denen der Google -Server, der Ihr Computer herstellt, zu verlangsamt.
3. Manchmal hilft ein anderes Mikrofon oder eine andere Mikrofonposition.

Sie können auch versuchen, zwei Einstellungen in "Einstellungen" zu ändern, die einigen Benutzern manchmal helfen:
"Deaktivieren Sie die Autokontrolle (überprüfen Sie dies, wenn sich Ihr Mikrofonvolumen weiter ändert)"
Und
"Deaktivieren Sie den kontinuierlichen Spracherkennungsmodus"

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply, it is only happening on one website in particular. It is a medical charting website, but doesn't seem to happen anywhere else. I'm happens on the Google Chrome browser, but doesn't happen on the same website if I use Microsoft Edge browser (but Chrome works faster than Edge) The language is in English. I have tried adjusting a couple of different settings on the browser, on the speech recognition page, and on the medical documentation page, but can't seem to identify why it's doing that.

814. Posted By: Jeff - - April 13, 2023, 4:54 pm
Hi Lucas,

Thank you for providing more details about the issue. It seems odd that it prints everything twice in Chrome but not in Edge. That leads me to believe that there could be a conflict with another extension. Did you try disabling all other extensions for Chrome and then restart the computer? You have to restart the computer because sometimes Chrome and extensions stay in memory until the computer is restarted. 

To see if there are any more details, you can try pressing CTRL+SHIFT+J at the website to open up Developer Console. Then speak a phrase and see if any errors show up in the Developer Console window. If there are some errors then let me know what they are.

Speech recognition anywhere 365 works on most all websites. Unfortunately it will not work on HubSpot. When I'm creating a new contact or adding a note it will not type into the fields. I have another speech to text app called Speech agent and that works perfectly on HubSpot. One of the reasons why I paid for your extension is that speech agent did not work for Google emails and then punctuation command stopped working. So now I have both of them installed. I'd really like to get it working for HubSpot so that I can uninstall speech agent and just use your product.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

816. Posted By: Jeff - - April 18, 2023, 11:32 pm
Hi Josh,

I'm sorry that it is not working well with HubSpot. I've tested adding contacts and if I don't do things just right then HubSpot stops working with SRA and I'm not sure why. For instance, if I say "Click on create contact" and then start saying "john at email dot com" then it does the wrong thing and then it won't input speech into any of the fields even if I click on them. It gets stuck in a mood. I have to then reload the page. Then if I say "Click on create contact" and then say "Click on email" first and then say "john at email dot com" then it prints the text in the field. Then I can say "Next" and it moves to the First Name field and then I can say "John".

I have not had any problems with adding a note though. Are you creating a note in contacts? There might be another extension conflicting. You might try disabling all other extensions and then restart the computer and see if that helps. Let me know.

Hi timo,

Google's Web Speech API automatically censors offensive words. You could try making a custom command for each different word using this formula:

Hi!

I would like to report an issue when using French.

The word "plus" (more in French) is not written with the letters p.l.u.s but with the symbol "+".

For example :
Peter est+ patient que Paul.
(Peter is more patient than Paul.)
instead of :
Peter est plus patient que Paul.

It is rather a problem because it is a very frequent word.

Thank you for your help and for making "Speech Recognition Anywhere" available !

Have a great day !

Hi Laurent Boquet,

I'm sorry about the issue with the French word "plus". I will try to fix that in the future. In the meantime, please create this custom command. It should fix the issue for you:

I have a problem dictating messages in email.

When I compose a new message, and start dictating, it appears to take some of the dictation as commands opening and closing tabs creating new tabs as new blank messages. This does on a brand new compose of an email message or in the reply section when replying to an email message.

I have two different computers home and office and it happens on both of computers.

I have recorded a video of what the system does while I'm dictating. If you need it I can send it to you.

830. Posted By: Jeff - - May 10, 2023, 12:25 am
Hi Jack,

I think I figured out the problem! Sorry about that. In the latest update I added a feature that sends the speech as keypresses automatically if it isn't able to input your speech into a textbox on the website. Apparently you have keyboard shortcuts on in Gmail so that when it sends the speech as keypresses then it presses shortcut keys in Gmail. I will try to stop that in the next update.

In the meantime, I think there are two ways that you can stop the problem. I think the problem only happens if you have the setting "Disable Auto Focus on nearest text box when speech is heard" checked in Speech Recognition Anywhere. So you can either uncheck that setting or you can disable keyboard shortcuts in Gmail. To disable keyboard shortcuts in Gmail click on Settings > See All Settings > General > Scroll down to "Keyboard Shortcuts" and click on "Keyboard Shortcuts Off". Then scroll down to the bottom and click on "Save Changes".

It looks like you found out how to enable the hotkey already but here are the instructions:

1. On the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab click on "Settings" and then check these two settings:
"Start in the background"
and
"Click extension icon a second time to close the extension"

2. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in Chrome and then look for Speech Recognition Anywhere in the list and set your keyboard shortcut. It may already be set for ALT+S.

When I speak the first sentence does not record my first word. The speech recognition has gotten worse in understanding what I'm saying. I have to repeat myself two or three times. And the first time it does record anything it is several words that are misunderstood. If I fail to turn off your speech to text. Anything I turn on including videos crashes. What is going on with your software? And why doesn't it do its speech to text perfectly like it does in this box?

868. Posted By: Jeff - - November 17, 2023, 5:25 pm
Hi Richard Marcus,

I'm sorry about the issue that you are having. No one else has mentioned any issues so there must be a problem on your computer or in your area. Unfortunately, there can be many reasons for quality issues. The most common is corruption in the browser or conflicts with other extensions. You can try disabling all other extensions at chrome://extensions/ and then restart the computer and see if that helps. It can also be corruption in the operating system or too many programs running in the background. Some users found out that there was a problem with their microphone but they didn't know until they purchased a new microphone. Other users found out that there were some problems with their Internet at certain times during the day. Let me know if you figure out what the issue is.

