Mozilla has released Firefox Voice, an experimental feature that lets you control your browser using voice commands. Firefox Voice can detect native speech and do more than control web sites with voice commands, and it’s like an assistant to your browser. Firefox’s new feature offers the ability to use many features in the browser by voice. Once installed, you can ask the plugin to open websites, switch to another tab, take a screenshot of the page, and more. You can start Firefox Voice by clicking the plug-in button or by keyboard shortcut. Firefox Voice also understands natural language. So you are not only connected to specific commands. If you are on a media site, you can use commands like ‘Play’, ‘Pause’ and ‘Silent’. In addition, it can perform a wide range of browser tasks, such as assigning shortcuts to a long command, reading aloud, muting the tab, or translating for a more useful experience. You can download the browser plug-in to try Firefox Voice here. Firefox Voice uses the Google Cloud Speech service. So voice commands are being sent to Google. However, Mozilla says that Google does not keep records. Learn how Firefox Voice works in the video below:
