Thanks for the app and for the compliment - I'm glad you like the icon
It looks very promising, but I have few comments:
1)
I think that the reason for misspelling, mentioned by vistaus, is the limited recognition dictionary.
Currently, it seems like Saera tries to fit everything you say into few words/sentences it recognizes, which results in triggering many actions you didn't want to trigger.
One example:
I was trying to say something to Saera, but it recognized one word I said as a name of a city and immediately changed my home location to that city.
If it had a bigger dictionary, it could either recognize it correctly, or recognize it incorrectly as something else (but not necessarily the city name, as there would be more words "between" your pronounced word and the city name) and then say "I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by..." which doesn't seem to be an option right now.
EDIT:
I hope you know what I mean - more freedom in recognition would bring the possibility to 'fail' - to say something that doesn't trigger anything, but is at least well recognized
I remember that this was a problem on the N900, but with the computing power of Jolla, it shouldn't be a problem to have more robust recognition. Or am I wrong?
2)
I know that it can't get into the Harbour right now, but in case this situation changes, you should consider renaming the binary/package to 'harbour-saera' to prevent upgrade path breakages in the future.
3)
It would be cool to have some kind of modularity in the future:
Something like:
the
GHNS API
in KDE.
the Situations app on SailfishOS which allows to download more features from inside the app (even paid ones, in the future).
For example I thought of a silly plugin 'Truth or Dare', but it is too silly to push it to upstream, yet something I'd do if I had some free time
Anyways, good luck with the app!
