Application submission: Saera updates

Project Name: Saera
Author: taixzo
Brief description: Saera is a full-featured voice recognition virtual assistant for Maemo, Harmattan, Sailfish and Ubuntu
Category: Fixing/Updating

Features/work to be judged:

• Revamp navigation system to be reliable in real-world use
• Pause media playback while Saera is speaking
• Added support for CuteSpot and LLs vPlayer for pause/resume
• Ability to use online voice recognition engines to improve recognition accuracy (currently only Wit.ai, disabled by default for privacy)
• Ability to recognize a playing song and even play a 30-second sample of it
• Option to use flite for speech synthesis instead of eSpeak, for less-robotic speech
• Query for information about notable people (works best with online speech recognition enabled)
• Calling people from your contacts list
• Fixes for devices with high pixel density

Package name and where to find the app/repository:
Package name is harbour-saera.

Due to packaging problems I will only have the Sailfish app in the repos during the contest timeframe; I hope to get the other platforms updated in the next few weeks.
