voicesurf

Allows clicking links in Firefox by voice. As pre-alpha code, this has a lot of bugs.

Installation

Installation is entirely manual right now, but binaries and extensions will be available in the future. For now:

1. Ensure you have macOS or Linux installed. Ensure you have Firefox 79 installed. Note at the moment this is only available on the Beta channel, but will be released in a week.
2. Compile the native integration with cd native && cargo build --release.
3. Create XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. By default ~/.run is hardcoded, you can run mkdir ~/.run && chmod 700 ~/.run to get that default working.
4. Copy contents of the talon directory to your Talon user directory.
5. Edit the path in native/manifest.json to be correct, and point to native/exe.
6. Follow the MDN documentation to add native/manifest.json as a new manifest.
7. Add the extension in extension/ by following the instructions here.

Usage

Say surf <X> to click on the link that contains <X>. TF-IDF search is used, so you only need to be approximately correct and can use substrings.