Hello. There is a big problem with capital letters... When I stop talking in the middle of a sentence (which is very often) then SR continues with capital... The right result would be capital letter only if I write a full stop by my own. Is there a possibility to have an option about this ?

873. Posted By: Jeff - - November 23, 2023, 2:03 pm
Hello Nikos Salonitis,

I'm sorry about the issue you are having. It sounds like you are using Edge browser. Edge automatically adds punctuation to the speech recognition. There is a setting in Speech Recognition Anywhere to remove the auto punctuation that Edge adds. But when you disable it then you will have to say "period" or "question mark" at the end of your sentences for punctuation. Go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and click on "Settings". Scroll down and check the box for "Disable Microsoft Edge Chromium Auto Punctuation".

2. Under "Default Behavior" click on "Sites can ask to use your microphone".
3. Scroll down to "Not allowed to use your microphone".
4. If Speech Recognition Anywhere is listed then click on the trash can icon next to it.
5. Restart Speech Recognition Anywhere and when it asks to "Use your micophone" click on "Allow".
6. If it still says "Permission denied" then on the Speech Recognition Anywhere screen look for an icon in the address bar that looks like a movie camera with a little red x on it. Click on it and then click on "Always Allow" and then click on "Done". Restart Speech Recognition Anywhere.

Hi Demon,

On the extension tab click on "Settings". Look for "Remove Google's Auto Capitalization" and let me know if that is checked. Unfortunately, Google's web speech API automatically capitalizes phrases that it thinks are things like song titles, movie titles, sport's teams, etc... Putting a check next to "Remove Google's Auto Capitalization" removes Google's auto capitalization but has the side effect of also lowercasing proper names. The only solutions to have proper casing for first names is to uncheck that setting or create a separate custom command for each name. Here is an example:

Phrase: peter
Action: replace_word(Peter)

Remove Google's Auto Capitalization is NOT checked.

This is checked in the program only.
*Prevent system from sleeping while "Speech Recognition Anywhere" is listening

Hi Demon,

I'm sorry. I'm not sure why it is doing that to you. Do you have any custom commands? One of them could be causing it. Or you could be in an area where Google's servers for the Web Speech API have decided that names shouldn't be capitalized. If that is the case then then only solution I can think of is to create a custom command for each name.

quote command is adding spaces. ie. " hello there ". Any way to fix? Thanks

889. Posted By: Jeff - - January 6, 2024, 11:28 pm
Hi jamie,

For the correct spacing you could try two different custom commands. One for the opening quote and one for the closing quote. Then you would have to say the statement in one breath: "Opening quote hello there closing quote" to print "hello there". Here are the two custom commands:

Phrase: Opening " (\S+)
Action: replace_word("$1)

Phrase: (\S+) Closing "
Action: replace_word($1")

The custom commands for quotes didn't work for me. It just writes out what I say - opening " hello there closing "

893. Posted By: jamie - - January 7, 2024, 2:21 pm
It does work if you change the (S+) to (.*?) though. Not sure what the S+ was about?

894. Posted By: Jeff - - January 7, 2024, 6:11 pm
Hi jamie,

Sorry about that. It was supposed to be \S+ but the textarea erases the backslash if I don't put two. But good job figuring out that you can use .*? as well!

As for the tab: It always has to be open but it can open in the background if you select the setting: "Start in the background". Also select the setting "Click extension icon a second time to close the extension" then you can start/stop the extension quickly in the background with the icon. You can also use a keyboard shortcut to start/stop in the background with those 2 boxes checked. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and look for Speech Recognition Anywhere in the list.

Hi Jamie,

As for voice search: Chrome browser only allows one speech recognition engine to be on at a time. So you can either turn off the extension first as noted earlier or you can use Speech Recognition Anywhere to do the Google search for you. You can try a special custom command where you can say "Google what is the weather" etc. Here it is:

Phrase: Google (.*?)

Action: url(https://www.google.com/search?q=$1, Google, true); speak_element(".kp-header,[aria-level='3']")

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for that. If it has to stay open it would be cool to have an option to open it as a pinned tab. Would keep it out the way and I often use "close other tabs" but don't want to turn off the speech recognition.

I like the extension! Cheers


897. Posted By: jamie - - January 8, 2024, 10:28 pm
A few things I've noticed:

Sometimes it isn't picking up single words. So if I say "test" I get nothing, but then if I say "test" again it writes "test test". Seems to randomly miss words as well.

If I double click a word to correct it on websites like gmail or google keep it adds a space after the corrected word which is annoying. Interestingly, it doesn't do it in this text box.

The commands need to be said perfectly to work. Sometimes it writes "you paragraph" instead of the command new paragraph for example. This tends to not happen with other voice recognition solutions. Which leads to another question " can I enter new lines in replace_word? So something like replace_word(nn).

Thanks!



898. Posted By: Jeff - - January 9, 2024, 12:27 pm
Hi jamie,

I'm sorry about the issue. It uses the speech recognition engine that is built into the browser (Edge or Chrome). Google Chrome's SR works better than Edge's, but it doesn't have auto punctuation. Many people say that Google Chrome's Web Speech API is the best SR they have used. So you might try the extension in Chrome.

There are two settings that you can try that work better for some users in some locations. On the SRA tab click on "Settings" and look for "Disable Auto Gain Control" and "Disable continuous speech recognition mode" near the bottom. Try both together and both separately. Let me know if it works better or not.

Unfortunately, replace_word() doesn't support new lines.

Jeff
https://www.seabreezecomputers.com/

899. Posted By: Jamie - - January 9, 2024, 1:01 pm
Hey Jeff,

My results were from chrome - that's my main browser.

With further testing, disabling auto gain control was bad for accuracy. Disabling continuous speech didn't seem to have a noticeable effect. The accuracy is pretty decent overall though.

I think with other speech recognition solutions they recognize "you paragraph" as close to "new paragraph" and fire the command. I guess you can't do much about that from your end. It's a shame because it often picks up "closed parenthesis" instead of "close parenthesis". Which leads me to another question (.*?) closed parenthesis - replace_word($1)) doesn't work. Any way to achieve that? replace_word(($1) does work interestingly.

