하루 보이스 is a Chrome extension designed for the voice recognition feature of the Discord bot, Haru. With this extension, users can easily control Haru using voice commands such as "Haru, play ○○○" or "Haru, skip." Additionally, users have the option to customize the wake word from "Haru" to any other word of their choice.

One of the standout features of 하루 보이스 is the ability to play music from Chrome to Discord. When users want to share the music they are listening to on Chrome with others on Discord, they can simply use the "Play on Haru" feature. By right-clicking on a video or audio on platforms like YouTube or Twitch and selecting "Play on Haru," the extension automatically joins the Discord voice channel and plays the selected media.

But why is a Chrome extension necessary for Discord bot voice recognition? Firstly, official support for voice recognition is limited, and processing voice data from all users in a voice channel requires significant server resources. 하루 보이스 solves this problem by handling voice recognition on the user's computer and only sending the recognized commands to Haru.
