Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Speech KITT

Speech KITT makes it easy to add a GUI to sites using Speech Recognition. Whether you are using annyang, a different library or webkitSpeechRecognition directly, KITT will take care of the GUI.

Speech KITT provides a graphical interface for the user to start or stop Speech Recognition and see its current status. It can also help guide the user on how to interact with your site using their voice, providing instructions and sample commands. It can even be used to carry a natural conversation with the user, asking questions the user can answer with his voice, and then asking follow up questions.

Speech KITT is fully customizable, and comes with many different themes (and instructions on how to create your own designs).

Speech Recognition GUI with Speech KITT

Hello World

The most basic implementation requires 6 commands.

  1. Let KITT know how to start and stop the SpeechRecognition engine you use with SpeechKITT.setStartCommand() and SpeechKITT.setAbortCommand.
  2. Add events to your SpeechRecognition engine so it calls SpeechKITT.onStart() when it starts, and SpeechKITT.onEnd() when it stops.
  3. Tell KITT which stylesheet to use for its GUI with SpeechKITT.setStylesheet() (KITT comes with a number of pre-made styles).
  4. Start your engines with SpeechKITT.vroom()
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/SpeechKITT/1.0.0/speechkitt.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Init the browser's own Speech Recognition
var recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition();

// Tell KITT the command to use to start listening
SpeechKITT.setStartCommand(function() {recognition.start()});

// Tell KITT the command to use to abort listening
SpeechKITT.setAbortCommand(function() {recognition.abort()});

// Register KITT's recognition start event with the browser's Speech Recognition
recognition.addEventListener('start', SpeechKITT.onStart);

// Register KITT's recognition end event with the browser's Speech Recognition
recognition.addEventListener('end', SpeechKITT.onEnd);

// Define a stylesheet for KITT to use
SpeechKITT.setStylesheet('//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/SpeechKITT/1.0.0/themes/flat.css');

// Render KITT's interface
SpeechKITT.vroom(); // SpeechKITT.render() does the same thing, but isn't as much fun!
</script>

Hello World - With annyang

If you're doing Speech Recognition with annyang, you can skip most of the configuration above. Just calling SpeechKITT.annyang() will take care of the configuration explained in steps 1 & 2 above.

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/annyang/2.4.0/annyang.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/SpeechKITT/1.0.0/speechkitt.min.js"></script>
<script>
if (annyang) {
  // Add our commands to annyang
  annyang.addCommands({
    'hello': function() { alert('Hello world!'); }
  });

  // Tell KITT to use annyang
  SpeechKITT.annyang();

  // Define a stylesheet for KITT to use
  SpeechKITT.setStylesheet('//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/SpeechKITT/1.0.0/themes/flat.css');

  // Render KITT's interface
  SpeechKITT.vroom();
}
</script>
