Mpve "Chrome Extension - Voice Commentary" function to app or website

Sort:

Installed Chrome extension. Does not work. Should be in app or website or both.

Synopsis: Supposed to announce moves by voice. Would be perfect to use with real board while playing chess.com. Focus on real board, don't have to keep looking at screen for opponent move. Prepare for when over the board chess returns...

Appreciate consideration to fix this functionality.

The extension will have not work on a browser, so this club probably isn't the best place to post it.

 

Also, I'm not sure, but it may only work on original interface, not Play ( BETA).

Where do we post to request a feature in Play (BETA)?

Thanks!

The chrome extention works OK for me. It did struggle a little on an older pc but on the whole works fine. Pretty sure it works in play Beta also.

@BaronVonChickenpants, appreciate your feedback. Good to know it works for you. Unfortunately, I tried the extension on Chrome in a WIN10 Dell, and also on a Chromebook (both are less than 3 yrs old) . Doesn't work at all. I get the piece move sound, but not the voice announcement of moves. 

Maybe this should be an upgrade to Play live in general? At least in the Android app :-)

I agree it would be great to be built in! I'd be happy to run some tests for you tomorrow to confirm where it's working.

Stupid question, the extension has its own On /Off setting of you click on it. It's definitely turned on?

I also appreciate that "It works for me " isn't particularly helpful.... It was more so you know its not entirely broken!

I actually do appreciate your feedback happy.png

I checked the extension (on my WIN 10 Dell laptop), and it says "can read / change data on chess.com, and Danny voice is on. Then... I thought, let me check the options... which brings up a seemingly blank page. Then... when I looked at the extension again, the "can read / change data..." line was greyed out. 

So, I guess I'm puzzled.

Do you know the right forum or Club to make function requests for the whole website?

Thanks!