"If I double click a word to correct it on websites like gmail or google keep it adds a space after the spoken corrected word which is annoying." Any way to fix this from your end?

Thanks

Hi Jamie,

There is a recent update to Speech Recognition Anywhere. Version 1.7.15. It has a few features that I hope will be beneficial to you:

1) replace_word() has been upgraded with advanced features so you can create a custom command that will hopefully fix quotes automatically. So you can just say "quote" at the beginning and end:

Phrase: " (.*?) ?"
Action: replace_word("\u$1")
Description: Remove spaces in quote and capitalize the first letter

2) replace_word() allows new lines now so you can create this custom command if you need it:

Phrase: you paragraph(.*?)
Action: replace_word(\n\n$1)

3) There is a new setting for "Pin Extension tab".

4) I believe the problem of double clicking a word and it adding a space after correcting it has been fixed.

Hello,

I love this extension and have been using it now for about 2 years. Work recently transitioned from GSuite to Microsoft. I downloaded from Edge but says "Speech recognition error detected: language-not-supported. . Initializing error. Doing a browser reset Reset may help fix this error.Speech recognition error detected: language-not-supported.
Initializing..." I am speaking English. Tried closing opening browser and restarting computer.

How can I get this to work and how can I transition my paid subscription over to Microsoft Edge?

Thank you!

912. Posted By: Jeff - - February 14, 2024, 8:52 pm
Hello Brittany Kunza,

I'm sorry about the issue. I haven't seen this error before but hopefully one of my suggestions will help:

1. Make sure that Edge is up to date. In Edge Click on ... > Settings. Scroll down on the left and click on "About Microsoft Edge".
2. In Speech Recognition Anywhere click on "Settings". Try changing the language from "Default" to one of the "English" languages. Close and restart. Try another "English" language if the first one you choose doesn't work.
3. There might be another extension or website in Edge that is conflicting.

To use your subscription in Edge, first go to the previous Speech Recognition Anywhere in Chrome and click on "Settings" then scroll down to "License" and copy the "Order Number". Then go to Edge and paste the order number in the same place in Speech Recognition Anywhere.

Hi Alex,

You can't deactivate the word-censor. Google's Web Speech API automatically censors offensive words. You could try making a custom command for each different word using this formula:

Phrase: f[*]{3}
Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace f with the first letter and replace 3 with the number of *s that it displays.

You will have to make a different command for each word and each variation.

Hi Jeff! I'm a Korean-Japanese translator who is in a wheelchair and also has disabilities in my hands and arms. You have no idea what you've done for me. Speech Recognition Anywhere has always been an essential program for me, but thanks to the Windows Add-On you've developed, now I've gained wings as a translator with disabilities. You are a hero to me! It's still the perfect program for me, but if I can ask for one more thing, I would like to be able to use voice commands in Korean as well.

Unfortunately, the payment processor, Paddle does not have an option without auto-renew. It looks like your subscription renews on November 8. You can let me know a few days before and then I can cancel your subscription.

Hello, instead of recognizing commands as commands for anything but punctuation marks, it writes the command out as a word as if I'm dictating it. In your tutorial video, it effortlessly recognized all of your commands such as "compose" for a new email. For me, if I say "compose," it just writes the word compose in the email search field. If I try to go back and edit a word and say "select" and then the word, it simply writes select (word). How do I get it to recognize that I'm giving a command and not saying a word that I want it to type?

923. Posted By: Jeff - - April 3, 2024, 1:45 pm
Hello Robin,

"Compose" is not a command. To click on the "Compose" button say: "Click on compose". To select a word try saying: "Find (word)". Because it may find that word anywhere in the page you may want to try it with a phrase instead that would be more unique. Example: "Find (phrase)". After you have edited the phrase then to move the cursor to the bottom of the editing box say: "Move cursor to the bottom". Or you may want to say: "Move cursor to end of paragraph".

To see a list of commands, go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and click on "Commands". I hope that helps!

Hello DAVID WARNER,

I'm sorry that "Play beep after speech is detected" is not working consistently for you. I tested it on my computers and it is working consistently for me. Since I can't duplicate the issue I don't have very many suggestions for you. One thought: Maybe if your computer resources are low due to a lot of tabs in Chrome being open or a lot of applications in Windows running it may not play the beep. If you are able to solve the issue, then please let me know.

Thanks for getting back with me Jeff. The beep works fine on my old laptop but on my new souped-up desktop not so much. I'll keep hunting for Clues and I will figure it out and let you know what I find. Sometimes if I go back to the speech recognition anywhere tab and dictate a little in there it starts working for a while in other applications and then a few minute later it will stop working. I'll figure it out but thanks.

927. Posted By: Jeff - - April 5, 2024, 9:58 pm
Hello DAVID WARNER,

I don't know if this will help or not in your hunt for clues, but Google Chrome developers have been experimenting with performance for some users such as putting inactive tabs to sleep. You might try going to chrome://settings/performance in your browser and then make sure that "Memory Saver" is not on. There might be some other settings there that you might want to disable as well. Another thought is that maybe Chrome or an extension is blocking pop-ups. Sometimes the "beep" has to be done in a pop-up window when the browser is not in the foreground. You might look for clues of a pop-up being blocked.

Thank you Jeff,

That helped some. Other than when I give the "Find" command though, it's still not recognizing when I give any of the other Edit commands that are listed in what you all provide. When I say "uppercase (word)," it doesn't do anything. When I say any of the commands other than "Find," it doesn't do anything. It should be able to work within a Google doc " correct?


929. Posted By: Jeff - - April 5, 2024, 10:04 pm
Hello Robin,

Unfortunately, Google Docs doesn't use a standard textbox so many of the commands don't work with it. At the end of 2021 Google Docs changed to not even use real text. It uses a canvas element which is an image so normal javascript text search functions do not work with it.

