Butler.js is the voice driven, portable butler for your personal needs.
You can easily customize it to your needs and he will never betray you.
Butler is developed with the aim of making life simpler for developers and designers, specifically in debugging/drafting.
What you would have done before through the keyboard and scripts can now be done by commanding Butler by voice.
With a bit of healthy humor and fun.
Butler.js is developed by 720kb.
Many libraries offer the possibility to activate voice commands, Butler offers the same but it starts with already defined commands that can help you debugging or anyway to have fun while debugging and make your life simpler in the browser daily routine.
Plus you have the ability to write your own plugins (and this is very easy) to expand the abilities of Butler at your leisure.

Butler can be used in various languages available here (Soon there will be more languages)
If you want Butler to understand italian language for example, just include the i18n italian file after butler main file:
<script src="butler.min.js"></script>
<script src="butler.it_IT.js"></script>This way all the default commands gets translated to italian, you can check translations for each i18n file from their README file
Butler exposes some good stuff you can interact with.
You can check them all by:
window.console.info(Butler);Highlighter is the Butler selector (taken from Highlighter.js), is the DOM surfer who take trace of the selected and current elements.
window.console.info('Which element are you on Butler?', Butler.Highlighter.element);Clipboard is where Butler saves the last copied text and/or cloned element.
window.console.info('What you copied or cloned Butler?', Butler.Clipboard);Voice is the Butler voice, simple.
Butler.Voice.volume = 0.5;
Butler.Voice.play();Commands is the Object containing all the default Butler voice commands.
window.console.info('Which commands do you know Butler?', Butler.Commands);If you need some of them to be run just do:
var ButlerCommand = Butler.Commands['selector on'];
ButlerCommand();Available events
document.addEventListner('Butler:start', function (data) {
console.info('Butler is started and microfone is allowed', data);
});
document.addEventListner('Butler:end', function (data) {
console.info('Butler has stopped working', data);
});
document.addEventListner('Butler:detection', function (data) {
console.info('Butler has new detections', data);
});
document.addEventListner('Butler:detection-match', function (data) {
console.log('Butler detection is matching', data);
});
document.addEventListner('Butler:detection-not-match', function (data) {
console.log('Butler detection is not matching', data);
});
document.addEventListner('Butler:error', function (error) {
console.error('Butler returned an error', error);
});Writing a plugin is very simple, all you have to do is to define new commands using the plug() method.
If you want to access Butler tools have a look here
Example
butler.plugin.js
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
Butler.plug({
'do something when i say this sentence': function callback(){
window.alert('You said that sentence');
}
});
});index.html
<head>
<script src="butler.min.js"></script>
<script src="butler.plugin.js"></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
Butler.start();
});
</script>
</head>Now all the butler.plugin.js defined commands and callbacks are plugged and can be used.
Please refer to annyang documentation to define new commands
Enable debug mode
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
Butler.start({
'debug':true
});

We would be pleased if you help to develop and grow the project more and more.
The goal is to make the life of programmers and designers more simple and fun, so any suggestion, PR, and specially plugin is welcome and appreciated a lot.
Thank you.

- Not ready for a production project
- Default commands may be changed or modified at any time, others will come soon
- The Speech Detection is still very slow sometimes, using https:// will be slighty faster
- If you have multiple tabs working on speech recognition and microphone there will be problems, please use Butler on a single browser tab and close the other tabs that are asking for your microphone
- to Google and Google developers, for the awesome webkit-speech API
- to https://github.com/TalAter/annyang developers and maintainers for the awesome library.
