Good extension with potential to be great. But it's buggy and stops working unexpectedly on my Mac. I keep saying stuff only to realize it didn't type anything, thus wasting my time. Fix the bugs and I'll update my rating.

So far so good. It's great for web navigation/ scrolling. I was able to install, do read the instructions on how to use, and I was up and running in about 5 minutes. The "tag" feature is amazing. Way better than Dragon Naturally speaking. I used Read and Write and liked that but you need a teacher/paid account to use all the features. I have been searching for something like this for a VERY long time since all my work is online. and this is free. I think it would be nice to use STT (speech to text-took me a minute to figure out the lingo-TTS/ STT-LOL) in google docs to write them, and I may consider upgrading after playing around this for a bit. This is an excellent tool for people with learning differences or physical limitations, and so many others...but constant mouse clicking is bad for me, so being able to say: "tag" then the number (tags each "clickable" item on the page-even within applications like google docs--just can't use dictation in the doc with the free version), it opens whatever "tag #" you say. I think this is an absolutely amazing tool from what I've seen so far.
