Summary

Handsfree lets you do speech recognition-based web browsing.

Voice commands:

  • up/down: Scroll page up or down
  • top/bottom: Scroll to top or bottom of page
  • back/forward: Go back / forward in history
  • refresh: Refresh the current page
  • {number}: Redirect to the link associated with that number

A couple of caveats:

  • You have to click "Allow" when prompted for mic permissions
  • Non-HTTPS sites will continue prompting for the above permission
User reviews
I had to keep allowing mic access for every page I went to making the hands free impossible. Still, I'd love to see more from this. (Including the ability to enter text into forms) Please keep developing it.
