Voice Commands
ToonTalk can respond to voice commands while holding widgets or tools.
This is currently enabled only if listen=1 is a URL parameter.
It works in Chrome and some versions of FireFox.
Click to learn if your browser supports speech recognition.
Note that the first time ToonTalk attemmpts to access the microphone a dialog will appear asking permission.
This will happen repeatedly if you are accessing ToonTalk via HTTP instead of HTTPS.
The magic wand

"view": {
"frontside_width": 191,
"frontside_height": 31,
"frontside_left": 6,
"frontside_top": 6
},

}
You can say "suck" or "erase" while the vacuum is over a widget to remove or erase it.
Each time you say "restore" the vacuum will unerase a widget if selected otherwise it will spit out a previously removed item.
If you say "remove all" then everything will be removed (but still can be restored).
Voice commands that work for all widgets
You can say "I am ..." or "I'm ..." to provide a description of the widget that is held.
The description will appear in tool tips and on the back side of the widget.
Voice commands for named widgets
