NOTE: Extensions are not allowed to work on special chrome:// pages or edge:// pages or the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-Ons website. Therefore, you will not be able to write a review directly at the Chrome Web Store using your voice. This is a restriction imposed by the browser. It is not a limitation of the extension.

TIP: If speech recognition is not working on a specific webpage then you can try (1) refresh the web page or (2) restart your computer. This will often fix the problem.

This extension uses the Web Speech API built into some browsers (such as Google's Web Speech API or Microsoft Edge's Web Speech API) for speech recognition, therefore we cannot guarantee the quality or continued operation of the speech recognition service.

Speech Recognition Anywhere now works in Word Online with a few bugs: It first tries to type the speech in "Tell me what you want to do" box and you have to click in the word processor box again. "New Line" and "New Paragraph" commands do not seem to work.
