Executing PowerShell Scripts by Voice ===================================== Build your own voice assistant by voice recognition and response (VRR). It's comfortable and so much fun, just give it a try 😊 🔧 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*, allow the script execution and set the search path to it (see the [FAQ page](FAQ.md) for details). 3. Select your personal wake word. Recommended wake words with a high recognition rate are: *"Alexa"*, *"Bixby"*, *"Computer"*, *"James"*, or *"Jarvis"*. In the following the wake word *"Computer"* is used. 4. 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'. 🗣 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` and this script launches the calculator application.
