Executing PowerShell Scripts by Voice
=====================================
Voice recognition and response (VRR) is so much fun and so comfortable. Just try it for yourself!


🔧 Installation
--------------
1. Download and install *Serenade* from https://serenade.ai/ (Serenade is freely available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows).
2. Download and install the *PowerShell Scripts*, then set the search path to it.
3. Execute: `./export-to-serenade.ps1 Computer` in the *PowerShell Scripts*, this creates a custom JavaScript file at `$HOME/.serenade/scripts/PowerShell.js` using the wake word 'Computer'. Recommended wake words with a high recognition rate are: "Alexa", "Bixby", "Computer", "James", or "Jarvis". In the following the wake word "Computer" is used.


🗣 Usage
-------
1. Launch *Serenade* and click into the circle to enable Listening mode.
2. Launch *Windows Terminal* and click into the window.
3. Speak into the microphone: `Computer, open calculator` - this executes the PowerShell script `open-calculator.ps1` which launches the calculator application.
