What is Voice Actions for Chrome?

Voice Actions for Chrome is a unique extension enabling users to control their Chrome or Chromium browser via voice commands. It's essentially a voice-automated assistant, which can help in searching the web, opening web pages, searching for music, getting maps and directions, and seamlessly switching between tabs, all by spoken queries. It fosters hands-free, voice-activated control over your browser, greatly enhancing user's browsing experience.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Voice Actions for Chrome lets you control your Chrome/Chromium browser with your voice. It is similar to (but not affiliated with) voice actions and voice search apps available for Android and iOS, but it is the first such app available for Chrome.

Features include: • Search the web with spoken queries. • Open web pages and Chrome apps just by saying their names. • Get maps or directions by saying the name of a location or destination. • Search for music by saying the name of an artist, album, or song. • No need to search through piles of tabs—just speak the title and Voice Actions will find it. • Activate hands-free—just say “OK Chrome”✴️

Permissions: • Needs access to your tabs for the “switch to ~” command • Needs access to your installed apps for the “launch ~” command

You must still enable Chrome app launching in options before the extension will search your apps • Needs access to your top sites for the “I'm feeling lucky” command

Very good, but the 'go to website' command gives me a redirect notice.
