5.0.0 Overview

 System - Voice Search adds a voice search capability to Joomla for compatible browsers.  Currently, Chrome and Opera are the only browsers to support this feature.  Firefox and Internet Explorer/Edge have future plans.

 

Installation

  1. Download System - Voice Search from the RicheyWeb download page.  
    • This page will remain unlinked, as the link may change in the future.  Visit http://www.richeyweb.com and use the search feature - search for "System - Voice Search".
  2. In Joomla /administrator, go to the "Extensions" menu, the "Manage" sub-menu, and the "Install" sub-menu.
  3. Select the "Upload Package File" tab
  4. Press the "Choose File" button to browse your system and locate the plugin file you downloaded
  5. Press the "Upload & Install" button

At this point, the extension is installed but not enabled.  You can find the plugin by going to the Extensions menu and selecting "Plugins".  When in the plugin manager, search for "System - Voice Search".  

 

Configuration

Voice search can be added to other fields using CSS selectors.  If you can design a selector to identify your input field, this plugin can attach voice recognition to it.

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
