Inspiration

Didn't want to get dirty hands on keyboard and mousepad when eating and watching Netflix.

What it does

Control's video through speech commands like: "Play Video" "Pause Video" "Skip Video" "Rewind Video"

How we built it

We built it by using Google's Web Speech API to recognize speech commands and then controlled the playback using the HTMLMediaElement interface after having grabbed the video's tag from the pages DOM.

In the case of Netflix, we had to inject script tags into the DOM of the page to control the player.

What's next for Voice Control Extension

Getting the first release out on the chrome web store. It has been submitted and is currently under review. Future releases may include functionality for websites other than YouTube and Netflix, perhaps some anime websites
