Feature: Ability to change user language

[saavran]

Need a drop down menu in popup.html(settings) which will change the user speaking language.

https://github.com/Anna-Assistant/Anna/blob/master/background.js#L183

Has recognition language set to en-us for now.

Update on this ?

I was trying to do this. I did some research. I got the design that how we can make it but I didn't find that how to make able multiple language recognition.
This is the link to how it should look like.

I mean you can keep an array of supported lanagaues and drop down will come . User can select from it. And it will set the variable in background.js .

Don't u think 10 points are very low for this.
I mean 30 points will be good.

@gauthamzz
Assign it to me...
I will do it.

I think this was already solved in the earlier issue by you.

I guess this is a duplicate and already solved. you can take this points as well

@gauthamzz
Voices and languages are two different things.
One language can be speak in different style or voices.
And moreover this is releated to speech recognition not to speech synthesis.

The eariler issue that I solved was related to speech synthesis.

[gauthamzz]

oh yes, you need to make this change https://github.com/Anna-Assistant/Anna/blob/master/background.js#L196

But i think you should use voice and language using the same text box only. i guess 10 is fine then

[vikasgola]

@gauthamzz But one language can be speak in many different voices. So it will be better to have another option for languages.

It will just increase complexity. I like to keep a clean pop up.

We need to keep more settings button and keep few over there , if you would like to do it.

You are free to do what you wish to do. Just make sure the code and the pop up is clean 😇
