Mycroft Plasmoid & Request to Join The Community

[Clemens Toennies]

Hi Aditya,

great Plasmoid!
Please consider it adding also to the store.kde.org - Plasma 5 Plasmoids:
https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/105/

Btw. Would it also work using KDE's own speech recognition tool "Simon":
https://simon.kde.org/

Greetings, Clemens.
