I used the add-on to create the following example.
This add-on has so many possibilities.
Thanks! I have been looking for something like this to help student writers get around the barrier of handwriting.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I am glad that I could help!
DeleteHi, thank you for your great post.
ReplyDeleteI have tried this just now, but unfortunately, the blue "start" button does not respond on my Toshiba Chromebook 2.
Just for your information.
Midogonpapa - I am sorry to hear that it will not work on your Chromebook. I just tested it out on a Lenovo Chromebook and it worked fine. Did you activate your microphone? I did experience that without allowing permission to the microphone the Start button was grayed out. The Allow/Deny comes up on the top of the Chrome browser when you start the add-on. I do hope you are able to get the add-on to work for you.
