Voice Recognition plugin for hexchat

This plugin uses the linux say command to say chat messages, lets you know when some joins or quits, etc.. It requires the gnustep-gui-runtime and python

To install the gnustep runtime you can type this in on ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install gnustep-gui-runtime

then you can test to see if the say command works by typing

say hi im chucky wanna play?

Then if that works then the next step is to know where to put the plugin. Find the path type in, if the folder doesn’t exist create it.

hexchat -p

Next download and unzip the source code to the plugins folder.
