Voice Search requires a microphone in order to provide you with a search method based on speaking.
But before using it you have to create an Apple Script with the code described below and to save it in ~/Applications. Here is the script:
do shell script /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --enable-speech-input
After that you can simply click on the microphone installed in the toolbar and say kittens to search for kittens. If you specifically want pictures of kittens, say google images kittens. Want to learn more about Softpedia? Say Softpedia wikipedia.
Voice Search comes pre-loaded with the following default services: Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Wolfram|Alpha.
You can also add your own user-defined search engines. Voice Search also integrates a speech input button for all websites using HTML5 search boxes, all of the default search engines` websites, Facebook, Twitter, reddit, and GitHub.
This Voice Search extension asks you to speak clearly for best speech recognition results.
To see all SE click on the arrows displayed on the left of the icon installed in the toolbar.
Note: Please note that keyboard shortcut support or automatically capturing speech input as soon as the extension button is clicked are not possible at this time.

· Google Chrome
