Can now say "find something" where something is any item you like belonging to the current collection. e.g. "find fish", "find roman history", "find cosmos", "find humanity". You will then be taken to the canvas (if on home page view) and journeyed to the first item (timeline, exhibit or content item) that matches what you're looking for. If the item cannot be found, you'll be told. Also has option to toggle speech input/control on/off via web config. Currently only works in Chrome. It has been stated that IE12 will also support speech input so might be worth installing the preview of IE12 to test.

Nice work, @NeilCresswell! While testing, I figured out some things that restrict me from publishing it to master branch.
Thanks! |

Adds general HTML5 speech input capability to ChronoZoom for browsers that are capable. Is safely ignored by browsers that are not capable. Also has option to enable/disable speech input in web config. Please note that this version defaults to disabled state in web.config for now since:
If you'd like to enable this on your personal copy of CZ to experiment (or demo) then this line should be added to your web.config:
Uses general HTML5 speech input capability to drive verbal searches of ChronoZoom (fully implemented) using the find verb in the format "find *". For example, from the home page of CZ (anon user) you can say "find fish" and the view will switch to the canvas of timelines and the first timeline/exhibit/content item with "fish" in it will be located and you'll be navigated to that item. You can then search for something else such as "find humanity", "find Roman history" or "find cosmos". If an item can't be found, e.g. "find manatees" then you're told "Unable to find manatees".
Including now so work is not lost for potential future use. There was a discussion about possible finishing up a verbal tour navigation feature. The next item/previous item verbage for tours is already captured and passed to the appropriate empty functions (stubbed.) All that would be required would be to add code to make sure that a tour window was up and if so, fire the next or previous buttons. This is quite trivial to implement.