I wasn't aware that the "uppercase" command wasn't working with Google Docs. Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully, I can fix that in the future. I do have some workarounds for the "find" and "uppercase" commands to work in Google Docs if you create two custom commands. Try creating these commands:

Phrase: Find Phrase (.*?)
Action: keypress(f, 1); $1; keypress(27)
Description: Google Docs Find Phrase. Example: Say "Find phrase thank you"

Phrase: (?:uppercased?|all caps) (.*?)
Action: $1.toUpperCase()
Description: Say: "Uppercase HELLO WORLD" or "All Caps HELLO WORLD"

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your Clues because they helped me to find what I think is the answer. If I left click on the extension icon and go down to "view permissions" there I can change the "audio" and "midi" to always and that seems to solve the problem for me. Then I have to go back to the open tab , which I have pinned , and click restart.

931. Posted By: Jeff - - April 7, 2024, 11:48 pm
Hello DAVID WARNER,

Thank you for letting me know the answer that you found for the "beep" sound not always playing. It may be useful to other users in the future. So on my Chrome, if I right click on the extension icon and then click on "View web permissions" then for "Sound" it is set to "Automatic (default)". The other options are "Allow" and "Mute". Hopefully "Allow" will let it always play the sound. I don't think it would be the "MIDI" setting because the extension is playing an MP3 audio file, not a midi file.

Hello alohaJ,

Unfortunately, SRA will not work directly with Brave browser because the makers of Brave browser have not programmed or licensed a speech recognition system. If you have Windows then you can get the speech recognition to work in Brave in a roundabout way:
1. You would still have to use Chrome as the host for the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension and check the box in "Settings" for "Allow speech recognition in Microsoft Windows and Windows Applications".
2. Then you can use the Windows Add-On which can be downloaded at https://seabreezecomputers.com/speech/windows/
3. Then you can re-start SRA in Chrome and then start Brave browser and the speech recognition should work in Brave at that point.

Hi David,

Are you using the SRA Windows Add-On with the Outlook app for Windows? If that is the case, there is a small bug in the Windows Add-On.

If the above doesn't work then you might need to remove the extension, restart the computer and then add it again from the Chrome Web Store. Make sure that you accept all permission requests.

Hi Mikko,

It still works with Google Docs. I did notice that it sometimes is not putting a leading space in front of a user's speech input when it should. Is that what you mean by it "doesn't work with google docs"? It looks like something has changed in the programming of Google Docs. Hopefully there will be an update to fix the problem mentioned above. If you are having a different issue with Google Docs then let me know.

947. Posted By: Jeff - - September 10, 2024, 2:46 pm
Hi Mikko,

I'm sorry about the problem you are having. No other users have reported that problem with Google Docs so something must have changed on your computers. In the "Settings" section of Speech Recognition Anywhere did you change any settings recently? If it stopped working on two computers at the same time then it seems that you might have "sync" on in Chrome browser. You might have installed an extension or a Google Docs Add-On in one browser and then it synced with the other browser on the other computer. So you should look to see if you recently added a Chrome extension or a Google Docs Add-On.

Hi again, the problem is solved, thanks for the help! It seems to have been a synchronization issue. When I disabled Chrome extensions on both computers (which I didn't do at first), SRA started working again in Google Docs. Nevertheless, there was something strange going on because Chrome on one of the computers didn't have synchronization on.

Hi Mikko,

I'm glad it is working for you again in Google Docs! Thank you for letting me know. Do you know which extension you disabled that allowed it to work again?

I had the following extensions, all of which are now disabled:

- Application Launcher For Drive (by Google)
- Avast SafePrice
- Google Docs Offline
- Zotero

I removed them all at once so I can't really say which was the culprit.

Hi Mikko,

Thank you for letting me know which extensions you had installed. That list might come in handy if another user has a problem with Speech Recognition Anywhere not working in Google Docs.

Hello FRANTZ PIERRE-LOUIS,

Thank you for the additional information and the attached file. I think I was able to duplicate the issue. It was difficult because it took about 15 tries before it finally did the space at the beginning of a new line. Hopefully, there will be an update soon with a fix to the issue.

Hi Brian,

It looks like you may have reinstalled Speech Recognition Anywhere. If you don't have your Chrome account synced then you need to re-enter your order number into the extension settings. Go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and click on "Settings". Scroll Down to "License" and enter your order number in the "Order Number" field and then click on "Check".

Hello Paddy,

Google's and Edge's Web Speech API automatically censor profanity. You can try making a custom command for each different word using this formula:

Chrome:

Phrase: f[*]{3}
Action: Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace f with the first letter and replace 3 with the number of *s that it displays.
You need to make a different command for each word and variation.

Edge:

It is more difficult to create a custom command that allows bad words in Edge because Edge does not display the first letter of the word. So if you use multiple four letter words then you may need to also match other words before or after the bad word. Here is an example custom command for Edge:

Phrase: Phrase: [*]{4}
Action: replace_word(fred)
Description: Replace 4 with the number of *s that it displays.
You need to make a different command for each word and variation.

Hello i am a streamer on twitch and have found your extention vvery helpful, is there no custom command i can use for an auto send function?my chat finds it weird when i say enter at the end of every phrase and i can understand why, also if i could get a custom command that makes it stop listening after a certain amount of time like 5 or 10 seconds that would be so handy, i know there is a way to use the keyboard with hotkeys and with clicking of the extension but those options mean i have to set my controller down and in a game that im playing for money its a hard thing to do. so i would so appreciate if you could help ive tried a few java commands myself but haven't got the programing skills to make one work.. i hope you can help me out! please jeff if you still check these let me know if there is an auto send or auto hit enter key.. and a auto disable speach to text that i could implement then using a wake up phrase to initiate vtt id love you forever! lol

965. Posted By: Jeff - - October 9, 2024, 6:06 pm
Hi mtman1987,

You can create a custom command that always presses enter after your speech. The problem with a command like this is that it overrides every other command. So you won't be able to use any other commands while it is enabled. Here is the custom command:

Phrase: .*?
Action: $0; enter_key();
Description: Always press enter after speech input

You can also enable a wake phrase in "Settings" on the SRA tab. Check the box for "Use Voice Activation Wake Up phrase" and type a wake word or phrase in the box. It will require the wake phrase again if you don't say anything for 2 seconds. You can also check the setting: "Only require wake up phrase again if there is no speech for more than 20 seconds". I hope that helps!

