Screenshots
The microphone button added to the search form by the plugin.
Faq
There could be many reasons for this:
- You’e not using Google Chrome (check out the browser support here)
- Your theme doesn’t use the
get_search_form()function properly. The plugin relies on the default search form markup - Your theme does some CSS things that prevents the microphone button from being displayed.
No, users are still able to type in the search box whatever they want. Voice search is just a nice addition.
In my tests there weren’t any problems with other plugins like Relevanssi.

It just works!

Easy to install, if your template has the normal search box it simply works.
The plugin adds a mic button, of course, because security, all browsers need to ask permission to use it at least once, but it works!
Best choice for my project!

I am working on a portal on the EU AI Act not at least for mobile use (similar to artificialintelligenceact.eu but better, haha). In the last three days I tested four different voice search tools (WP-Plugins). The only one that really convinced me was this one - the others were really disappointing although they are really (!) expensive ... This one here works great on iphone with chrome & safari (last one is the better mobile experience because of security reasons). It works on Android, Mac & Windows with Chrome.
There might be still some minor challenges with this plugin, ok. For example: In one of the js file were some styles that I could not overwrite in the beginning with customizer. After I removed the one or other "!important" in the stylesheet. Now it works great and I can display a secon searchfield in an accordeon too. Another issue was exact responsive positioning of the icon ... ok, is still not working perfect e.g. after resizing a browser-window, but thats not really a problem. WP-Version is 6.5.2.
Very good plugin

Great plugin for voice search. It also works perfectly in Greek. No training required, as with other voice searches. I tested it on a computer and on a mobile phone with male and female voices. It works immediately and understandably.
But one very small problem I have is that the microphone graphic is black and the background color is dark gray as well. So it is not distinct. I tried to change the background in the search area, but it didn't work. Any help on this?
Would love for it to work!

Aggiornatela grazie.
Purtroppo non sono in grado di dare una stella in più vedremo se riprenderete il supporto e aggiornerete per tutti i browser compreto il nuovo internet edge.
P.S. inserite anche una serie di colori per adattarla meglio al tema dei vari siti.
