NOTES:

  • This will blacklist and replace the functionality of MycroftAI/skill-speak, see Issue#24
  • This will blacklist and replace the functionality of MatthewScholefield/skill-repeat-recent
  • When asking to repeat what was previously said source is taken into consideration, if you ask in cli, gui, hivemind or STT response will vary accordingly, ie. using voice satellite wont respond with STT from device, only same source is taken into consideration
  • Previous transcriptions are not persisted to disk

Examples

  • “say Goodnight, Gracie”
  • “repeat Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore”
  • “speak I can say anything you’d like!”
  • “Repeat what you just said”
  • “Repeat that”
  • “Can you repeat that?”
  • “What did I just say?”
  • “Tell me what I just said.”
