I can't find the Speech Recognition Anywhere icon on the Chrome toolbar

A recent Chrome update has changed things so that newly installed extensions do not show up on the Chrome toolbar. Instead they are hidden behind an "Extensions" icon on the toolbar that kind of looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece. To pin the Speech Recognition Anywhere icon to the toolbar click on the "Extensions" icon 🧩 that looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece and then look for "Speech Recognition Anywhere" in the list and click on the pin icon 📌 next to it.

Basically, no speech data, text or audio, is sent to us or our servers at seabreezecomputers.com. The speech recognition is processed by Google's servers through Chrome. You can read the Google Chrome Privacy Whitepaper here: https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html. If you are using Speech Recognition Anywhere with Microsoft Edge browser then the speech recognition is processed using Microsoft's servers. You can read the Microsoft Edge Privacy Whitepaper here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/privacy-whitepaper/.

As of 1/12/2021 Sea Breeze Computers collects and stores user's Google email addresses and ids for licensing status because Google is deprecating Chrome Web Store payments.

The Speech Recognition Anywhere extension works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on these browsers in Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux. Also, there is now a Windows Add-On that works with the extension that allows the speech recognition to work with Microsoft Windows and Windows programs and applications like Office and Word. You can install the Windows Add-On at https://seabreezecomputers.com/speech/windows/

   2. Right click the extension icon and click on "Remove from..."
   3. Restart your computer
   4. Add Speech Recognition Anywhere from the Chrome Web Store.

   4. Then reinstall Speech Recognition Anywhere from the Chrome Web Store.
   5. Follow step 2 and 3 above.

To uninstall the extension right click on the extension icon on the Chrome toolbar and then click on "Remove from Chrome...".

Unfortunately, recent updates in Chrome have caused new extension installations to be hidden under a new Chrome "Extensions" icon that looks like a puzzle piece. If that is the case, then click on the "Extensions" icon 🧩 on the Chrome toolbar.

You did not give the extension permission to use the microphone when you installed it in Edge or Chrome. Please follow the instructions below for your browser:

Chrome:

1. Go to chrome://settings/content/microphone in the browser.
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 video 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.

Edge:

1. Go to edge://settings/content/microphone in the browser.
2. Make sure the switch next to "Ask before accessing (recommended)" is on.
3. Scroll down to "Block".
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 microphone" 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 microphone 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.

It looks like something has changed in your system settings (Windows or Mac) or another app is using the microphone. You can try looking in these areas:

Windows:

1. Click on Start ⊞ and search for "Microphone Privacy Settings" and click on it.
2. Make sure that it says "Microphone access for this device is on". If it is off then click on "Change" and turn it on.
3. Make sure that "Allow apps to access your microphone" is on.
4. Scroll down to "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone" is on.
5. You may need to restart Windows after making changes.

Mac:

1. Check System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Camera & Microphone.
2. Make sure Chrome is listed and has a check in the checkbox.

It appears that your microphone is not being found. Make sure that the microphone is plugged in snug and in the correct port. You may need to unplug it and plug it back in to make sure it is snug. If you have a built-in microphone then you might try restarting Windows. That may help. If it still doesn't work after restarting Windows then you may have to check that the microphone isn't disabled by a switch on your computer. Or make sure the microphone is not disabled in Windows settings.

Windows:

1. Click on Start ⊞ and search for "Manage sound devices" and click on "🔊 Manage sound devices"
2. Under "Input devices" see if the Microphone is listed under "Disabled". If it is then click "Microphone" and then click on "Enable".

You can't deactivate the word-censor. Google's Web Speech API automatically censors offensive words and foul language. You can 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 need to make a different command for each word and each variation.

To create a custom command go to the "Speech Recognition Anywhere" tab and click on "Custom Commands" and then click on "+ Add".

It looks like your system text size is too large to fit the entire "Sign in with Google" window. You might need to temporarily lower the text size. Try following these steps:

Windows

1. Click on Windows Start ⊞
2. Type size
3. Click on 💻 Change the size of text, apps, and other items
4. Change "Scale and layout" to 100%

You may need to restart your computer. Then when the "Sign in with Google" window opens click on "Allow". Afterward you can reset your text settings to the percentage it was at previously.

If the above does not work then please try this suggestion: The two options at the bottom are "Cancel" and "Allow". You want to select "Allow". If you press the Tab key on your keyboard then it should cycle between the clickable options in that window. So if you press the Tab key 7 times then it will be on "Allow" and then you can press Enter to select it. So again, as you keep pressing the Tab key it will eventually highlight "Share data safely." When that is highlighted press Tab 2 more times and "Allow" will be highlighted below the screen and then press the Enter key.

This is Google Chrome's autoplay policy to not allow videos to play without the user interacting with the website using a keyboard or mouse first. Chrome Developer Console shows this error: Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first. https://goo.gl/xX8pDD.

Currently, there are two workarounds for this issue.

1. If the embedded video is from youtube then you can say, "Watch on youtube" and the website will be redirected to youtube.com where the video can autoplay.
2. You can use the "Press play" or "Click on play" phrase if you enable the autoplay command line flag for Chrome. You have to edit the Chrome shortcut to look something like this: chrome.exe --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
   For more information see: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/

To stop the "play", "Listen To" or "Youtube" 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.

No. Even though Brave browser is a Chromium based browser it is developed by third-party developers and does not have access to the speech recognition part of the Web Speech API because the developers of Brave do not want to pay Google to use it.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

No. Even though Vivaldi browser is a Chromium based browser it is developed by third-party developers and does not have access to the speech recognition part of the Web Speech API because the developers of Brave do not want to pay Google to use it.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

As of January 2022, Speech Recognition Anywhere will work with the new Microsoft Edge Chromium. Microsoft has been testing the Web Speech API in the Edge Chromium browser. Currently the speech recognition in Edge automatically adds punctuation. There is an option in the Full version of Speech Recognition Anywhere to disable Edge auto-punctuation. There is no guarantee as to the quality or the continued operation of the speech recognition in Edge Chromium.

