Note

When running for the first time (or entering a voice command for the first time), it will take some time to download the voice recognition model. This happens only once.

Usage

You can switch pages with the Left and Right arrow keys.

To enter a voice command, press and hold Space and release it when done speaking. Possible voice commands include:

• Anything containing switch|go to|page|where can|tell me|are there|show me and water|news|medicine|food|needs, like Tell me where I can find some food. This switches to the Food page.
• For adding items to the Needs page, say any item water|food|medicine|medication and a room number. It can also handle multiple items, like I need some water, food and medicine in room number 11 please.
• Removing items works the same way as adding, but it has to contain no longer|anymore|received|anything|everything|doesn't need|does not need, like Apartment 12 no longer needs water and food. Also, to remove every item from a room number, the keyword anything can be used.

When specifying items, such as I need some water, it will prompt the user to say a room number. The user can then press and hold Space again to specify a room number, such as For room number 20. Both prompts will then get concatenated and executed.

Simlarly, when specifying a room number, it will ask about which items are needed.
