My experiment with using voice as input for tedious data

While doing the Hivemind quests in WoW, I came across a complex puzzle for the yellow monacle. There is a solver add-on that requires you to enter all colors/shapes in the grid, but that in itself took about 30-45 minutes just for the data entry. That's when I thought, "I wonder if I could write something that would let me just say the colors instead of clicking?"

• Chrome, more than likely. I didn't test in any other browsers, and probably won't. I accept pull requests (or you can fork this repo).
• Internet connectivity (Chrome uses Google's cloud for the voice recognition)
• A microphone
• Speakers/sound helps for the audio cues provided.
• Multiple monitors so that you can run WoW on one and Chrome on another.
