Summary

Analyze keywords

I recently had an idea for a free extension. I am constantly typing with my caps on and don't become aware of it until I have finished typing. Very frustrating. My thought was: what if I created an extension that gave an audible warning when more than three caps are typed in a row, alerting you to look up at the screen? My new extension integrates wonderfully with both Firefox and Chrome browsers. My goal was to assist the visually impaired and the elderly who want to stay involved and current with social media, news and work. But even the best typist can forget their caps are on. Get CapAlert before having to type that whole paragraph again!

Thank you, Zodiak Paredes

This extension is handy for anybody who, like me, sometimes forgets to turn Caps Lock off. It's also simple to install. I imagine it would be even more handy for anybody with vision problems who can't see that they are writing too many words in all caps after neglecting to turn Caps Lock off.
