LipSurf

Description

LipSurf is a Google Chrome extension that enables voice commands and shortcuts for the browser, allowing hands-free web browsing that augments the mouse and keyboard. It lets you write emails faster with your voice and dictate text, and supports over 100 languages.

LipSurf is aimed at both productivity and accessibility. It helps people use the computer while their hands are busy (such as eating or cleaning), assists those with physical impairments or those preventing repetitive strain injury, and creates quick shortcuts for complex actions, such as opening a prefilled email in Gmail with a single command.

LipSurf has an extensible plugin architecture, described as UserScripts for voice, with simple declarative plugins, command chaining, and built-in testing, plus official developer documentation for creating custom voice commands. It offers paid plans, an enterprise option, and is positioned as an alternative to Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
