Back to my other Ubiquity Commands

Ubiquity Command for Google Voice

Highlight any phone number on the web and place a call using Google Voice (Command source or repository on github) .

Verbs

Important: This command must be configured before you can use it:

  1. Be sure you are logged in to Google Voice
  2. Execute the 'google voice setkey' command
  3. Set the phone number for Google Voice to call you with the 'google voice setphone' command and your 10-digit phone number.

Once configured, you can call any phone number by highlighting it and using the call verb. Alternatively, you may enter a number manually in the command line.

Trouble shooting

  1. This command requires Ubiquity 0.5x
  2. Be sure you're logged into Google Voice before trying to place a call (todo: add a check for this in a later version)
  3. You can check your configuration with the 'google voice configcheck' command, or use Firefox's about:config (enter "about:config" in your address bar). Search for google_voice, and check your key (view source on the Google Voice page and search for _rnr_se) and phone number.

You should follow me on Twitter for updates, also the easiest way to reach me with feedback about these commands.
