Is there a way to enable microphone? It would be good if it listens for your messages while the chat box window is minimized or not active.

Whoa! That's some nice work there. I can't wait to check it out. This has so much potential.

Thank you Anton! Let me know if you have ideas.

I have a few ideas, including:

Selecting an entity with name: select entity SomeEntityName
Look at entity with name
Zoom extents at entity with name / selected
Delete entity with name/selected
Active tool [ToolName]

If you google JavaScript speech to text, you should see a number of solutions and libraries. For example, check out https://tutorialzine.com/2017/08/converting-from-speech-to-text-with-javascript

If user says an unrecognizable command, list a number of commands the are similar; allow creating aliases.

What's new in 1.0.2 version?

Chat bot listens to your voice/microphone.
This requires Windows 64 bits & Chrome 25+.
Chat bot understands following sentences:
- Select group with name ...
- Select instance with name ...
- Name ...
- Duplicate and name ...
- Clear selection.
- Delete.
- Activate Push Pull tool.
- Activate Rectangle tool.
- Activate ... tool.
- Write ...
A "Did you mean" algo. was implemented.
Chat bot understands somewhat quantities.

Nice! I tried the update with the microphone option and it works quite well. I do realize it is much faster to do things without saying but this can always be expanded to perform more complex operations.

It is amazing when geniuses are found. I am thrilled and can hardly wait for the results. I would be particularly excited about the synergies for the MSPhysics area - voice input ...
Thanks again!
