I'm not able to get Chrome to show me the "speak" window when I use the keyword "VS". I only get a new google search tab.

 

Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.

Also, is it possible to have the workflow open a new tab with the keyboard command?

 

Thanks very much for your help on matter.

Hi plucas62. Google changed the way the voice search was activated after I posted the workflow. I have posted a new version which should work as expected.

Hi adayzdone,

 

Yes, I got the update and it works great. Question, is it possible to have the mic selected after you hit "VS"?

I'm not sure I understand. Will you explain a bit more?

[plucas62]

is it possible that when I type "VS" and hit enter a new tab appears and the google microphone is activated and I can start speaking? 

[adayzdone]

What happens when you do that now?

[plucas62]

Hey adayzdone,

 

I just tried the keyboard command again and its working perfectly now. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Thanks for your help and the great workflow!
