Create Google Calendar Event

Creates an event in your Google calendar based on selected text.

Create Google Calendar Event Chrome Extension

'Create Google Calendar Event' is a Chrome extension that enables quick creation of Google calendar events. Users highlight text containing a date, possibly with a time and event title, right-click and select the option 'Create Google Calendar event for...'. The extension interprets different date formats and assumes the next occurrence if a year is missing. By default, it considers missing parts, for example, an event lasting all day if no time is indicated and 'Event' as the title if no title is present. The selected text that doesn't depict the date or time forms the event title.
