ive only had the app a week and its great! but today the red mic stopped appearing when i clicked the blue mic, also the smaller mic has disappeared from my web pages. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and chrome with no success.

Quoth the readme:

You may need to launch Chrome with the --enable-speech-input flag. To do this on Windows, right click on your Google Chrome icon (shift+right click while Chrome is closed for Windows 7 if you have it pinned to the task bar), and set the target field to the following value:

%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --enable-speech-input

In OSX, it's a little more complicated. You have to create an Apple Script with the following code and save it in ~/Applications/

do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --enable-speech-input"
