Adding macrons to Māori text

A regular request or question I get is, “how do you add macrons to text when writing te reo?”. The easiest way to do this is to enable a Māori keyboard, which can be done by following these instructions.

However, some teachers or educators have devices where system options are locked by their organisation. For those people, using a simple Chrome extension can be a simple, no fuss solution to using macrons quickly while writing on your device. The following video tutorial highlights how to add the Polynesian Text Chrome extension for devices that have Chrome enabled.
