What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI control my browser (actually my whole computer) with my voice.
I'm not aware of anything specific where you could say "click publish" and it would intelligently find the published button, though I haven't looked.
What I use is a combination of vimium (a vim browser plugin, there are a few) and talon (https://talonvoice.com/), either just relying on the vim shortcuts but with my voice, of for specific domains making talon shortcuts.
I have also heard good things about Rango, which is supposed to be a vimium like thing but much more voice focused: https://github.com/david-tejada/rango. I haven't tried to use it though.
