With this plugin you make it possible for your visitors to scroll and navigate your website by talking to the browser (enlgish only). The idea behind this plugin is to give people with disabilities (that makes it difficult or impossible to use a mouse) a better website experience.
<blockquote>
NOTICE! This plugin is mostly for fun and can’t really be put into use since Chrome is the only browser implementing -webkit-speech at the moment. It’s also not possible to trigger the speech input without clicking on the input field, which is in contradiction to the purpose of this plugin. But as soon as the browsers adds the event startSpeechInput to speech inputs this will be possible to achieve.
</blockquote>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
After that you’ve installed the plugin a dialog box will appear in the left corner of your website. In the dialog box there will be a small microphone-icon. Click on the icon and a recording will start (remember that this is only supported by Google Chrome at the moment).
Say one of the following commands and the magic will happen (you have to say it loud and clear, otherwise googles servers gets a bit muddle-headed).
<ul>
<li>“scroll down”</li>
<li>“scroll up”</li>
<li>“scroll” – Will trigger the last scroll command you said</li>
<li>“link X” – There will be a number in a gray circle beside every link on your page. You navigate to a link simply by saying “link” followed by the number.</li>
</ul>

This plugin implements a <a href="http://www.humanized.com/weblog/2006/04/25/no_more_more_pages" rel="nofollow ugc">“Humanized History”</a> feature for WordPress 
archives, using some PHP glue on the back end and some unobtrusive 
JavaScript on the front-end. In JavaScript-enabled browsers, Humanized 
History eliminates the need for users to click on “previous posts” links to 
read back through your archives; instead, when users get near the bottom of 
the current page of posts, the included JavaScript automatically displays 
more posts for them at the bottom of the page, providing a magic endless 
scrollbar that scrolls through your entire archives, in place of traditional 
page chunking.
Search robots and browsers without JavaScript enabled will see the same old 
pages with previous page/next page links, so you lose nothing in accessibility 
or friendliness to search engines.
The plugin was inspired by the discussion of the concept by Aza Raskin at 
<a href="http://www.humanized.com/weblog/2006/04/25/no_more_more_pages" rel="nofollow ugc">Humanized (2006-04-25): No More Pages?</a>. To see a sample of the feature as 
implemented in WordPress, go to <a href="http://projects.radgeek.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://projects.radgeek.com/</a> and scroll down 
toward the bottom of the page.
Don’t make your readers ask you for more content. Just give it to them.
<h3>Templates and Styling</h3>
If your <code>index.php</code> and <code>archive.php</code> templates provide previous page / next 
page links at the bottom of the content, you will probably want to remove these 
links from your templates. The plugin automatically provides its own previous 
page / next page links at the bottom of the front page and archive pages.
Many WordPress templates (including the default “Kubrick” template) display 
posts differently depending on whether they are in archives or in search 
results. “Kubrick,” for example, doesn’t display the post’s contents in search 
results. If you want to keep different formats for displaying archives as 
against search results, then use code something like this in your 
 template_post_display() function:
<pre><code>function template_post_display () {
 if (is_search()) {
 // display post for paged search results
} else {
 // display post for paged archives
}
}
</code></pre>
You may also want to add some styling to your template’s stylesheet for the 
navigation links that the plugin automatically generates. Here is what I use to 
display the “older posts” link at the far left side of the content column, and 
the “newer posts” link at the far right side on the same line:
<pre><code>#content .navigation {
 display: block; position: relative; list-style: none;
 text-align: center;
 margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 60px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
 padding: 0;
}

#content .navigation .prev {
 display: block; position: relative; list-style: none;
 top: 0; bottom: auto; left: 0; right: auto; width: 45%;
 margin: 0; padding: 0;
 text-align: left;
}

#content .navigation .next {
 display: block; position: absolute; list-style: none;
 top: 0; bottom: auto; left: auto; right: 0; width: 45%;
 margin: 0; padding: 0;
 text-align: right;
}
</code></pre>
If you want to change the appearance of the “Getting more content for you…” 
status indicator, then add a rule to your CSS stylesheet for the class 
 humanized-history-getting-more. E.g., to create a dark translucent box that 
floats over the footer material below:
<pre><code>.humanized-history-getting-more {
 position: absolute;
 width: auto; height: auto;
 border: 3px solid #505050;
 padding: 0.25em 1.0em;
 background-color: #777777;
 opacity: 0.85;
 z-index: 10000;