Hi,

I have been using your software for about a week now and I installed the windows software so I could type in any Windows app and my preferred Windows app is Mozilla Thunderbird email. For the most part it works fine. Occasionally it concatenates words and capitalizes words that it shouldn't. Is this a known problem that will get corrected with future software development or is there something that I can do about this now?

968. Posted By: Jeff - - October 21, 2024, 4:23 pm
Hi Jake,

I'm sorry about the issue. I have not received any other reports of an issue like this with Mozilla Thunderbird. I just tested it for almost an hour and I wasn't able to duplicate the issue. I'm using Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (64-bit) and Mozilla Thunderbird 128.3.2esr (64-bit). Can you let me know what versions you are using? Are there any phrases or groups of phrases that always produce the issue so that I can try to reproduce it?

Hi Jeff,

I rebooted my computer and the problem is gone. I'm having trouble reproducing it. I have a tendency to run a lot of programs and use up most of my memory and I'm thinking that perhaps this problem crops up when my memory is running low.

It's happened a few times but never after a fresh reboot.

I'm going to be doubling my memory from 32 to 64 so the problem should go away permanently when I do that.

Thank you for getting back to me and I will let you know if the problem persists but for now you can put it on the back burner.

I'm running a variant of Thunderbird actually called betterbird. It is Thunderbird with some upgrades. This is my version number: 115.16.1-bb34 (64-bit)
My computer has 32 gigs of RAM is running Windows 11 and has an I-9 processor in it so it's a pretty Zippy machine but I load hundreds of tabs in my browsers and run virtual machines and I think that once I get too much stuff running your software gets those little hiccups.

970. Posted By: Jeff - - October 24, 2024, 11:11 pm
Hi Jake,

Thank you for letting me know that it runs better after rebooting. Hopefully more RAM will help. I'm not sure if it will though. Unfortunately, Windows has never been very good at multitasking. Chromium browsers aren't very good at multitasking either. Having hundreds of tabs open and running virtual machines will probably have some performance issues even with more RAM. And for some reason, even to this day, memory never seems to be adequately freed after closing applications, without a reboot.

Hi Jeff,

I figured out a better way to fix the problem when it occurs. It turns out that when I'm having problems writing an email and it's concatenating words and capitalizing words all I need to do is save it as a draft close the window and reopen it as editing again and the problem is gone. Weird, but it seems to work ok.

Thanks for creating the software. I've been a dragon Naturally Speaking user for decades. Now they only have a professional version that's very expensive.

Jake.

972. Posted By: Jeff - - November 1, 2024, 11:53 pm
Hi Jake,

Thank you for letting me know. I've read that Thunderbird is very resource intensive, especially using a lot of RAM. Since Betterbird is a fork of Thunderbird it might be resource intensive as well.

975. Posted By: Jeff - - December 20, 2024, 3:06 pm
Hello Pello Smith,

I'm sorry about the issue. Are you using a Microsoft Mail like http://outlook.live.com? If so then the only way I can get it to scroll the message body is by changing the email settings to not have a reading pane so that the message opens up full screen. To do this, click on Settings ⚙ at the top right of the webpage. Click on Mail > Layout > Hiding Reading Pane. Then click on "Save". Click on "Close Settings". Now when you open a message it will open full screen and you can say "Page down" or "Page up" and it will scroll the message body. Then say "Click on close" to close the email message and go back to the email list.

What will it take for speech recognition anywhere to work in Brave browser? How can I help with this process? Is it as simple as convincing the brave browser creators to support speech recognition using the Web Speech API? I am determined to stop using Chrome.

977. Posted By: Jeff - - December 22, 2024, 4:59 pm
Hello AlohaJ,

Yes, you would need to convince the creators of Brave browser to support speech recognition. But others have asked but they still haven't done it. It isn't very easy. The creators of Brave would need to license a speech recognition technology and then build powerful servers to host the speech recognition processing of thousands of users. It would cost them a lot of money.
If you don't want to use Chrome then another option is using Microsoft Edge. Speech Recognition Anywhere also works in Edge browser.

Hello my voice dictation anywhere has stopped working I'm not sure if it's because of a recent Chrome update but I've tried reinstalling the software and that did not help sometimes my microphone in my windows toolbar does not appear I've noticed that. The Chrome extension seems to be working and opens up a pin window as always however I did notice it opened up two windows once and it constantly says initializing. I know my microphone is working because I can dictate through the outlook software dictate option. Thanks

981. Posted By: Jeff - - February 18, 2025, 9:55 pm
Hi DAVID WARNER,

It sounds like you already had Speech Recognition Anywhere running in another Chrome window. A limitation of the Web Speech API is that it can only run in one Chrome window. If you start it in a second one then it will never initialize and it can make the first instance not run well. It can get confusing if you have multiple Google profiles because each one opens a new Chrome window. I would recommend that you close all Chrome windows that you have open and then restart your computer. Hopefully, that will make sure all Chrome windows are closed and not running in the background.

If you need to do dictation in more than one Chrome window then make sure that you have turned it off in the other window first. Or you can leave it on and it will also dictate in the other Chrome window if you go to the SRA tab and click on "Settings" and check the box for "Allow Speech Recognition in other Chrome Windows".

Is it possible to create a new line?
Example: I'm speaking, and the tool is writing.
At some point, I'll be done with that sentence.
Now I have to hit return in order to go to the next line so I can continue speaking.

I do that so I can copy and paste into workflowy and the lines (seperated by return)
are indented in their own bullets instead of one long sentence.
TY



986. Posted By: Jeff - - March 25, 2025, 10:51 am
Hi john bogs,

You can start a new line by saying "new line". Certain websites, like workflowy, that do something special sometimes require you to say "press enter" for a new line in order for it to do its special operation. You will need to pause before and after you say "press enter".

