The core functionality of LipSurf revolves around its high-performance speech recognition engine, which translates spoken words into actionable commands within the browser. Users can dictate text, edit content, and fill out forms with ease. The extension offers precise control over web elements, allowing users to click on links by saying "click [thing text]" or by using annotated tags. Navigation is also streamlined, with commands for opening new tabs, switching between existing ones, and scrolling through pages.
LipSurf boasts a range of advanced features, including speech-to-text (STT) with a live transcript display, and a wake-word activation (say "hey LipSurf") for hands-free operation, available in its premium version. Users can create custom shortcuts to map any phrase to a specific command, further personalizing their experience. The extension also includes text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities and works with applications like Google Sheets (premium). Integrations are a key aspect, with specific voice command support for platforms such as Gmail, YouTube, Duolingo, WaniKani, and Reddit, enabling actions like selecting messages, composing emails, playing videos, answering questions, and upvoting content.
The tool supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese, and Portuguese, German, Finnish, and Dutch for specific platforms like Duolingo. Users can expand the command set infinitely through plugins and custom options, with over 100 built-in commands. LipSurf also allows users to add custom corrections, shortcuts, and synonyms directly from the transcript. For support and community engagement, users can visit the LipSurf website for updates, tutorials, and a forum for feature requests and questions.
