    I really like this one!

    Btt this kind of speech recognition was always my dream. Does anyone know Windows Speech Recognition Macros? I tried to use them to achieve a Star Trek like control system for my PC before there were Alexa, Cortana, Siri, etc.. This was fun!

    This isn't relevant to Amazon Alexa but I've setup Google Now on my Android phone to respond to 'Computer' for a while now, I think it was just the case of saying the trigger word when setting it up. It's pretty cool. Big Grin

    Although sometimes it only responds to 'Okay Google', but that's only when I've got Google Now open it seems like.