Hello Ivan Kawerin,

I'm sorry about the issue you are having. This is the first time I have heard of it printing a question mark where a "new line" starts with the "new line" command in a PDF report. Are you able to tell me the name of the web-based medical report app? I might be able to get a demo of it and do some testing. 

Also, can you try something for testing? Instead of saying "new line", try saying "Press enter". Unfortunately, you won't be able to say "Press enter" quickly in the middle of a sentence like you can with "new line". You will need to pause before and after saying "Press enter". Let me know if when you say "Press Enter" instead of "new line" if it still prints the question marks or not in the final PDF report.

I am a reviewer texts and books and sometimes I need to say literally 'this comma is wrong because...' and the extension puts 'this, is wrong..'

997. Posted By: Jeff - - July 15, 2025, 12:00 pm

To always have 'the comma' or 'this comma' print the word 'comma' please try this custom command for English:

Phrase: (the|this|that),
Action: replace_word($1 comma)
Description: Say "the comma" or "That comma"

When you are done speaking then it should convert all instances of 'the, ' and 'this, ' to 'the comma' or 'this comma'. 

Here is a similar custom command for Portuguese:

Phrase: (a|esta),

Hi,
I'm having a problem with custom commands in Speech Recognition Anywhere.

Here are the commands I've configured:

bfib ' φ
bdużes*fib ' Φ

"duże fi" means "capital letter fi" in Polish

Saying "fi" works correctly " it outputs φ.
However, when I say "duże fi", I get "duże φ" instead of Φ.

I've tried multiple variations and tested different regex patterns, but none of them work as expected.
It seems like the second command is not being triggered, and the bfib rule is applied instead.

How can I make "duże fi" produce Φ properly?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Marek

999. Posted By: Jeff - - July 16, 2025, 12:00 pm
Hi Marek,

Are you wanting only to print Φ by itself? Or do you want to say a word that starts with capital letters? If you are just trying to print Φ by itself then try this custom command:

Phrase: duże φ
Action: replace_word(uΦ)
Description: Capital letter Φ in Polish

However, if you want to start a word or a sentence with a capital letter then try this custom command:

Phrase: Duże (.*?)
Action: capitalize_first_letter($1)
Description: Capitalize first letter in Polish

One more question please. What the command for

1) starting a specific word with a capital letter:

Praia, Estrela, Menino...

Beach, Star, Boy....


2) and for putting "à". An example in Portuguese.

Eu fui à praia.

I went to the beach. (In english)


Because sometimes the extension just puts 'Eu fui a praia'. And I would love correct this in a practical way, just 'saying' to the extension.

1001. Posted By: Hello Elaine Regina, - - July 17, 2025, 11:01 am
Hello Elaine Regina,

You're welcome! I'm glad it worked. Thank you for letting me know. I'll try to answer your new questions below:

1) To start a specific word with a capital letter you can try this custom command:

Phrase: Capitalizar (.*?)
Action: replace_word(u$1)
Description: Say "Capitalizar Title"

2) Putting "à" instead of "a" in the right context is more difficult. I don't know if it will work correctly. You would need a surrounding word that helps with the correct translation. But I don't think it will work in all cases. For instance, you could try this custom command:

Phrase: (fui|vamos) a
Action: replace_word($1 à)
Description: Change a to à

That command would work well for:

Eu fui à praia.
Vamos à praia.

But it would also change "Vamos a casa" into "Vamos à casa".

This has been bugging me for a couple of years and I finally got it resolved thanks to you ! by the way I absolutely love your tool and couldn't live without it. I tried to get the windows version working but it didn't work by the way tried all the settings that you recommended but it never activated inside windows applications like cursor. Your tool is so fast and natural compared to microsoft's voice to text native window system. So I would love it to work in cursor terminal. I end up using a terminal in AA panel because it's web-based and can use speech recognition anywhere.

One of the most useful productivity tools I've used in the past 15 years. Feels like it's been 15 years I'm not sure how long I've used it for but it's been over a decade! Great job Jeff.

Hi Greg Wasmuth,

I'm glad to hear that the custom command worked for you! I'm sorry that the Windows Add-On didn't work for you with Cursor. I just downloaded Cursor and tested it and it is working for me including in the Cursor Terminal box. So I'm not sure why it isn't working there for you. Hey! I think you just helped me discover another bug! It appears that the Windows Add-On is not working with SRA365. So make sure that you are using the Windows Add-On with SRA and not SRA365 until the bug is fixed.

Hola, Heff.

Lo de los paréntesis funcionó perfecto. Gracias!
Sigo consultando:
cuando dicto medidas en un reporte médico, por ejemplo cuando digo "mide 20 por 35 milímetros", me imprime "20 * 35 mm", lo cual está muy bien pero me gustaría reemplazar el "*" por "x". ¿Es posible?
Gracias nuevamente.

1013. Posted By: Jeff - - August 21, 2025, 11:32 am
Hola Iván,

Para reemplazar "*" por "x", prueba el siguiente comando personalizado:

Frase: [*]
Acción: replace_word(x)
Descripción: Reemplaza * por x

Avísame si funciona.

Why am I being charged twice per month now? I see one charge from http://Paddle.net and another from the new provider. Can you please explain this double billing?

1015. Posted By: Jeff - - September 3, 2025, 10:33 am
Hi Jana,

I'm sorry about the problem you are having. Paddle should not be charging you anymore. At least not for Sea Breeze Computers and Speech Recognition Anywhere. But Paddle does billing for thousands of companies. According to the records, your last bill from Paddle should have been on 2025-07-03. Can you forward me a copy of the receipt of your recent bill from Paddle?

Hola, Jeff.
¿Es posible hacer un comando personalizado que reemplace una frase corta por un párrafo?
Por ej:

Si digo: "torax frente"

Que reemplace por "
Estudio: RX. DIGITAL DE TORAX FRENTE:

No se reconocen focos de consolidación alveolar.
Silueta cardíaca en límites normales.
Senos costofrénicos laterales libres.
"

respetando los saltos de línea.

