YTPlay — Voice Search & Keyboard Shortcuts for YouTube Music
  
  YouTube Music's website has NO voice search. The mobile app does, but the web player doesn't. YTPlay fixes that.

  🎤 VOICE SEARCH (THE MISSING FEATURE)
  Press M or click the mic icon — speak any song, artist, or album name and YTPlay searches it for you. No typing, no clicking.

  • Auto-searches after 1 second of silence
  • Automatically pauses playback while listening (so the mic doesn't pick up music)
  • Supports 10 languages: Hindi, English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, French, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Chinese
  • Hinglish mode: Recognizes Hindi speech and transliterates to Roman script — keeps your search history clean
  • English mode: Perfect for foreign language songs (Provenza, Efecto, etc.)
  • Toggle modes with Space, cycle languages with Tab

  🎤 Works exactly like the mic button on YouTube — but for YouTube Music's web player, where it never existed.

  ⌨️  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
  YouTube Music's built-in shortcuts only work after you click the player. YTPlay's shortcuts work instantly, anywhere on the page.

  • → Right Arrow: Skip forward 10s (double-press: next song)
  • ← Left Arrow: Rewind 10s (double-press: previous song)

  No mouse. No clicking. Just press and go.
