Reviews of google tone:
I didn't like it because there is no option to deactivate the constant listening. I am not comfortable with this extension being constantly listening to sounds around me. I would rather activate it manually when someone is braodcasting an url.
I really love this concept. I am just wondering if you can put an option for the mic stay off and the user manually click for receiving as needed...
Amazing application/extension, But o dont understand why no updates are given to this app??? it is most innovative tech