Gracias!

1017. Posted By: Jeff - - September 5, 2025, 11:11 am
Hola Iván,

La mayoría de los cuadros de texto admiten \n como salto de línea. Por lo tanto, el siguiente comando personalizado debería funcionar si el cuadro de texto que estás usando admite \n.

Frase: torax frente
Acción: \nEstudio: RX. DIGITAL DE TORAX FRENTE:\n \nNo se reconocen focos de consolidación alveolar. Silueta cardíaca en límites normales. Senos costofrénicos laterales libres.\n

Observa que tuve que poner un espacio entre \n \n para un salto de párrafo. Al poner \n\n sin espacio, no se creaba un párrafo. Probablemente sea un error que intentaré corregir. Avísame si te funciona.

Ciao Emiliano Manfredi,

Mi dispiace per il problema con il tuo abbonamento. Sembra che il server delle licenze sia temporaneamente inattivo. Ora dovrebbe funzionare. Se vedi ancora "PROVA GRATUITA", segui queste istruzioni:
1. Nella scheda Riconoscimento vocale ovunque, clicca su "Impostazioni".
2. Scorri verso il basso fino a "Licenza" e clicca su "Verifica".
Lo stato dovrebbe cambiare in "active". Per favore, fatemi sapere se ora funziona.

Hallo Joe,

Es tut mir leid, dass du Probleme hast. Heute Morgen haben einige andere Nutzer Probleme gemeldet. Sie befinden sich alle in Thailand oder Kambodscha. Die Spracherkennung wird auf den Servern von Google verarbeitet. Offenbar gibt es auf den Servern von Google in diesen Ländern heute ein Problem. Während Google versucht, das Problem zu beheben, kannst du die Erweiterung im Microsoft Edge-Browser ausprobieren. Wenn Sie es im Edge-Browser verwenden, wird die Spracherkennungstechnologie von Microsoft verwendet, die auf den Servern von Microsoft verarbeitet wird. Bitte gib mir Bescheid, ob das funktioniert.

Many times the program pauses for a while and then pastes a double copy of the text I've spoken. Is there any way to prevent that?

1027. Posted By: Jeff - - November 12, 2025, 10:34 am
Hello Mats,

It is not normal for it to pause and write a double copy of the text. There seems to be something wrong at your location. Can you tell me which website you are using when it prints double text? If the speech repeats on a certain website there is a workaround that might work. In Speech Recognition Anywhere click on "Settings" and then check the box for "Use key presses to send text". This setting may not work on other websites though.

As for the pausing, there could be other extensions causing a conflict. You could try disabling all other extensions and try again. Follow these steps:
1. Go to chrome://extensions/
2. Disable all other extensions by clicking on the switch to the right of each extension so that it turns gray.
3. Restart the computer.

Let me know if that helps.

I have certain technical terms and brand names that I use in my business, I would like to be able to have these words automatically used in speech to text. Is there a way to create a custom dictionary or a custom phrases? The package doesn't seem to learn over time, because it repeats the same mistakes over and over again.

1033. Posted By: Jeff - - December 12, 2025, 11:51 am
Hi Robert,

That is a really good question! You can use custom commands for that with the replace_word() action. Here is an example. Let's say that there is a product called Voice2MIDI. But when you say "Voice2MIDI" the speech recognition sometimes writes "Voice committee" or "Voice to MIDI". You can use this custom command to fix that:

Phrase: Voice committee|voice to MIDI
Action: replace_word(Voice2MIDI)
Description: Always replace "voice committee" or "voice to MIDI" with "Voice2MIDI"

The replace_word() parameter doesn't have to be just one word. It could also be replace_word(Voice 2 MIDI);

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hello, I've been using your program on Microsoft Edge for a year now without any problems, but since today I'm getting this message:

Speech recognition error detected: network. Reinstalling Chrome or resetting Chrome can help fix this error. (NOTICE: Custom Chromium browsers such as Vivaldi and Brave do not support speech recognition using the Web Speech API. Please use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.) . Initializing error. Resetting this can help fix the error.

I've already reset the settings. But it still doesn't work. Can you help me?

Toprac

1037. Posted By: Jeff - - January 3, 2026, 11:07 am
Hello,

It appears that something has been corrupted on your computer or something has been installed or updated that is blocking the speech recognition. Please try the following:

1. Try removing Speech Recognition Anywhere by right clicking on the extension icon in the browser toolbar and then click on "Remove..." Before removing you may want to "Export" any Custom Commands that you have as a backup and you may want to take a screenshot of your "Settings" on the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab. Then restart your computer and then reinstall the extension from the Add-On Store.

2. If the above doesn't work then another extension may be causing a conflict. Try disabling all other extensions by going to edge://extensions/ in the browser and disable all the other extensions by clicking on the switch to the right of each extension. Then restart your computer.

Please let me know if either of the above steps works for you.

I say wake up. But. The red on light only stays on for a.few seconds then it stops. in the middle of a sentence. Need a little time to pause between words.

1040. Posted By: Jeff - - January 6, 2026, 11:55 am
Hello Jeanne Lexchel,

If it is not staying active long enough then there are two things that I can recommend for you to try:

1. The easiest thing would be to go to the Speech Recognition Anywhere tab and click on "Settings". Under "Wake Up Phrase Settings" look for the setting "Only require wake up phrase again if there is no speech for more than 20 seconds" and check it.

2. Technically it shouldn't be stopping in the middle of a sentence unless it doesn't hear any words for about 2 seconds even if the above setting is unchecked. It could be that the volume for your microphone is set too low. You can adjust volume controls of the microphone by clicking on Windows Start button ⊞ and then type "system sounds" and click on Change system sounds > Recording > Microphone > Properties > Levels. After adjusting the volume level and clicking "OK" then you can test how loud or quiet it is at this website: https://seabreezecomputers.com/record/

Hi Jeff, I'm wondering if you can help me, over the last couple of months speech recognition anywhere, appears to stop listening and typing into the text field and only begins again when I refresh the extension page. I am using Chrome. I hope you can help.

