Universal Wolfram Alpha fallback

General knowledge fallback handler

Description

Ask general-knowledge queries of your Mycroft device. If no other skills can handle the request, Wolfram Alpha will be queried to see if it can find an answer. You'll be surprised by how much it knows!

For deeper exploration, you can also request the sources behind the answer. An email will be sent to your registered account linking you to all the details within Wolfram Alpha's website.

this version translates input into english and output into configured language

you should blacklist the official fallback-wolfram-alpha from your config file

Examples

• "How tall is Mount Everest?"
• "When was The Rocky Horror Picture Show released?"
• "What is Madonna's real name?"
• "What's 18 times 4?"
• "How many inches in a meter?"
• "Send me the source on that" (info on the last query)
