Does the chrome extention still work?

I've installed the chrome extension but can't figure out how to tell slack to listen to my voice and send a message. Am I missing something??

hi! I didn't test it for a long time. they might have changed things in the meanwhile. I'll see if I can make the script snippet to work again.

hi, I updated javascript snippet.

to use it, go to the Slack webpage of a channel or direct chat, open Developer tools, copy/paste https://github.com/crackleware/slack-webspeech/blob/master/slack-webspeech-snippet.js to New snippet in Sources tab of Developer tools (if you are using Chrome), save it, then execute the snippet to start voice recognition and text-to-speech (automatic reading of received messages).

they changed a lot of things since the original script was written, which is expected, so good luck! tell me if it works. I'm not sure that I would use it often but it's really fun and weird experience :)
