Hi Donna,
Sweet! That works perfectly and I don’t even have to do any fancy work.
My next goal is to be able to ask my computer for the time.
Before I work on assigning a command do you have a idea for that?
I actually like being able to use a mix of hands on keyboard work and talk with
my computer. When it works it makes tasks flow and is just fun.
Best,
Eric Caron
