User reviews
Great app! Thank you so much, this app helped me to play chess again after I was paralyzed. This is my only opportunity to enjoy life, so I can't even imagine what I would do without your work.
I have a couple of suggestions that will greatly simplify my interaction with the site.
Please add the ability to click on the "rematch" and "find a new opponent" buttons with your voice.
Please add it is possible to turn off dictation using voice, so that I can further use the built-in dictation from the operating system.
Please add support for other languages. Considering that my dictation is in my own language, it is very difficult to name the figures. The same goes for the fields.

Joey Prater, 2024-01-03This extension is so trash, I recommend you delete the extension and those other users who said it was good was probably just you in another account.
