## Skildring

Allows visitors to search the site using their voice. Currently only supported by
Chrome on both desktop and mobile. See [this technical reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API)
for more details.

See [this blog post](https://spinpress.com/wordpress-web-speech-api/) for further
information about the plugin.

## Skjermbilete

 * [[
 * The microphone button added to the search form by the plugin.

## Installasjon

### Manual Installation

 1. Upload the entire `/voice-search` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate Voice Search through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress.
 3. Visit your website and start searching using your voice.

## Vanlege spm.

### Why is there no microphone button beneath the search form?

There could be many reasons for this:

 * You’e not using Google Chrome (check out the browser support [here](http://caniuse.com/#feat=web-speech))
 * 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.

### Does this plugin still allow users to type or does it entirely replace typing with voice search?

No, users are still able to type in the search box whatever they want. Voice search
is just a nice addition.

### How does it integrate with other search-enhancing plugins such as Relevanssi?

In my tests there weren’t any problems with other plugins like Relevanssi.

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!

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.

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?

This is the same feature google chrome offers, without the need of a plugin
