Extension summary

Cedille allows the user to add the correct symbols and accents when typing French. This app was designed to be a productivity tool, as most of the symbols needed are not found on the Qwerty or Azerty(French) keyboard. Instead of copy/pasting the characters into the document a user is writing, this app provides an easy and quick method on character and accent integration.

Once you've typed your text, simply click on the extension and it will add proper characters to the active element.

Optionally, if you have text selected and click the extension, it will convert and replace only what was selected.

Created during the AngelHack 2019 Seattle Hackathon event.

User reviews

It wasn't working at first because I'm using ScriptSafe, a security extension that allows you to allow/block javascript on specific websites. If you have the same problem, you need to allow scripts on "h0h46kcpo6.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com". I didn't have a lot of time to test it but from what I've seen it seems to work pretty well. Merci!

This is a game changer for me! I can now easily write proper French with a qwerty keyboard.
