Frequently asked questions

How do I get a license key for the Pro version

You can visit our website and select the Pro upgrade for Universal Voice Search.

Does this work for WooCommerce websites?

No. We have created a voice search and voice shopping assistant version of our service specifically for WooCommerce. A free version with the same requirements and limitations is available here on WordPress.org and a Pro version is available on our website

Why do I need a license key for Pro?

While we are able to deliver a free service on Chrome using tools built into the browser itself we need to use our enterprise class AI technology for speech to text services to deliver an optimized experience across all platforms. A license key to enable this functionality can be obtained at our web store. You can see more details at the speak2web web page [Plugin Details] (https://speak2web.com/plugin/#plan)

How does the plugin work

The plugin adds a microphone symbol to every search bar on the web page. The plugin will engaged the microphone, transcribe the spoken words into the search bar and engage the web page’s search functionality. The plugin is able to detect the end of speech on all platforms allowing the user to simply click the microphone to start the recording and wait for the search to take place.

Do I need a security certificate for my web page?

It is required to have an active, valid, current, and widely recognized SSL certificate and use a https URL. In order to provide an ethical and privacy focused service we do not allow microphone access unless the URL is secured.