Speech Recognition will not work with Edge Legacy (the previous version of Microsoft Edge).

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

No. Speech Recognition Anywhere will not work with Mozilla Firefox or other Gecko based browsers at this time. Mozilla never finished programming and setting up the servers for the Speech Recognition part of the Web Speech API. Speech Recognition Anywhere uses the Web Speech API which is built into Chrome and Chromium. The Web Speech API technology in Chrome was developed by Google developers. Also Chrome and Chromium were developed by Google developers.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

No. Speech Recognition Anywhere will not work with Android browsers at this time. Currently a Speech Recognition Anywhere app is not being planned. Some Apps claim that they can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store but none of them seem to work with Speech Recognition Anywhere probably because they don't have the Web Speech API speech recognition technology programmed into the browser.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

No, it will not work with Apple iPhone or iPad devices. There are currently no plans for an iPhone or an iPad app of Speech Recognition Anywhere.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Chrome, Chromium and Edge Chromium. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

At this time the Speech Recognition Anywhere extension only works on Google Chrome, Google Chromium and Edge Chromium browsers. It works on Windows, Mac and some versions of Linux.

A subscription is for one person only. So if the different Google accounts or Google profiles are for different people then each person should purchase their own subscription.

If the different Google Profiles or Gmail accounts are for one person only then one subscription will work. However, the extension will only work with the account it was first purchased with. To work with the other accounts please follow these instructions:

1. Start Speech Recognition Anywhere and click on "Settings".
2. Check the box for "Allow Speech Recognition in other Chrome Windows".
3. You will need to keep Speech Recognition open and running in the the main Google window with your primary Google Profile and then start another Google window with your other Google Profile. As long as you have Speech Recognition Anywhere running in the Google window with your primary account then speech recognition will work in other Chrome windows.

A subscription is for one person only. So if the different computers are for different people then each person should purchase their own subscription.

If the different computers are for one person only then one subscription will work. You may need to enter your order number in the other computer. Use these instructions:

1. Start Speech Recognition Anywhere and go to it's tab.
2. Click on "Settings".
3. Scroll down to "License".
4. Enter your receipt # or order id into the Order Number field and click on "Check".

Unfortunately, if you didn't export your custom commands with the "Export" button in Speech Recognition Anywhere then you will probably not be able to get the custom commands back. Extension data is not stored in the Windows folder but in the Users folder.

For Edge for Windows the data is usually at:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\gpommikkpjaicfnmdnjmpkjfkehnfpmi
or
\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\gpommikkpjaicfnmdnjmpkjfkehnfpmi

For Chrome for Windows the data is usually at:
%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\kdnnmhpmcakdilnofmllgcigkibjonof
or
\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\kdnnmhpmcakdilnofmllgcigkibjonof

For Chrome for Mac the data is usually at:
Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Extension Settings/kdnnmhpmcakdilnofmllgcigkibjonof

(%username% is your Windows account user name)

Theoretically, you could copy the data in the folder to the new folder if you have a different Windows username than previously. If not then it probably already saved over the data. It may mess things up, but if you find the older extension folder under a different user name you could try copying it into your new \Users\%username%\... folder.

Try to add a "custom command" and use the replace_word() action. Here is an example:

Phrase: smiley face|happy face|smiling face emoji
Action: replace_word(😊)
Description: Say: "Smiley face" or "happy face" or "smiling face emoji"

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.

For questions and issues about your bill, please go to https://paddle.net/ or send an email to customer support.

The speech recognition is processed using the browser's Web Speech API. Most people say that it is the best speech recognition they have used. There isn't any personal training that you can do but it is always being trained and improved by thousands of users around the world. There are a few things that you can try to do to improve the accuracy:

1. Some users have found that if they speak a little more slowly and more distinctly than usual then it makes less mistakes.
2. Microphone placement and microphone volume can make a difference. Different types of microphones work better in different environments. In some cases an omnidirectional mic is better and in other cases a cardioid pattern mic is better.
3. Sometimes people don't realize that their voice is not clear in the microphone or they don't realize their microphone is having an issue until they record and playback their voice. In Windows you can use "Voice Recorder" to record and playback. You can adjust the advanced volume controls of the mic by right clicking on the 🔊 speaker icon in the Windows taskbar and then click on Sounds > Recording > Microphone > Properties > Levels. Sometimes having the microphone volume at 100 causes distortion. Lowering it to around 90 or so can sometimes help.
4. If the speech recognition regularly transcribes a word or a phrase incorrectly then you can try using the replace_word() action in a custom command. Here is a simple example:
   Phrase: ok
   Action: replace_word(okay)
   Description: Always replace "ok" with "okay".

Unfortunately, slowness and performance issues can be caused by a number of reasons. The speech recognition is processed on Google's servers. Google has servers all around the world. Sometimes the Google server that is serving your connection gets busy with users and slows down. Other times it can be your Internet service provider that gets busy with users and slows down.

Another possible reason can be programs on your computer that are accessing the Internet (possibly updating) at certain times. This can cause your Internet bandwidth to slow down. Sometimes it is other extensions as well. To see if other extensions are causing a slow down issue you can disable all other extensions at chrome://extensions/ and then restart your computer. There is also a setting that you can enable in Speech Recognition Anywhere that helps some users when they have problems with slowness from Google's servers. Click on "Settings" and check "Disable continuous speech recognition mode (Works better for some users but not for others)".
