About
Now play chess on your favorite sites hands-free. Just say the squares to move to and see the pieces move in front of your eyes (yeah Ron, we can do this too!)
- Makes chess accessible to wider audience as well as lets people play hands-free.
- Supports both: Chess.com and Lichess.org
- Easy to use. Just click the extension in top bar once you're on a game page to inject the widget.
- Privacy focused. Listens only when you explicitly start listening.
- Converts alphabetic notations to numeric on the board in single click for easy reference.
- Comes with built-in help menu to help with commands and usage.
How to speak moves?
- For calling moves, you can either:
- Call combined source and destination. Ex. "52 73" for e2 -> g3
- Or call source and destination separately. Ex. "52" for e2 followed by "73" for g3
- During promotion, move the pawn first and then say the piece number to promote to. "1" for Queen, "2" for Rook, "3" for Bishop and "4" for Knight.
THIS IS NOT A CHESS ENGINE. The extension does not provide any help on which moves to make, it just facilitates moving the desired piece with voice commands.
