Major Update 6/13/2019 MIMI AI


After uploading to Itch io  I noticed the Mimi video responses were sometimes slow, did not play or played too long

This is not a problem using it from my desktop but I was using one video and searching to the response needed and because of the lag time caused between sending the command to the internet and all the other stuff Chrome is doing it wouldn't work properly.

So I spent the day chopping the responses in to little bites and using those to reduce any lag and it seems to be working now.

Note: If you experience lag it is probably because you have a slow internet connection or web pages running that are taking up time. Close those web pages and it should work correctly.

If you notice a lag when you first run MIMI AI wait until  the interface fully loads. You can also type R for a hard restart.

I also  added a digital date and time to the interface and a bunch of new websites and search engines and appliances to try out.

I changed the voice button to a microphone on the desk. Click it once and it will turn green to show it is waiting for a spoken command or search terms. When it has a result it will go to your command or see below for using search terms. If microphone stays green and did not get a result click it again and speak clearly next to your system microphone. Not all microphones are powerful and you must be in range.

NOTE: You can search for specific terms using MIMI. Click on the microphone on the desk and say the terms you want to search for and can be multiple terms like "dog breeds" and then click on the search engine you want to use: Google, WIKI, Duck or click IMAGES and that will take you to images of your search terms on Duck.  be aware I am not your mother so searching for inappropriate stuff will be saved in your browser history.

I added 5 new appliances to try and these will be connected to smartplugs and your appliances in the final version. For now you can command MIMI to turn on an appliance and the appliance will be shown on the desk that it has been turned on.

I have added a text box for you to type commands and search terms but that is not active yet. That is my project for tomorrow.

Any feedback on features or services you would like to see on MIMI or bug reports are welcome in the comments. I especially would like to hear from people that are blind or mobility disabled as to what services would help you.
