In the first step we check that the computer has the latest version of Google. As for testing we used a PC with Windows 7 we went to the options menu and entered in “Google Chrome Information” . If the software is not updated, the latest version will be downloaded and installed automatically.

Once this step will get into Google.com and will click on the microphone icon button in the search box.

k: Scroll up;
h: Scroll left;
l: Right shift;
r: Refresh page;

yy: Copy the current URL to clipboard

f: Copy a link in the page to the clipboard;
f: Opening a link in the current tab;
F: Open a link in a new tab;
T: Search between open tabs;
b: Open a bookmark;
B: Open a bookmark in a new tab;

L: Go to the next page in the history;
K: Go to the tab on the right;
J: Go to the tab on the left;
t: New tab;
