Comment # 2 on bug 1170777 from Geoffrey Fagan

And now it's actually working the plasmoid, after I go into ~/mycroft-core from
the git-based install and run ./start-mycroft.sh. Certain functionality is
absent, like "Hey Mycroft, open firefox" or any other program does nothing.
Looking through the menu of skills in the plasmoid, the only one I see that
looks relevant is plasma-mycroft-applet-control, and when I click to install,
mycroft reports it doesn't exist. 

While a good voice assistant is an important accessibility aid for some people,
mycroft still seems to be at the proof-of-concept stage, insufficiently
accurate in its speech-to-text to serve that purpose. Going to dictation.io
website, I get much better accuracy, even though it's supposedly using the same
stt engine as mycroft (google's). Therefore I agree with the low priority
assigned to my report.