1046. Posted By: Jeff - - January 24, 2026, 2:55 pm
Hi Tony,

I'm sorry about the issue you are having. It seems that something is corrupted on your computer. It could be another extension. The first thing to try is to disable all other extensions at chrome://extensions/ by clicking on the switch at the right side of all other extensions so that it turns gray. Then restart your computer. It is important to restart your computer after disabling the extensions because sometimes Chrome leaves things in memory until the computer is restarted. Let me know if it works better for you after that.

Can i use Speech Recognition Anywhere also in a sidebar with Gemini AI. I tried it but didnt work



1048. Posted By: Jeff - - February 2, 2026, 11:57 am
Hi teeke,

Speech Recognition Anywhere is working with the Gemini side panel just fine for me. Are you sure you are using the Gemini side panel and not the Gemini pop up window in Chrome? It won't work with the "◆ Gemini" pop up window because that is like a special chrome:// page and Google won't allow extensions to work there.
But the new Gemini side panel which is accessed by clicking on the ◆ on certain Google websites works. Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat. When the side panel is open make sure that your text caret is in the "Ask Gemini" box. Then your speech will type in that box. After you speak, pause for a second and then say "Press enter".

Thank Teeke

1050. Posted By: Jeff - - February 2, 2026, 10:15 pm
Hi Teeke,

I think I understand your problem now. Google doesn't allow extensions to interact with each other. So Speech Recognition Anywhere won't work with a Sidebar extension. Google does have a Gemini Side Panel that you can activate on certain Google websites: Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat. I'm not sure if it is available in your location. On the Gmail website the ◆ icon to start it is right next to the settings gear icon. I think it requires Google Workspace to work. If you don't have a Google Workspace account and you don't want to pay for one then I think you can sign up with Google Workspace Labs at https://workspace.google.com/labs-sign-up/join if it is available for your location.

Hello Ahmed Abdullah,

Hallo,
ich hatte viele Jahre dieses Sprachprogramm. Irgendwie gab es plötzlich das Abonnement nicht mehr und ich musste heute neu kaufen.

Jetzt funktioniert nichts mehr.

Das Mikrophon ist nach wie vor zugelassen und ich habe die Erweiterung deinstalliert und den PC neu hochgefahren und die Erweiterung wieder installiert.
Aber leider funktioniert immer noch nichts.

Was kann ich tun, damit das Sprachprogramm wieder läuft?

Danke für eine schnelle Antwort.

Beste Grüße

1054. Posted By: Jeff - - February 13, 2026, 8:19 pm
Hallo Prissi,

Es tut mir leid, dass du Probleme hast. Hast du zwischen den Abonnementverlängerungen versucht, eine andere Spracherkennungserweiterung zu installieren? Es scheint, als würde etwas auf deinem Computer einen Konflikt verursachen. Möglicherweise ist es eine andere Chrome-Erweiterung. Um das zu testen, gehe bitte in deinem Browser zu chrome://extensions/ und deaktiviere alle anderen Erweiterungen, indem du auf den Schalter neben jeder Erweiterung klickst, sodass er grau wird. Starte anschließend deinen Computer neu und versuche es erneut. Lass mich bitte wissen, ob es funktioniert hat.

Vielen Dank!

Hallo,

nein ich habe nichts anders als vorher auch. Ich habe alle Erweiterungen gelöscht und auch diese Spracherkennung deinstalliert und wieder neu installiert. Das Mikrofon wird von der Seite aus auch erkannt, aber es wird kein Text sichtbar. Es gibt auch keine Fehlermeldung.

Seltsam ist nur, dass die Software auf meinem PC funktioniert aber auf meinem Notebook, auf dem ich mit dem gleichen Account angemeldet bin leider nicht mehr.

Ist das inzwischen so gewollt, dass es nur noch auf einem Gerät läuft, obwohl es immer der gleiche Googleaccount ist?

Für eine Antwort wäre ich dankbar.

Beste Grüße

Hallo Prissi,

Die Spracherkennung sollte auf beiden Geräten funktionieren. Irgendetwas muss sich kürzlich auf dem Notebook geändert haben. Ich habe zwei Fragen an dich:
1. Bewegt sich die rote Leiste im Tab "Spracherkennung Allerorts", wenn du ins Mikrofon sprichst?

2. Fallen dir Programme in Windows ein, die kürzlich installiert oder aktualisiert wurden?

Um nach kürzlich installierten oder hinzugefügten Programmen in Windows zu suchen, drücke ⊞+X auf deiner Tastatur und klicke dann auf "Installierte Apps". Stelle die Sortierung auf "Installationsdatum" um.

Bitte teile mir deine Ergebnisse mit. Vielen Dank!

Yes. There is a keyboard shortcut to start and stop speech recognition. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser and look for Speech Recognition Anywhere in the list. You can set the keyboard shortcut by clicking on the pencil icon 🖉 . The keyboard shortcut needs to be in combination with the ALT or CTRL key. It may already be set to ALT+S.

I'm sorry it isn't working on Microsoft Edge browser. Microsoft's speech recognition servers seem to be down in parts of Europe and West Asia. This happened before in March 2025. There is nothing that can be done until Microsoft fixes the issue. In the meantime, you will have to use speech recognition in Google Chrome browser.

Bonjour Joel Le Cam,

Je suis désolé que cela ne fonctionne pas. Cela fonctionne pour d'autres, je ne comprends donc pas pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas pour vous. Avez-vous créé des commandes personnalisées ? Si oui, je vous recommande de les désactiver toutes afin de vérifier si l'une d'entre elles est à l'origine du problème. Tenez-moi au courant.

Vous pouvez également essayer de créer une commande personnalisée comme celle-ci :

Phrase : Défilez vers le bas
Action : scroll_it(down)

Vous pouvez modifier la phrase à votre guise pour voir si une autre formulation fonctionne mieux.
