Voice search stopped working #21

Closed kenibale closed 13 years ago

kenibale commented 13 years ago

As the title says, super extension voice search stopped working all of a sudden. Any ideas why? Observations: When I click the voice search icon (blue mic in toolbar). the pop up window flashes up but i's blank (no mic) Same thing in the search field of all search engines; no mic on the right side, just blank as though no extension had ever been installed. Mac microphone working; checked! Was just beginning to have fun with voice search. Hope there is a fix. Thanks Ken OS X 10.6.7 Chrome 10.0.648.204

The fix is to read the directions.

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"

It was working before because you were using a previous version of Chrome that didn't require this flag.

Thanks for the response.Actually, there was no update of Chrome before or after voice search bugged.I closed all programs, turned the computer off etc... but Chrome's voice search would simply not work.Finally, I rerun the apple script and that restored all voice search functionnalities.Hope this helps.Thanks for a great extension!KenPS: any chance of voice search appearing in other languages?

Voice Search is open source. If you want it in other languages, you're going to have to localize it yourself. Refer to src/chromium/_locales/en/messages.json.
