\*_Skill Name_ page-display-and-reader-skill

Most applicable to Mycroft II or any implementation with a screen, but not required.

**User story:**

\_As a person who cooks, I want this Skill to display recipes on-screen and read the text so that I can cook without putting hands on a phone or tablet

Additional user stories: any action where it may be difficult to use hands to scroll through directions on-line, ie. Knitting/crocheting and needing to see the pattern and instructions, building a plastic model (handling glue, etc) and needing to see directions.

Could be useful to anyone who is visually impaired.

**What third party services, data sets or platforms will the Skill interact with?**

Data could come from a web page, text, or pdf file.

**Are there similar Mycroft Skills already?**

_See [GitHub - MycroftAI/mycroft-skills: A repository for sharing and collaboration for third-party Mycroft skills development.](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-skills) for a list. If so, how could they be combined?_

**What will the user Speak to trigger the Skill?**

_Show document_  
_Show document {name}_  
_Page up_  
_page down_  
_next page_  
_previous page_  
_back_  
_fowrawd_  
\_first page \_  
_last page_  
_read page_  
_list documents in my library_  
_load document {name}_

**What phrases will Mycroft Speak?**

Mycroft would read the text content of the page.

**What Skill Settings will this Skill need to store?**

_See [https://mycroft.ai/documentation/skills/skill-settings/](https://mycroft.ai/documentation/skills/skill-settings/) for more information_

**Other comments?**

\_Loading or specifying documents as Skill configuration settings seems cumbersome. Perhaps there needs to be a “library” of documents or URLs, saved to Mycroft via the Skill configuration \_
