RISE Update: January 16, 2025

For this post, I figured I would do a total update instead of a single "what I completed this weekend" update. So, since I started working on RISE back in January of 2024, I have completed the following modules:

Introduction

When launched, RISE will greet me with weather, time, date, emails, and more

Scheduling

I can schedule tasks that get logged into my calendar

Email

When prompted, RISE will display my inbox and inform me how many emails are read/unread

Empty recycling bin

RISE will clear out my computer recycling bin

Keyboard shortcuts

I have added every Windows shortcut key to be voice activated

Translator

RISE can translate languages to and from English, still needs major work

Open/search websites and Programs

Simple "Open/search 'query' " to launch programs and websites

Internet Speed Test

RISE will run a speed test using speedtest.net and display the results

Screenshot

RISE will take a screenshot, still need to add the saving to custom spots and names

Control Camera

I can open/close the camera and use its functions with my voice

Calculator

I can verbally run any calculation, still working on the graphing calculator portion

News and Forecast

RISE will fetch me the latest news and weather updates

Reminders

This is used for more tasks than scheduled events

System Power options

I can restart, shutdown, lock, and put my PC into hibernation through RISE

Google Maps

I can search for destinations and get directions through RISE, still working on voice control for all map functions

I will keep the planned modules private for now and will release an update post as they are coded and completed.
