    This is happening for one of our users on Google Chrome. When they click to focus in on the search input to type their keywords, they are shown the dialog that appears to allow the site access to use the mic. However, the user has not clicked on the speaker icon at all. Just the actual search input. The dialog should only appear if they click the search icon next to the search input.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out! Do you perhaps have a link to the website where you’re using the plugin?

    Technically it is impossible to trigger the dialog without clicking the icon (either with the mouse or by focusing on the icon and pressing enter). There might be a CSS issue on your site that caused the user to actually click on the icon without realizing, i.e. they focused on the icon and not the input field and then pressed enter.

    I cannot reproduce this at https://playground.wordpress.net/?plugin=voice-search&theme=twentytwentyone either.

    We’re unable to replicate the issue on our end, but we have a screencast from the user experiencing the issue. With your message, I am suspecting there must be some Chrome extension or something else at play here. I’ll mark this as resolved as I think it’s a user error.
