My worry had been about how a user would navigate to the voice browser extension - as Chrome browser is not self-voicing (and, without the need for an external screen-reader).
With omnibox support now implemented a user can launch Chrome browser (or open a new tab) - focus will go to the omnibox in both cases - and type "mm". The Project metalmouth extension will recognise this keyword and ask the user to "press the space bar then press enter". These two additional actions will start the extension, meaning a user needs only four key presses from launching Chrome to being able to surf the web via the extension.
So, the aim today is to improve the Getting Started and User Guide wiki pages for Project metalmouth - to reflect the work above.
As always, if you are using the extension or just like the intensions behind the project (I already like you and think your wonderful) I would ask you to get involved in the project (especially user testing, feature requests, etc...) - otherwise, maybe just providing a link to the project website (http://code.google.com/p/metalmouth/) so that others may more easily find it.
