Now the eyes go to a khaki color and "< < < LOADING < < <" displays
during the skill startup. When Padatious finishes the first training
we now emit a "mycroft.ready" on the messagebus.
A change to the skill_mark_1 to look for "mycroft.ready" instead of
"mycroft.skills.initialized" provides a good visual change to show that
it is ready for use.
* New formatters: nice_duration() and join_list()
Adding two new formatting functions:
* nice_duration(duration, lang="en-us", speech=True)
Accept seconds or duration and produce a nice sounding duration.
Example: nice_duration(61) == "one minute one second"
nice_duration(61, speech=False) == "1:01"
* join_list(items, connector, sep=None, lang="en-us")
Example: join_list(["a", "b", "c"], "and") == "a, b and c"
This includes a translation helper that uses text files in the
mycroft/res/text/LANG/ directory, such as "second.word".
The "phonetic_spellings.txt" mechanism converts odd words to strings that
represent what they should sound like when spoken. For example, "mycroftai"
to "Mycroft A.I.". This provides an easy mechanism to provide hints to
lots of Text to Speech engines.
This adds it to Mimic2, along with a spelling of "corgi".
Response formatting for German language ordinals depending on cases/prepositions for dates
"am 1. März" -> "am ersten März" (on the first of March)
"der 1. März" -> "der erste März" (the first of March)
"1. März" -> "erster März" (first of March)
Response formatting for mathematical results
"10 ^ 2" -> "10 hoch 2" (ten to the power of two)
Can be tested via the corresponding test_format_de or by using wolfram alpha skill:
"Was ist die Fläche von Canada"
"Wann ist George Washington geboren"
The pronunciation of English date-time was awkward without the word "the"
for dates like "Monday, the 16th at eight a.m."
Also corrected the tests to use the newer lower case "a.m." instead of "AM"
New function allows simple yes/no queries to be asked, capturing common
affirmations (e.g. "yes", "yeah", "yep", "sure", ...) and rejections
("no", "nope", ...) that are consistent across all skills.
The method will return a normalized 'yes', 'no' or whatever else is spoken
for further parsing. None is also possible.
This also adds the MycroftSkill.is_match() method to assist in matching
translated synonyms within an utterance.
